Super-updater NPM

Inspiration

I wanted a fast and quick solution in order to update all my NPM dependencies, while hopefully eliminating a lag time I sometimes experienced with packages which had just been updated, so I built super updater. Super updater allows you to update all your NPM dependencies quickly and reliably.

Design

Super updater and only updates the packages in package.json, and only if the version specified in the package.json doesn't match the version of the most recent release defined on the NPM repository. Super updater attempts to eliminate the standard NPM updater's lag time by directly querying the NPM repository for package information.

Usage

You can install super updater through the NPM repository. We recommend using the -g flag so super-updater can be used anywhere on your computer.

npm i -g super-updater

To update the dependencies in a package.json, you can use super updater and specify a target package.json with the -t argument. If you installed super updater globally you can use the following command:

super-updater -t package.json

If you didn't install super updater globally you will have to go to an environment that has super-updater installed and use the following command instead. This applies to all commands.
