upgrade-dependencies-simple v1.0.2

upgrade-dependencies-simple

A simple, auditable, no external dependencies cli script that upgrades your dependencies to the latest version

Why?

There are multiple packages claiming to do this. All of them have either many dependencies, lengthy code, or it's hard to audit what they are doing. This project is different. What we do:

• read the project.json from the current working dir
• fetch the latest dependencies and devDependencies versions from NPM via a simple rest call
• by default no destructive actions are done, the new json simply printed to stdout
• there is a hidden --force-save to write out the new package.json if you are lazy

How to use

Prints the upgraded package.json to stdout. No destructive actions done

npx upgrade-dependencies-simple

Overwrites your package.json.

npx upgrade-dependencies-simple --force-save

PS: Don't forget to run npm install after updating your package.json!

Requirements

node version >= 12
