UPD

Upgrade NPM Package Dependencies

Abstract

This is a small Command-Line Interface (CLI) for upgrading the JavaScript package dependencies in an Node Package Manager (NPM) package.json configuration file while strictly preserving the formatting of the existing JSON syntax and intentionally skipping version constraint formulas.

Example

Installation

$ npm install -g upd

$ upd [-h] [-V] [-q] [-n] [-C] [-f <file>] [-g] [-a] [-c <concurrency>] [<pattern> ...]

• -h, --help Show usage help.
• -V, --version Show program version information.
• -q, --quiet Quiet operation (do not output upgrade information).
• -n, --nop No operation (do not modify package configuration file).
• -C, --noColor Do not use any colors in output.
• -f <file>, --file <file> Package configuration to use ("package.json").
• -g, --greatest Use greatest version (instead of latest stable one).
• -a, --all Show all packages (instead of just updated ones).
• -c <concurrency>, --concurrency <concurrency> Number of concurrent network connections to NPM registry.
• <pattern> Positive or negative (if prefixed with !) Glob pattern for matching names of dependencies to update.
