npm-check-updates 16.10.0

Feature

Added filterResults option to filter out upgrades based on a user provided function.

filterResults runs after new versions are fetched, in contrast to filter and filterVersion, which run before. This allows you to filter out upgrades with filterResults based on how the version has changed (e.g. a major version change).

Only available in .ncurc.js or when importing npm-check-updates as a module.

/** Filter out non-major version updates.
  @param {string} packageName               The name of the dependency.
  @param {string} currentVersion            Current version declaration (may be range).
  @param {SemVer[]} currentVersionSemver    Current version declaration in semantic versioning format (may be range).
  @param {string} upgradedVersion           Upgraded version.
  @param {SemVer} upgradedVersionSemver     Upgraded version in semantic versioning format.
  @returns {boolean}                        Return true if the upgrade should be kept, otherwise it will be ignored.
*/
filterResults: (packageName, {currentVersion, currentVersionSemver, upgradedVersion, upgradedVersionSemver}) => {
  const currentMajorVersion = currentVersionSemver?.[0]?.major
  const upgradedMajorVersion = upgradedVersionSemver?.major
  if (currentMajorVersion && upgradedMajorVersion) {
    return currentMajorVersion < upgradedMajorVersion
  }
  return true
}
