npm-check: Update everything without prompting.
$ npm-check --update-all
try on your machine

The command "npm-check --update-all" is used to update all outdated packages in a Node.js project.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "npm-check" refers to the command-line tool called "npm-check," which is used for checking the outdated packages in a Node.js project.
  • "--update-all" is a flag that is passed to the npm-check command. It instructs the tool to update all the outdated packages to their latest versions.

When you run this command in your terminal or command prompt within your Node.js project's directory, the npm-check tool will analyze your project's dependencies and display a list of outdated packages. It will then prompt you to choose whether you want to update all the outdated packages or selectively update them.

If you select to update all the outdated packages, npm-check will automatically try to update each package to the latest available version. However, keep in mind that updating packages might introduce breaking changes or compatibility issues, so it is recommended to thoroughly test your application after performing such updates.
