## Usage

Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.

smartupdate makes it really easy to notify your tool users about new versions:

```typescript
import * as smartupdate from 'smartupdate';

// the following command will check npm for a version newer than the specified one.
// It will open the specified URL if a newer version is actually found.
await smartupdate.standardHandler.check(
  'lodash',
  '1.0.5',
  'http://gitzone.gitlab.io/npmts/changelog.html'
);
```
