I’ll introduce the procedure for updating all npm module versions listed in package.json to the latest and running npm update in Node.js.

Install npm-check-updates

The npm-check-updates module can update packages listed in package.json to their latest versions, so first install this.

• tjunnone/npm-check-updates: Find newer versions of package dependencies than what your package.json or bower.json allows

npm install -g npm-check-updates

Update package.json using npm-check-updates

To update package.json using the installed npm-check-updates, run it with the —upgrade or -u option.

npm-check-updates --upgrade

# ncu is an alias command for npm-check-updates
ncu -u 

Additionally, to include minor version updates as targets, run with the —upgradeAll or -a option to include middle version and minor version changes as npm update targets.

npm-check-updates --upgradeAll

# alias ver
ncu -a

That’s the method for updating node modules listed in package.json to their latest versions using npm-check-updates.
