Updating Dependencies (npm)

With npm

You can use npm to view outdated dependencies with the outdated command:

• npm outdated

Which will output something like:

❯ npm outdated

Use npm install <packagename> to update a package’s in range dependencies.

Update all dependencies

Often you want to update to newer versions than those allowed in your package.json, or just want to update everything.

Use npm-check-updates for this.

Run once in interactive mode:

• npx npm-check-updates -i

Then select the packages you want to update. This will update your package.json only. You still need to install the updated versions. Like this:

• npm install
