About:
npm-check-updates is a command-line tool that scans your package.json file and identifies outdated dependencies by comparing them against the npm registry. It provides a detailed report of available updates and can optionally upgrade your package.json to the latest versions. Its main value is automating dependency management, ensuring projects stay current with security patches and new features.
Key Features:
  • Scans package.json for outdated dependencies
  • Provides interactive upgrade prompts
  • Supports filtering by package name or type
  • Can update package.json automatically
  • Includes options for semantic versioning control
Use Cases:
  • Keeping Node.js project dependencies up-to-date
  • Automating dependency updates in CI/CD pipelines
  • Auditing security vulnerabilities via newer package versions
Alternatives:
  • npm outdated – Built-in npm command, but less feature-rich and doesn't auto-update package.json
  • yarn upgrade-interactive – Yarn-specific tool with interactive updates, but limited to Yarn projects
