DEPRECATED: Please use npm-check-updates

I am now a collaborator on npm-check-updates, which has been updated to include all of updatehammer's functionality.

---

Forcefully update all dependencies to latest versions and save to package.json

Install

$ npm install -g updatehammer

Usage

$ updatehammer

Example

Start with some out-of-date packages:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "ansi-styles": "^0.1.2",
    "moment": "^1.7.2"
  }
}


Package      Current  Wanted  Latest  Location
ansi-styles    0.1.2   0.1.2   1.0.0  ansi-styles
moment         1.7.2   1.7.2   2.5.1  moment

Run the updatehammer:

$ updatehammer

npm install ansi-styles@latest --save
ansi-styles@1.0.0 node_modules/ansi-styles

npm install moment@latest --save
moment@2.5.1 node_modules/moment

Successfully installed ansi-styles, moment

Now all our dependencies are at the latest:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "ansi-styles": "^1.0.0",
    "moment": "^2.5.1"
  }
}
