Checking Latest Version alongside Error Handling
We can add error handling so that the program always runs without failing. The following code uses the catch statement to catch any error that might occur while fetching the latest version and prints it out to the console.
import latestVersion from 'latest-version';
(async () => {
try {
const version = await latestVersion('foo-package');
console.log('Latest version:', version);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching latest version:', error.message);
}
})();
Output:
NPM latest-version
