Queries the npm registry to compare installed library versions against the latest available versions. Version constraints are enforced to prevent incompatible major version upgrades (e.g. jQuery 3.x will not jump to 4.x).
Value
A data.frame (invisibly) with columns:
library, installed, latest, latest_ok,
constraint, status.
Status values:
"ok"Library is up to date.
"UPDATE"A compatible update is available.
"PINNED"A new major version exists, but is blocked by the version constraint. The library is up to date within its allowed range.
"error"Lookup failed (check your internet connection).
