The CLI command ng new creates a package.json file when it creates the new workspace. This is a list of packages in an xml manifest for Chocolatey to install. Both npm and yarn install the packages that are identified in a package.json file.
Npm install latest version of all packages update#
If the update is within the semver filter you have in your package.json, it’s easy to upgrade with npm upgrade, but if you’re in a situation like I found myself in from the above list, there’s a lot of major version upgrades needing to be done, and since they are beyond the allowed semver range it’s a non-starter. PS C:UsersAdministrator> choco install yarn Chocolatey v1.1.0 Installing the following packages: yarn By installing, you accept licenses for the packages. We’ll install Node.js version 14. If you want some more information you can provide the -long flag and get more output, such as whether the package is in the dependencies or devDependencies list: At the time of writing, NodeSource repository provides the following versions: v14.x - The latest stable version. However doing: npm i extract-text-webpack-pluginlatest Will install 1.0.1 I can see the latest version by doing. npm update updates all the packages listed to the latest specified version. If the package has a package-lock or shrinkwrap file, the installation of dependencies will be driven by that, with an npm-shrinkwrap.json taking precedence if both files exist. Finding Outdated Packagesįirst off, how do you know what’s outdated? We can use npm outdated for that and it’ll return something like this: For example at the time of writing the latest version of extract-text-webpack-plugin is 2.0.0-beta.4. npm install installs a package and any packages that it depends on. Ever come back to a project you haven’t touched for a while, only to find out there’s a lot of outdated npm packages that you want to update? This is a situation I occasionally find myself in and I’d never thought of a good way to tackle it.
