Easily update Node.js dependencies to their latest version

When you install a node.js package, you get the latest version. But, what if you need to get the latest version of the packages in an old project? Let me show you how I do it

Imagine, Below is what we’ve in the package.json of a project –

{
 "name": "projects_sass",
 "version": "1.0.0",
 "description": "",
 "main": "gulpfile.js",
 "dependencies": {
  "gulp": "^4.0.2"
 },
 "devDependencies": {
  "gulp-autoprefixer": "^7.0.1",
  "gulp-cssbeautify": "^2.0.1",
  "gulp-sass": "^4.1.0",
  "node-sass": "^4.14.1"
 },
 "author": "WickeDev",
 "license": "ISC"
}

 

Now, We run the npm outdated to find out the new releases of the packages.

To update the packages to the latest version, We need to install the npm-check-updates package globally.

npm install -g npm-check-updates

 

Now we just run this command –

ncu -u

 

Above command will change the version to the latest in the package.json file. Then we just have to run this command to update the package files –

npm update

 

That’s it! We’ve all our node.js dependencies updated to the latest version.
