Purpose

Manage dependencies safely: audit for vulnerabilities, check for updates, and update with test verification.

Arguments

--check — Check for outdated packages (default if no args)
--audit — Run security audit
--update — Update patch/minor versions with test verification
--update-major — Show available major updates (requires manual review)

Workflow

Check (`--check`)

Run npm outdated
Categorize: patch, minor, major
Report packages with updates available
Flag packages with known issues

Audit (`--audit`)

Run npm audit
Report vulnerabilities by severity (critical, high, moderate, low)
Suggest fixes for critical/high
Check for patches available

Update (`--update`)

Show packages to update (patch + minor only)
Ask for approval
Update packages: npm update
Run tests: npm test
Run build: npm run build
If tests pass, commit changes
If tests fail, rollback and report

Major updates (`--update-major`)

List packages with major updates
Show changelogs/breaking changes (if available)
Recommend update order (dependencies first)
Do not auto-update — requires manual review

For universal safety rules and update priority order, see /shared-deps-safety.

NEAN-specific considerations

Angular updates

# Use Angular CLI for framework updates
ng update @angular/core @angular/cli
ng update @angular/material  # If using

NestJS updates

Check migration guides for major versions
Update @nestjs/* packages together
Test all modules after update

Nx updates

# Use Nx migrate for workspace updates
npx nx migrate latest
npx nx migrate --run-migrations

TypeORM updates

Check migration compatibility
Test all database operations
Review breaking changes in query builder

Output

Check output

Outdated packages:

Patch updates (safe):
  - @types/node: 20.10.0 → 20.10.5
  - class-validator: 0.14.0 → 0.14.1

Minor updates (usually safe):
  - @nestjs/core: 10.3.0 → 10.4.1
  - primeng: 17.15.0 → 17.18.0

Major updates (review required):
  - typescript: 5.4.0 → 5.5.0 ⚠️ Check compatibility
  - @angular/core: 17.3.0 → 18.0.0 ⚠️ Major version

Audit output

Security audit:

Critical: 0
High: 1
  - axios <1.6.0 (SSRF vulnerability)
    Fix: npm update axios
Moderate: 2
Low: 3

Run `npm audit fix` to auto-fix where possible.
