System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

npm registry queries can be slow and download large JSON payloads when you only need a packageā€™s latest version, dist-tags, publish dates, or a resolved version range.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Latest and range resolution: Get the latest version, resolve tags like alpha, and convert semver ranges (caret, comparators, hyphen ranges) into a specific version.
  • Lean metadata retrieval: Query only the required fields with a caching proxy to reduce bandwidth and latency compared with npm view.
  • Full package inspection: Fetch all versions and dist-tags, optionally including per-version metadata like engines and deprecated/provenance details; filter to versions published after a date.

Quick Start

Ask: "Using fast-npm-meta, tell me the latest version for vite and resolve the range nuxt@^3.5 to an exact version."
