Create-nuxt-app: [Feature Request]: Notify users if they're using an older version

[jamesgeorge007]

Users may not be aware about any newer releases being made and would end up using the older versions.

update-notifier serves the purpose here. As from the tagline, Inform users of your package of updates in a non-intrusive way.

if you use npx instead of globally installing npm i -g create-nuxt-app & use create-nuxt-app <app>, wouldn't npx already pull the latest version of cna and scaffold a project for you?

[jamesgeorge007]

Yeah, good point. But, consider this scenario if a user has installed CNA globally so that he can scaffold Nuxt.js projects anytime he wishes for without needing to install the package again. There is a chance that he/she might not be aware of a newer release. This is where update-notifier comes handy.

With npm i -g create-nuxt-app & create-nuxt-app client or npx create-nuxt-app client

Because your globally installed version of create-nuxt-app is outdated.

I recommend to use npx all the time and not installing it via npm -g. Otherwise that version will be used all the time and has to be kept up to date via npm update -g

The @vue/cli already has feature like this:
