nodejs将package.json中的依赖项从最新版本更新为已使用版本

Question

I created an app using MEAN stack.

It has a lot of dependencies in package.json app. Here is an Eg of My package.json file :

{
  "name": "myapp",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "myapp",
  "main": "server.js",
  "author": {
    "name": "sayed",
    "email": ""
  },"dependencies": {
    "body-parser": "latest",
    "compression": "latest",
    "ejs": "^2.4.2",
    "express": "latest",
    "jsonwebtoken": "^7.0.0",
    "method-override": "latest",
    "mongodb": "^2.1.20",
    "morgan": "latest",
      "crypto": "latest"
  }
}

Now I am deploying my app to a production server & to avoid issues, I want to keep the same version in the dependencies from which I developed.

So I need a way to convert "latest" to a specific version from which I developed my app. Is there any command to do so ? or I have to manually change the dependencies ?

Answer 1

When I deleted my node_modules dir

npm update --save

worked for me updating dependencies versions in package.json
