Module for updating outdated NPM modules based on semver specs.
npm install npm-update-outdated 
This module thinly wraps the npm update command with a _--filter_ option in order to update modules matching a string or regex pattern.
By default, npm-update-outdated will update each of your project's node dependencies to the _wanted_ version shown by the npm outdated command.
``
npm install -g npm-update-outdated
`bash`
$ cd /path/to/your/node/project
$ npm-update-outdated [options]
`bash
$ npm-update-outdated --help
Usage: npm-update-outdated [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
--filter
--missing install missing modules
--save pass thru --save option to npm command
--save-dev pass thru --save-dev option to npm command
--save-optional pass thru --save-optional option to npm command
--save-exact pass thru --save-exact option to npm command
--check-only output list of outdated top-level modules
`
Upcoming features include the following:
* Update modules to the "latest" version as specified by npm outdated; This will include per module confirmation, because going to latest could break an application.
If you're considering making use of npm-update-outdated` but it's missing a feature you might like, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.
