@public-js/keep-updated

Hassle-free dependency updates

Installing

Add the package to your project by running:

npm i -D @public-js/keep-updated

Add the following array to your package.json:

"keepUpdated": []

Populate the array with desired packages either manually or by running npx @public-js/keep-updated add package1 package2.

Execute it directly:

npx @public-js/keep-updated update --audit-fix

or add the following to your root package.json file:

"scripts": {
  "keep-updated": "keep-updated update --audit-fix"
}

Run npx @public-js/keep-updated --help to find out about other options.

How does it work

The package will identify your preferred manager based on the lock-file, fetch all the dependencies listed in the keepUpdated (or keep-updated) array and install the latest desired versions of the listed packages.

Then all changes, except sorting, made to the package.json will be reverted retaining only lock-file changes.

You might want to include this package as an additional step to your CI pipeline e.g. prior to merging branches into main.
