yarn-update-indirect v1.0.0

yarn-update-indirect

Tool to update indirect dependencies in Yarn lockfiles. Indirect means that the dependency is not directly referenced in a project's package.json, but is a transitive dependency of a package that is.

This tool is a workaround for the lack of an easy built-in way to update indirect dependencies in yarn.lock files. See this issue.

The tool works in two steps:

1. Edit the project's yarn.lock file to remove existing resolutions for a package.
2. Re-run yarn install to refresh the lockfile and add resolutions for the current versions.

Usage

As an example, suppose your project has indirect dependencies on "foo" and "bar" and you want to update them to the latest compatible versions, you would run:

npm install yarn-update-indirect
yarn-update-indirect foo bar

This will update the "yarn.lock" file in the current working directory.
