pnpm update
Aliases: up, upgrade
pnpm update updates packages to their latest version based on the specified
range.
When used without arguments, updates all dependencies.
TL;DR
| Command | Meaning |
|---|---|
pnpm up | Updates all dependencies, adhering to ranges specified in package.json |
pnpm up --latest | Updates all dependencies, ignoring ranges specified in package.json |
pnpm up foo@2 | Updates foo to the latest version on v2 |
pnpm up "@babel/*" | Updates all dependencies under the @babel scope |
Selecting dependencies with patterns
You can use patterns to update specific dependencies.
Update all babel packages:
pnpm update "@babel/*"
Update all dependencies, except webpack:
pnpm update !webpack
Patterns may also be combined, so the next command will update all babel packages, except core:
pnpm update "@babel/*" !@babel/core
Options
--recursive, -r
Concurrently runs update in all subdirectories with a package.json (excluding
node_modules).
Usage examples:
pnpm --recursive update
# updates all packages up to 100 subdirectories in depth
pnpm --recursive update --depth 100
# update typescript to the latest version in every package
pnpm --recursive update typescript@latest
--latest, -L
Ignores the version range specified in package.json. Instead, the version specified by the latest tag will be used (potentially upgrading the packages across major versions).
--global, -g
Update global packages.
--workspace
Tries to link all packages from the workspace. Versions are updated to match the versions of packages inside the workspace.
If specific packages are updated, the command will fail if any of the updated
dependencies are not found inside the workspace. For instance, the following
command fails if express is not a workspace package:
pnpm up -r --workspace express
--prod, -P
Only update packages in dependencies and optionalDependencies.
--dev, -D
Only update packages in devDependencies.
--no-optional
Don't update packages in optionalDependencies.
--interactive, -i
Show outdated dependencies and select which ones to update.
