> Get the latest version of a npm package
|

|
|

Fetches the version directly from the registry instead of depending on the massive [npm](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/8b5e7b6ae5b4cd2d7d62eaf93b1428638b387072/package.json#L37-L85) module like the [latest](https://github.com/bahamas10/node-latest) module does.
