13,253 PointsUpdating an individual package
Hi guys,
I notice that Andrew uses the npm outdated
command to check which packages are outdated. When npm update
is ran, is this going to update all packages in the package.json file? If so, how would we update one individual package? Would it merely be a case of adding the package name after the npm update
command? For example:
npm update [packageNameHere]
Thanks, James.

Yes, it will update all dependencies listed in the package.json file.
Would it merely be a case of adding the package name after the npm update command?
Yes, the example command you provide is entirely valid, if you specify a name then npm will only update that specific package.
