- <h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
- <pre><code>npm outdated [[<@scope>/]<pkg> ...]</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- packages are currently outdated.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npm outdated --global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npm outdated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- always be seeing only top-level dependencies that are outdated.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>
- <li>Red means there's a newer version matching your semver requirements, so you should update now.</li>
- <li>Yellow indicates that there's a newer version above your semver requirements (usually new major, or new 0.x minor) so proceed with caution.</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$ npm outdated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- glob 5.0.15 5.0.15 6.0.1 test-outdated-output
- nothingness 0.0.3 git git test-outdated-output
- npm 3.5.1 3.5.2 3.5.1 test-outdated-output
- local-dev 0.0.3 linked linked test-outdated-output
- once 1.3.2 1.3.3 1.3.3 test-outdated-output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="language-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><a href="mailto:%60npm@3.5.2">`npm@3.5.2</a><code>is marked as "wanted", but "latest" is</code><a href="mailto:npm@3.5.1">npm@3.5.1</a><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 _newest_ version, but</code>npm install npm<code>(with no semver range)
- will install whatever's tagged as</code>latest`.</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>
