description: Check for outdated packages
|
|

|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm outdated [[<@scope>/]<pkg> ...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
This command will check the registry to see if any (or, specific) installed
|
|
packages are currently outdated.
|
|
|
|
In the output:
|
|
|
|
* `wanted` is the maximum version of the package that satisfies the semver
|
|
range specified in `package.json`. If there's no available semver range (i.e.
|
|
you're running `npm outdated --global`, or the package isn't included in
|
|
`package.json`), then `wanted` shows the currently-installed version.
|
|
* `latest` is the version of the package tagged as latest in the registry.
|
|
Running `npm publish` with no special configuration will publish the package
|
|
with a dist-tag of `latest`. This may or may not be the maximum version of
|
|
the package, or the most-recently published version of the package, depending
|
|
on how the package's developer manages the latest [dist-tag](npm-dist-tag).
|
|
* `location` is where in the physical tree the package is located.
|
|
* `depended by` shows which package depends on the displayed dependency
|
|
* `package type` (when using `--long` / `-l`) tells you whether this package is
|
|
a `dependency` or a dev/peer/optional dependency. Packages not included in `package.json`
|
|
are always marked `dependencies`.
|
|
* `homepage` (when using `--long` / `-l`) is the `homepage` value contained in the package's packument
|
|
* Red means there's a newer version matching your semver requirements, so you should update now.
|
|
* Yellow indicates that there's a newer version above your semver requirements (usually new major, or new 0.x minor) so proceed with caution.
|
|
|
|
### An example
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm outdated
|
|
Package Current Wanted Latest Location Depended by
|
|
glob 5.0.15 5.0.15 6.0.1 node_modules/glob dependent-package-name
|
|
nothingness 0.0.3 git git node_modules/nothingness dependent-package-name
|
|
npm 3.5.1 3.5.2 3.5.1 node_modules/npm dependent-package-name
|
|
local-dev 0.0.3 linked linked local-dev dependent-package-name
|
|
once 1.3.2 1.3.3 1.3.3 node_modules/once dependent-package-name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With these `dependencies`:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"glob": "^5.0.15",
|
|
"nothingness": "github:othiym23/nothingness#master",
|
|
"npm": "^3.5.1",
|
|
"once": "^1.3.1"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A few things to note:
|
|
|
|
* `glob` requires `^5`, which prevents npm from installing `glob@6`, which is
|
|
outside the semver range.
|
|
* Git dependencies will always be reinstalled, because of how they're specified.
|
|
The installed committish might satisfy the dependency specifier (if it's
|
|
something immutable, like a commit SHA), or it might not, so `npm outdated` and
|
|
`npm update` have to fetch Git repos to check. This is why currently doing a
|
|
reinstall of a Git dependency always forces a new clone and install.
|
|
* `npm@3.5.2` is marked as "wanted", but "latest" is `npm@3.5.1` because npm
|
|
uses dist-tags to manage its `latest` and `next` release channels. `npm update`
|
|
will install the _newest_ version, but `npm install npm` (with no semver range)
|
|
will install whatever's tagged as `latest`.
|
|
* `once` is just plain out of date. Reinstalling `node_modules` from scratch or
|
|
running `npm update` will bring it up to spec.
|
|
|
