Automation with npm-check-updates or yarn-upgrade-all
You also have npm-check-updates or yarn-upgrade-all commands that helps you to automate dependency updates, but they does not always handle nested dependency conflicts perfectly. Depending upon the package you are using you can automatically update all your project dependency to the latest versions.
How to override nested NPM dependency versions?
In projects the packages download and used using npm are called dependency and each dependencies can have their own nested dependencies that also gets downloaded. These nested dependency creates conflicts due to the presence of multiple version of the same dependency. This will lead to issues like compatibility, security vulnerabilities, and unexpected behavior.
To solve that we got multiple ways such as overrides property in package.json file, npm-force-resolutions, npm dedupe, npm-check-updates or yarn-upgrade-all.
