Package Exports

simple-update-notifier
simple-update-notifier/build/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (simple-update-notifier) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

simple-update-notifier

Simple update notifier to check for npm updates for cli applications.

Demo in terminal showing an update is required

Checks for updates for an npm module and outputs to the command line if there is one available. The result is cached for the specified time so it doesn't check every time the app runs.

npm install simple-update-notifier
OR
yarn add simple-update-notifier
