npm-check-updates VS npkill

I highly suggest taking a look at the documentation overall to learn more about all this package has to offer. The project is well-maintained along with a climbing weekly download rate of ~323,861 at the time of writing this article.

If you want to update all the packages to their latest available version in one go, then you can use the package npm-check-updates as follows:

npm-check-updates

Since you're upgrading one part of a legacy project, why not update all the other dependencies. The best way to do that is with the npm-check-updates package.

As per this stakoverflow thread, to update dependencies in package.json to latest versions, npm-check-updates is the Best Option for npm. However, I'm using yarn for package management. Is there an equivalent of npm-check-updates in yarn. So that, I use a single package manager to manage my dependencies.

I've been using ncu for years, literally.

People say reinstalling NPM can fix it https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates/issues/256

Npkill is a simple command launchable via npx that scans your disk looking for all node_modules folders, tells you how much space they occupy, and allows you to choose which ones to delete.

This is simply not true. Performance here is objectively bad since the payload is quite large. Also, I would comment that the DX with Blazor is not very good overall. For all the things broken with JS UI dev these days, DX with hot module reload is quite a marvel that I wish more platforms could achieve (C# kinda has it).

My team recently did a large browser extension project and ended up using jQuery and web components. One of the younger devs made a humorous comment like "Why does this feel kinda nice?" (paraphrase).

But yes, overall, the pain is very real. A recent pass with npkll[1] freed 20+ GB of disk space....

I initially created Npkill (https://npkill.js.org) for my own use because as a web developer I was always running out of disk space. When we launched it quickly became popular because it seems that not only we had that problem and today it is the most popular tool for that purpose.

Another one I launched was Pill Reminder (https://zaldih.github.io/pill-reminder/). If you are taking something for a cold or medical treatment it allows you to easily swipe and note down when you have taken your medication and lets you know when you are due to take it next.

ScrollTabs (https://github.com/zaldih/scrolltabs-extension) was born so soon after I migrated from chrome to firefox years ago and I missed being able to switch between tabs with the mouse scroll.

+ many others that I would like to prepare and make public for the future.

Just delete them after you are done, you can try https://www.npmjs.com/package/npkill
