更新NPM包

Question

I seem to understand how to clone a repository, but I'm not sure I'm fully grasping how to keep that repository current with what's on Github. I'm using Basscss for example, and I believe my local project is slightly out of date with what's on Github.

I'm trying to update Basscss to the latest version using npm update but even after running that command my package.json file remains the same with the version stuck at "4.2.1".

"name": "basscss",
"version": "4.2.1",
...

Am I doing something wrong here? Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

npm update will update the module's files listed in your project. if you want to update your package.json file with the newer version. use the save option.

npm update --save

---

edit

npm install basscss@latest --save

I would try to re-install latest and save to package file. BTW, your package.json should reference the dep's like this:

"name" : "YOUR_PROJECT",
"version" : "0.0.1",
"dependencies": {
  "basscss": "^4.2.4",
}
