Upgrade nodeJS project dependencies

February 19, 2023

Using npm

npm outdated

This can be used to checked what dependencies in your packages are needed.

npm update

This can be used to update all the minor & patch updates in your dependencies, it'll also update your package.lock.json so that everything is in sync.

npm i next@latest

The npm update does not upgrade any of the dependencies to their major update versions, but if you want to take that risk. You can use this command.

Using ncu: npm-check-updates

ncu

Shows you all the new version available.

ncu u

Updates your package.json

npm i

Installs all the updated dependencies to your project.

ncu provides some really cool ways to manage your dependencies which I really love. If you want to get into more details check out the link below: npm-check-updates

Hope it helps. Thank you.
