Node.js, NPM - How can I see docs for old version of package

Question

For example, right now there is "apn" module v2.1.3 on npmjs: https://www.npmjs.com/package/apn

But there is issue. And I'm using 1.7.8.

I know that I can go to node_modules/apn/ and read README.md. But I wonder if there is way to see docs for 1.7.8 on npmjs.com?

I tried https://www.npmjs.com/package/[email protected], it doesn't work, but it would be good feature.

Your best option would be to see the docs on GitHub.

A link for this specific example:

• https://github.com/node-apn/node-apn/tree/v1.7.8#readme

But it is possible (though unlikely) that some module may not be available on GitHub (or not be tagged properly). In that case you'd need to get the metadata from:

• https://registry.npmjs.org/apn/v1.7.8

Download the tarball:

• http://registry.npmjs.org/apn/-/apn-1.7.8.tgz

and extract it to get the docs.
