JarCastingupdates
updates is a CLI tool which checks for npm dependency updates of the current project and optionally updates package.json. It is highly configurable and is typically able to complete in less than a second.
Usage
# install globally
npm i -g updates
# or install locally as a devDependency and run via `npx updates`
npm i -D updates
Then, check for new updates:
updates
When changes are satisfactory, update package.json and reinstall modules:
updates -u && npm i
To only reinstall modules when updates are available:
updates -uU && npm i
On a CI, it might be desireable to fail a build when updates are available:
updates -E

See --help or below for the available options. Option that take multiple arguments can take them either via comma-separated value or by specifying the option multiple times. If an option has a optional pkg argument but none is given, the option will be applied to all packages instead.
