freeze-package v0.1.1

Freeze Package

Freeze dependencies in package.json - for deploy stability reason

Install

npm install -g freeze-package

Usage

1. Freeze

Freeze current packages rewriting package.json with fixed dependencies versions (then deploy it and simply run "npm install" or "npm upgrade")

cd /my-node-project/
freeze-package freeze

If package.src.json not exists, will be created from current package.json, as source for further upgrade; package.src.json will be never overridden, so manage it manually: if you run "freeze-package freeze" twice, you will loose package.src.json content.

2. Upgrade

cd /my-node-project/
freeze-package upgrade

Exec "npm upgrade" from package.src.json and freeze packages versions, so package.json will be implicitly upgraded from current dependencies versions.

Example - Freeze

From starting package.json

...
"dependencies": {
  "express": "4.x",
  "fs-extra": "x",
  "commander": "x"
},
...

Then run

freeze-package freeze

package.json will be

"dependencies": {
  "express": "4.13.4",
  "fs-extra": "0.26.5",
  "commander": "2.9.0"
},

and will be created package.src.json as

"dependencies": {
  "express": "4.x",
  "fs-extra": "x",
  "commander": "x"
},

Example - Upgrade

From previous scenario, supposing fs-extra was upgraded in npm repo to newer version, running

freeze-package upgrade

will upgrade package.json as

"dependencies": {
  "express": "4.13.4",
  "fs-extra": "0.26.6",
  "commander": "2.9.0"
},

package.src.json will not be touched

"dependencies": {
  "express": "4.x",
  "fs-extra": "x",
  "commander": "x"
},
