pjson-versionizer

Sets the versions of all dependencies in the package.json to match the versions of the installed dependencies located in the node_modules.

Installation

npm i -g pjson-versionizer

Usage

pjv [options]

Options:

  -h, --help         output usage information
  -V, --version      output the version number
  --ddeps            Only sets development dependencies
  --deps             Only sets production dependencies
  --prefix [semver]  Semver prefix for all dependencies
  --dry              Only logs to console

Motivation

Use case for me were scenarios in which npm-check-update didn't work. For example if you were trying to update the package.json to replace all asterisks * with the actual version:

dependencies: {
    "a": "*"
}

becomes

dependencies: {
   "a": "^1.0.0"
}

Also it is useful to update the version to the latest installed made available by semver, e.g. ^1.0.0 to ^1.1.0. Or to set the semver of all packages via the prefix flag.
