Update npm package with fixed dependency from command line

Question

I have a npm package with a fixed version that has an update.
Example package.json extract:

devDependencies: {
   "someFixedVersionPackage": "1.0.0", //1.1.0 is latest
   "anotherFixedVersionPackage": "2.3.2", //2.3.4 is latest
}

Is there an npm command that installs the latest version of this package and updates package.json, preferably all packages at the same time?

To be clear, I want the above package.json snippet to be updated before this, in addition to updatable packages:

devDependencies: {
   "someFixedVersionPackage": "1.1.0", //latest
   "anotherFixedVersionPackage": "2.3.4", //latest
}

Thank.

Answer 3

Running the following command will do what you want:

npm install someFixedVersionPackage@latest anotherFixedVersionPackage@latest --save-dev --save-exact

Structure:

• npm install someFixedVersionPackage@latest install the latest package
• The flag --save-devwill force it to update the version inpackage.json devDependencies
• The flag --save-exactwill force it to keep the fixed version instead of the semver range operator
