Get Npm dependency in node javascript file

I have a package.json file with certain dependencies. One of the dependencies is jquery. The system then downloads the files into the node_modules folder.

How can I get the version of a downloaded dependency from a Javascript file invoked by the node command?

I need to read the equivalent of npm view jquery version in a node JS file?

You can do 

console.log(require('jquery/package.json').version);

It will give you the version of the package in your local node_modules.
