I have 1 node library called sample, and anyone who would like to use my library must install it using npm i sample --save.
Let say the current version of sample is 3.0.0 and I would like to mark the version < 2.0.0 to be out-of-date.
E.g., client A installs library@1.0.0 should get out-of-date warning when running npm outdated.
How can I configure my sample?
There is a subcommand in npm called deprecate.
You can use the subcommand like this npm deprecate <pkg>[@version] <message>
To get more detailed explanation of the command and example , from the terminal run npm help deprecate
You can use npm deprecate. Basically you can run the following command:
npm deprecate library@"<2.0.0" "All versions older than v2.0.0 are deprecated."
