Check how out of date your npm dependencies are

DepChecker

Check how far behind your dependencies are in your project.

Desktop app to help update your package.json.

Features:

• Drag n Drop or navigate to select a package.json file
• remembers last opened package.json
• Checks the versions for each package and how many releases have occurred since your current version
• Tells you how far behind you are in total releases
• Highlights if there are breaking changes
• Links you to the npm page of each project so you can read breaking changes notes
• Lets you modify the package.json to change dependency versions
• If you create a "MainifestComments": [] section in the package.json and add in strings that start with "Pinned x" the "x" dependency will be added to the "skipped" section. Example:

{
  "name": "example",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "ManifestComments": [
    "Pinned jest to 24.9.0. 25.1.0+ is broken on Windows. Waiting for issue #9459 to be resolved.",
    "Pinned vuepress-plugin-live to 1.4.2 because 1.5.3 broke the following examples in the docs:",
    [
      "http://localhost:8080/components/Async.html#call-promise-using-refs",
      "http://localhost:8080/components/Dialog.html#prevent-scrolling",
      "http://localhost:8080/components/Drawer.html#styled-examples"
    ]
  ],
  "dependencies": {},
  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint": "^7.4.0",
    "jest": "24.9.0",
    "vuepress": "^1.5.0",
    "vuepress-plugin-live": "1.4.2"
  }
}

Known bugs:

• Version diffing is pretty rudimentary. For example using x in a version number (1.3.x) will be ignored and the numbers will be off.

Made with Vue.js and NW.js.

Alternatives:

• You can use the built in npm outdated
