extensions and plugins with version number (API or JSON)

https://datatables.net/download/

Is there a JSON file that lists this same data (extension/plugin, description, version number)? I've been adding them to my library one at a time, but would like to automate it, and also have a way to check that my version is current.

Thx.

Yes, check this thread.

Thanks. https://datatables.net/feeds/versions is close to what I need, but really I want the primary ESM package name,
(e.g. datatables.net-scroller-bs5) and the latest version. Optional css would be helpful.

Unfortunately, the npm names aren't really available in the feed, they are the reference key I was hoping to get.

At the moment, no - you need to translate the extension name to the npm package name. It is a good point though, a feed with the npm package names at their latest version could be useful.

I'll take a look into that.

In light of the 2.0 release, can you please revisit this? I'm getting an ".apply" error, but probably related to incompatible versions.

Here's some of that I use, is there a pattern I can follow for what version I should be using?

    "bootstrap": "^5.3.3",
    "datatables.net": "^2.0.1",
    "datatables.net-bs5": "^2.0.1",
    "datatables.net-buttons-bs5": "^3.0.0",
    "datatables.net-colreorder": "^2.0.0",
    "datatables.net-colreorder-bs5": "^2.0.0",
    "datatables.net-datetime": "^1.5.2",
    "datatables.net-fixedcolumns-bs5": "^5.0.0",
    "datatables.net-fixedheader-bs5": "^4.0.0",
    "datatables.net-responsive": "^3.0.0",
    "datatables.net-responsive-bs5": "^3.0.0",
    "datatables.net-scroller": "^2.3.0",
    "datatables.net-scroller-bs5": "^2.3.0",

and elsewhere

      "datatables.net-plugins/i18n/en-GB.mjs": "^1.13.6",
      "datatables.net-bs5": "^1.13.8",
      "datatables.net-buttons-bs5": "^2.4.2",
      "datatables.net-responsive-bs5": "^2.5.0",
      "datatables.net-scroller-bs5": "^2.3.0",
      "datatables.net-searchpanes-bs5": "^2.2.0",
      "datatables.net-searchbuilder-bs5": "^1.6.0",
      "datatables.net-select-bs5": "^1.7.0"

I'm getting this error:
