| <h1><a href="../cli/npm-outdated.html">npm-outdated</a></h1> <p>Check for outdated packages</p> |
| <h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2> |
| <pre><code>npm outdated [<name> [<name> ...]] |
| </code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| <p>This command will check the registry to see if any (or, specific) installed |
| packages are currently outdated.</p> |
| <p>In the output:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>wanted</code> is the maximum version of the package that satisfies the semver |
| range specified in <code>package.json</code>. If there's no available semver range (i.e. |
| you're running <code>npm outdated --global</code>, or the package isn't included in |
| <code>package.json</code>), then <code>wanted</code> shows the currently-installed version.</li> |
| <li><code>latest</code> is the version of the package tagged as latest in the registry. |
| Running <code>npm publish</code> with no special configuration will publish the package |
| with a dist-tag of <code>latest</code>. 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 <a href="../cli/dist-tag.html">dist-tag(1)</a>.</li> |
| <li><code>location</code> is where in the dependency tree the package is located. Note that |
| <code>npm outdated</code> defaults to a depth of 0, so unless you override that, you'll |
| always be seeing only top-level dependencies that are outdated.</li> |
| <li><code>package type</code> (when using <code>--long</code> / <code>-l</code>) tells you whether this package is |
| a <code>dependency</code> or a <code>devDependency</code>. Packages not included in <code>package.json</code> |
| are always marked <code>dependencies</code>.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h3 id="an-example">An example</h3> |
| <pre><code>$ npm outdated |
| Package Current Wanted Latest Location |
| glob 5.0.15 5.0.15 6.0.1 test-outdated-output |
| nothingness 0.0.3 git git test-outdated-output |
| npm 3.5.1 3.5.2 3.5.1 test-outdated-output |
| local-dev 0.0.3 linked linked test-outdated-output |
| once 1.3.2 1.3.3 1.3.3 test-outdated-output |
| </code></pre><p>With these <code>dependencies</code>:</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-json">{ |
| "glob": "^5.0.15", |
| "nothingness": "github:othiym23/nothingness#master", |
| "npm": "^3.5.1", |
| "once": "^1.3.1" |
| } |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>A few things to note:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>glob</code> requires <code>^5</code>, which prevents npm from installing <code>glob@6</code>, which is |
| outside the semver range.</li> |
| <li>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 <code>npm outdated</code> and |
| <code>npm update</code> 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.</li> |
| <li><code>npm@3.5.2</code> is marked as "wanted", but "latest" is <code>npm@3.5.1</code> because npm |
| uses dist-tags to manage its <code>latest</code> and <code>next</code> release channels. <code>npm update</code> |
| will install the <em>newest</em> version, but <code>npm install npm</code> (with no semver range) |
| will install whatever's tagged as <code>latest</code>.</li> |
| <li><code>once</code> is just plain out of date. Reinstalling <code>node_modules</code> from scratch or |
| running <code>npm update</code> will bring it up to spec.</li> |
| </ul> |
