How to find the current available version of a Cordova plugin

Question

I'm using a Cordova plugin - I know that an up-coming version of the plugin has a fix that I need, but at the moment I'm locked into using an older version of the plugin from before the bug was introduced.

Is there a way to find out what the current version of a plugin is without uninstalling it and reinstalling it (and then having to reinstall the older one if it's not been updated yet)?

Answer 1

You can use cordova-check-plugins to list both the locally installed version(s) and the most recent available remote version(s):

$ cordova-check-plugins

It will also allow you to automatically or interactively update installed plugins.
