npm update，只能按照package.json中標注的版本號進行更新，升級后不會修改package.json中的版本號，需要自己手動修改，比較麻煩。
npm-check-updates 升級插件升級后會自動修改package.json里的版本號，簡單方便。
安裝
npm install -g npm-check-updates
使用
1.輸入ncu命令檢查包最新版本
$ ncu Checking package.json [====================] 5/5 100% express 4.12.x → 4.13.x multer ^0.1.8 → ^1.0.1 react-bootstrap ^0.22.6 → ^0.24.0 react-a11y ^0.1.1 → ^0.2.6 webpack ~1.9.10 → ~1.10.5 Run ncu -u to upgrade package.json
2.根據提示輸入ncu -u更新package.json，然后根據提示輸入npm install安裝新版本即可
$ ncu -u Upgrading package.json [====================] 1/1 100% express 4.12.x → 4.13.x Run npm install to install new versions.
3.更新全局包
$ ncu -g
4.--filter 和 --reject選項，分別可用來包含和忽略指定包
# match mocha and should packages exactly $ ncu mocha # shorthand for ncu -f mocha (or --filter) $ ncu one, two, three # exclude packages $ ncu -x nodemon # shorthand for ncu --reject nodemon # match packages that start with "gulp-" using regex $ ncu "/^gulp-.*$/" # match packages that do not start with "gulp-". $ ncu '/^(?!gulp-).*$/' # mac/linux $ ncu "/^(?!gulp-).*$/" # windows
其他選項：
--configFilePath rc config file path (default: directory of `packageFile` or ./ otherwise) --configFileName rc config file name (default: .ncurc.{json,yml,js}) --cwd Used as current working directory for `spawn` in npm listing --dep check only a specific section(s) of dependencies: prod|dev|peer|optional|bundle (comma-delimited) --engines-node include only packages that satisfy engines.node as specified in the package file -e, --error-level set the error-level. 1: exits with error code 0 if no errors occur. 2: exits with error code 0 if no packages need updating (useful for continuous integration) -f, --filter include only package names matching the given string, comma-or-space-delimited list, or /regex/ -g, --global check global packages instead of in the current project -i, --interactive Enable interactive prompts for each dependency; Implies -u unless one of the json options are set -j, --jsonAll output new package file instead of human-readable message --jsonDeps Will return output like `jsonAll` but only lists `dependencies`, `devDependencies`, and `optionalDependencies` of the new package data. --jsonUpgraded output upgraded dependencies in json -l, --loglevel what level of logs to report: silent, error, warn, info, verbose, silly (default: warn) -m, --minimal do not upgrade to newer versions that are already satisfied by the existing version range (v2 behavior). -n, --newest find the newest published versions available instead of the latest stable versions -p, --packageManager npm or bower (default: npm) --packageData include stringified package file (use stdin instead) --packageFile package file location (default: ./package.json) --pre include -alpha, -beta, -rc. Default: 0. Default with --newest and --greatest: 1. --prefix Used as current working directory in bower and npm -r, --registry specify third-party NPM registry --removeRange remove version ranges from the final package version -s, --silent don't output anything (--loglevel silent) --semverLevel find the highest version within "major" or "minor" -t, --greatest find the highest versions available instead of the latest stable versions --timeout a global timeout in ms -u, --upgrade overwrite package file -v, --version get version -V get version -x, --reject exclude packages matching the given string, comma- delimited list, or regex
5.配置文件.ncurc.{json,yml,js}，在命令行中可使用--configFileName、 --configFilePath指定配置文件
.ncurc.json:
{ "upgrade": true, "filter": "express", "reject": [ "@types/estree", "ts-node" ] }
6.模塊中使用
const ncu = require('npm-check-updates');
ncu.run({
// Any command-line option can be specified here.
// These are set by default:
jsonUpgraded: true,
packageManager: 'npm',
silent: true
}).then((upgraded) => {
console.log('dependencies to upgrade:', upgraded);
});
