If you use semantic release
to publish your NPM modules (and you should!), then your package.json
has a generic 0.0.0-semantic-release or 0.0.0-development. What is the
actual latest version of the package?
This little utility fetches it - uses either package.json version or
the latest Git tag (according to semver comparison)
The latest version is useful for exception reporting for example, especially
used together with Git SHA.
``sh`
$ npm install latest-version-or-tag
$ $(npm bin)/latest-version-or-tag
latest version 1.2.0
Or use it as a module
`js`
const latest = require('latest-version-or-tag')
latest()
.then(console.log) // just version string
.catch(console.error)
Run the module with environment variable
`sh``
$ DEBUG=latest latest-version-or-tag
