How can I find the version of an installed Node.js or npm package?
This prints the version of npm itself:
npm -v <package-name>
This prints a cryptic error:
npm version <package-name>
This prints the package version on the registry (i.e., the latest version available):
npm view <package-name> version
How do I get the installed version?
Answers:
Use npm list for local packages or npm list -g for globally installed packages.
You can find the version of a specific package by passing its name as an argument. For example, npm list grunt will result in:
projectName@projectVersion /path/to/project/folder
└── [email protected]
Alternatively, you can just run npm list without passing a package name as an argument to see the versions of all your packages:
├─┬ [email protected]
│ └── [email protected]
├── [email protected]
├── [email protected]
├─┬ [email protected]
│ ├── [email protected]
│ └── [email protected]
└── [email protected]
You can also add --depth=0 argument to list installed packages without their dependencies.
