npm-deprecate

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

This command will update the npm registry entry for a package, providing a
deprecation warning to all who attempt to install it.

It works on version ranges as well as specific
versions, so you can do something like this:

npm deprecate my-thing@"< 0.2.3" "critical bug fixed in v0.2.3"

SemVer ranges passed to this command are interpreted such that they do
include prerelease versions. For example:

npm deprecate my-thing@1.x "1.x is no longer supported"

In this case, a version my-thing@1.0.0-beta.0 will also be deprecated.

You must be the package owner to deprecate something. See the owner and
adduser help topics.

To un-deprecate a package, specify an empty string (&quot;&quot;) for the message
argument. Note that you must use double quotes with no space between them to
format an empty string.
