How to update each dependency in package.json to the latest version?

Question

I copied package.json from another project and now want to bump all of the dependencies to their latest versions since this is a fresh project and I don\'t mind

Answer 1

The above commands are unsafe because you might break your module when switching versions. Instead I recommend the following

• Set actual current node modules version into package.json using npm shrinkwrap command.
• Update each dependency to the latest version IF IT DOES NOT BREAK YOUR TESTS using https://github.com/bahmutov/next-update command line tool

npm install -g next-update
// from your package
next-update
