Angular 6 updating outdated dependencies in package.json

Question

I'm working with the newest version of Angular (6) and I was trying to update my package.json dependencies.

Is it valid to use npm update command to update all dependencies or are there some other methods more secure and affidable?

Running npm outdated I can see that there are so many dependencies to be updated!

Can someone give to me a full explanation regarding this task?

Thanks guys, good coding :D
