Check and update package dependencies.
Yet another dependency checker / updater...
This one supports:
- public / private npm repository
- local tgz packages
- tagged git versions on github/ gitlab/ bitbucket (e.g. uWebSockets.js)
- ignore updates using
c4uIgnoreinpackage.json
For other similar tools see:
npm outdated- npm-check
- npm-check-updates
npm install --global check4updatesadd a c4uIgnore field in the package.json file, like:
{ ...
"c4uIgnore": {
"<package-name>": "<allowed-range>[ // optional comment]"
}
}
e.g.
{
"name": "my-package",
"dependecies": {
"chalk": "^4.0.0"
},
"c4uIgnore": {
"chalk": "^4 // do not upgrade; ^5 is ESM only support"
}
}c4u [options] [package ...]
