Update your dependencies with two commands
Keeping up with a project’s dependencies can be difficult and time consuming. After trying a variety of methods, here’s the best way I’ve found to manage npm dependencies.
Install npm-check-updates globally
Run this command to install the npm-check-updates package:
npm install -g npm-check-updates
This allows the use of ncu regardless of whether it’s installed in the project directly.
Update project
Run this command from the workspace folder to start the interactive process:
ncu --interactive --format group
Process
- update all patch/minor updates, test
- update each major update independently, test
