# Updating npm dependencies
|
|
|
|
- Check outdated packages
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm outdated
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Update local packages according to `package.json`
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Upgrade packages manually
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install --save[-dev] <package_name>@latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use [npm-check](https://github.com/dylang/npm-check) to perform an interactive upgrade:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm-check -u --skip-unused
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Locking package versions
|
|
|
|
Starting from `npm@5` a new `package-lock.json` file is
|
|
[automatically generated](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package-locks) when using `npm install` commands, to ensure a
|
|
reproducible dependency tree and avoid unwanted package updates.
|
|
|
|
If you use a previous npm version, it is recommended to use [npm shrinkwrap](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/shrinkwrap) to
|
|
lock down all your dependencies version:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm shrinkwrap --dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create a file `npm-shrinkwrap.json` alongside your `package.json` files.
|
|
|
|
> Do not forget to run shrinkwrap each time you manually update your dependencies!
