update-gatsby-dependencies

update-gatsby-dependencies

A package that will primarily help a developer update gatsby v4 dependencies from alpha to beta (but also has support for other minor features)

Usage

go to the directory where the package.json file is and run:

 npx update-gatsby-dependencies

this will output a string you can use to update your alpha packages to beta

Specifying a command

you can also specify an install command but the program defaults to npm i

 npx update-gatsby-dependencies yarn add

adding flags

 npx update-gatsby-dependencies npm i -f

Specifying a package type

you can also specify a package type to look for

PACKAGE_TYPE='Gatsby' npx update-gatsby-dependencies

would look for all gatsby packages that include gatsby in their name

npm i gatsby@next gatsby-awesome-pagination@next gatsby-plugin-image@next

Using custom tags

lastly, you can specify the version tag for every install at once if needed.

GATSBY_VERSION_TAG='apple' npx update-gatsby-dependencies

would produce

npm i gatsby@apple gatsby-awesome-pagination@apple gatsby-plugin-image@apple

Hope this helps!

have fun updating to gatsby 4!
