在NodeJS应用程序中自动更新package.json

Question

I have created the package.json using npm init. After some stage I installed few more modules as per the need.Rather than updating the package.json dependencies manually, is there any way to automatically update it??

Answer 1

If I understand what you are asking correctly, you want to use npm to install a dependency and have that dependency automatically added to your package.json ?

If so, use --save after the package name :

npm install [package name] --save

Answer 2

For download the all packages configured in the package.json , use:

npm update --save
