Auto Package Updater is a command-line tool that automates the process of updating npm packages within the package.json file. It updates both dependencies and dev dependencies to their latest versions.
To run the Auto Package Updater, use the following command:
npx npm-auto-packages-updater path-to-package.json [excludeDev]
You can optionally pass the excludeDev arguement to skip updating the dev dependencies.
Auto Package Updater can be used directly using npx, without the need for a separate installation step.
Update packages in a specific directory:
npx npm-auto-packages-updater ./path-to-package.json
Exclude dev dependencies:
npx npm-auto-packages-updater ./path-to-package.json excludeDev
The tool only updates the version numbers in the package.json file; it does not install or uninstall any packages.
It is recommended to review the changes made by the tool and test your application thoroughly after updating packages.
