As in the title, is there any command that can list installed packages and the latest version of those packages together?

edit:

php composer.phar show

this show all available packages and also installed packages with installed version only

php composer.phar show [package]

this can get both installed version and latest version, but it is inconvenience if many packages are installed

Since Composer v1.1 (May 2016) you can run

composer outdated

According to the docs https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#show

composer show -l

or

composer show --latest

will "List all installed packages including their latest version"

Here are a few lines of my output:

behat/transliterator         v1.1.0  v1.2.0  String transliterator

This worked on composer 1.2 and 1.5.2

As the current version of composer -i option which tells composer to show only the installed version is deprecated.

So if you want to show only the installed version of a package, the syntax is: 

composer show "package-name"

If you need to pull all available versions of the package, use --all option like this:

composer show "phpunit/phpunit" --all

    [composer show "phpunit/phpunit" --all] - do you know how to narrow down the output of this command to just the lists of versions? Because there is a bunch of useless information as well. – Onkeltem May 08 '18 at 11:14

    The OP asked for a solution that works for more than one package. Can you explain how your solutions solves this requirement? – Nico Haase Mar 06 '20 at 14:04

    To improve this answer, the first example should be `vendor-name/package-name`, just `package-name` by itself fails with "Package name not found". – Elijah Lynn Apr 29 '20 at 00:35

I think

php composer show -i

is what you're looking for.

    Worth noting: "You are using the deprecated option "installed". Only installed packages are shown by default now. The --all option can be used to show all packages." Got this with Composer 1.2.0. – ZeeCoder Aug 16 '16 at 08:50

--outdated option

Perhaps, you are looking for --outdated option. It will make output like this:

zendframework/zend-db  2.9.2  2.9.3  Database abstraction layer, SQL...

2.9.2 2.9.3 - installed and new available version (according to instructions in composer files).

--all option

I guess it --all should work for you within one package.

It will show your current version with the asterisk. It will look like this:

dev-master, v0.1.2-alpha.0, * v0.1.1-alpha.0, v0.1.0-alpha.1, v0.1.0-alpha.0, dev-develop

So, I have installed v0.1.1-alpha.0.

--available option

Also, there is --available option to new version.

--available (-a): List available packages only.

https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#show

Example:

composer show --available monolog/monolog 1.0.2

In this case it will make request to available composer repositories, packagist.org or your custom ones.

P.S. My GIT version: 2.14.1

use this:

composer update --dry-run

it gives both your current versions and the latest versions of your bundles

    Not quite: it only shows which updates **meeting your version requirements** are available. For example if you require `2.*` but version `3.0.0` is available, `composer install --dry-run` won't tell you that, it'll only tell you if a greater `2.*` version is available. `composer outdated` will, thanks @daker. – BenMorel Nov 08 '17 at 13:19

To just show top-level packages (listed in composer.json), I use:

composer show -t | grep -v "[|\`]--" | grep -v "[└├]"
