I'm struggling to find a way to update all npm packages in one go, some articles suggest that package.json file should be edited where all version numbers need to be changed to * therefore forcing node to grab latest versions, but others state that such method is not considered good. Ideally, I want to find a command line option for this.
One simple step:
$ npx npm-check-updates -u && npm i
This will set all of your packages in package.json to the latest version and apply the updates.
