ncu-walk

Generate a fake package.json with dependencies for all packages in node_modules

Install ncu-walk

This utility requires node.js 8 or above.

npm i -g ncu-walk

Usage

From a location where **/node_modules exists run the following:

ncu-walk | ncu

ncu-walk treats all installed modules as dependencies, prints to console data resembling package.json with enough information for [ncu] to check all installed versions. Without arguments ncu-walk will find the newest version of all installed packages. This can be changed by running ncu-walk --oldest | ncu to report based on the oldest versions found.

It is not possible to use an option to ignore devDependencies with ncu-walk. To do this you must first run npm prune --only=prod to uninstall devDependencies.
