$ npm install npm-pick-manifest
npm-pick-manifest
is a standalone
implementation of npm's semver range resolution algorithm.
$ npm install --save npm-pick-manifest
const pickManifest = require('npm-pick-manifest')
fetch('https://registry.npmjs.org/npm-pick-manifest').then(res => {
return res.json()
}).then(packument => {
return pickManifest(packument, '^1.0.0')
}) // get same manifest as npm would get if you `npm i npm-pick-manifest@^1.0.0`
engines
requirements are satisfied over those
that will raise a warning or error at install time.> pickManifest(packument, selector, [opts]) -> manifest
Returns the manifest that best matches selector
, or throws an error.
Packuments are anything returned by metadata URLs from the npm registry. That
is, they're objects with the following shape (only fields used by
npm-pick-manifest
included):
{
name: 'some-package',
'dist-tags': {
foo: '1.0.1'
},
versions: {
'1.0.0': { version: '1.0.0' },
'1.0.1': { version: '1.0.1' },
'1.0.2': { version: '1.0.2' },
'2.0.0': { version: '2.0.0' }
}
}
The algorithm will follow npm's algorithm for semver resolution, and only
tag
, range
, and version
selectors are supported.
The function will throw ETARGET
if there was no matching manifest, and
ENOVERSIONS
if the packument object has no valid versions in versions
.
If the only matching manifest is included in a policyRestrictions
section
of the packument, then an E403
is raised.
All options are optional.
includeStaged
- Boolean, default false
. Include manifests in the
stagedVersions.versions
set, to support installing staged
packages when appropriate. Note
that staged packages are always treated as lower priority than actual
publishes, even when includeStaged
is set.defaultTag
- String, default 'latest'
. The default dist-tag
to
install when no specifier is provided. Note that the version indicated
by this specifier will be given top priority if it matches a supplied
semver range.before
- String, Date, or Number, default null
. This is passed to
new Date()
, so anything that works there will be valid. Do not
consider any manifests that were published after the date indicated.
Note that this is only relevant when the packument includes a time
field listing the publish date of all the packages.nodeVersion
- String, default process.version
. The Node.js version
to use when checking manifests for engines
requirement satisfaction.npmVersion
- String, default null
. The npm version to use when
checking manifest for engines
requirement satisfaction. (If null
,
then this particular check is skipped.)avoid
- String, default null
. A SemVer range of
versions that should be avoided. An avoided version MAY be selected if
there is no other option, so when using this for version selection ensure
that you check the result against the range to see if there was no
alternative available.avoidStrict
Boolean, default false
. If set to true, then
pickManifest
will never return a version in the avoid
range. If the
only available version in the wanted
range is a version that should be
avoided, then it will return a version outside the wanted
range,
preferring to do so without making a SemVer-major jump, if possible. If
there are no versions outside the avoid
range, then throw an
ETARGET
error. It does this by calling pickManifest first with the
wanted
range, then with a ^
affixed to the version returned by the
wanted
range, and then with a *
version range, and throwing if
nothing could be found to satisfy the avoidance request.Return value is the manifest as it exists in the packument, possibly decorated with the following boolean flags:
_shouldAvoid
The version is in the avoid
range. Watch out!_outsideDependencyRange
The version is outside the wanted
range,
because avoidStrict: true
was set._isSemVerMajor
The _outsideDependencyRange
result is a SemVer-major
step up from the version returned by the wanted
range.versions
,
policyRestrictions.versions
, and (if includeStaged
is set)
stagedVersions.versions
.dist-tag
is requested,
before
date, then
select that from the set.before
date, then re-start
the selection looking for the highest SemVer range that is equal to
or less than the dist-tag
target.before
date, then
select the specified manifest.before
date, then raise
ETARGET
error. (NB: this is a breaking change from v5, where a
specified version would override the before
setting.)defaultTag
refers to a dist-tag
that satisfies the range (or
if the range is '*'
or ''
), and the manifest is published before the
before
setting, then select that manifest.avoid
