fast-npm-meta

Fast npm package version and metadata lookups

Resolves npm package versions, dist-tags, publish dates, and engine requirements through a lightweight caching proxy. Eliminates downloading 4+ MB of registry JSON per package that slow commands like npm view require. Supports batch lookups of multiple packages in one request, version range resolution, and plain-text or JSON output for scripting.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema
How to install fast-npm-meta?â–¼

Run `npx skills add antfu/fast-npm-meta --all -g -y` in your terminal to install this skill globally.

Why use fast-npm-meta instead of npm view?â–¼

npm view downloads over 4 MB of registry JSON per package, while fast-npm-meta uses a caching proxy that returns only the data you need, making lookups much faster and cheaper.

How to check the latest version of an npm package?â–¼

Run `fast-npm-meta version vite` to get the latest version as plain text, or add `--json` for structured output with publish dates and metadata.

Can fast-npm-meta resolve version ranges?â–¼

Yes. Pass any semver range like `fast-npm-meta version "nuxt@^3.5"` and it resolves the range to the exact matching version.

Can I look up multiple packages at once?â–¼

Yes. List several packages in one command, such as `fast-npm-meta version vite nuxt vue`, and get one result per line or a JSON array.
