Compare current package.json dependency version numbers with latest remote version number.
npm install npm-dview
npm-dview is a command line tool for comparing a package.json file's dependency version
numbers with the latest remote version number.
It compares both "dependencies" and/or "devDependencies".
It accomplishes this by calling "npm view MODULE_NAME version" for each dependency listed
in your package.json file.
Install the command line tool globally by running:
npm install -g npm-dview
Usage: npm-dview [options]
-h, --help output usage information
-v, --version output the version number
--dep Show regular dependencies
--dev Show development dependencies
--peer Show peer dependencies
--update Update the package.json file with remote version numbers
--hideLocal Hide dependencies which local copy same as requestedVersion
--excludeCurrent Exclude up-to-date packages from the output
--output [type] Specify the output type [table,json]
--outputFile
--file
