is a CLI tool which checks for npm dependency updates of the current project and optionally updates package.json
. It is highly configurable and is typically able to complete in less than a second.
$ npm i -g updates
Then, check for new updates:

When changes are satisfactory, update package.json
and re-install modules:
$ updates -u && rm -rf node_modules && npm i
