version-guard is a Node.js utility designed to enforce specific version requirements for your project's dependencies. It helps prevent compatibility issues and unexpected behavior by verifying that installed versions meet declared constraints. This package offers a simple, declarative way to manage version compatibility, ensuring consistent and reliable project dependencies across different environments.
