I am feeling really scared of upgrading so many packages at once, Any tips?

• npm-check

  11 6,543 8.1 JavaScript

  Check for outdated, incorrect, and unused dependencies.

What I do; - run https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-check with the -u command - select all libs that are relatively safe (minor, patch upgrades) and that are unrelated - upgrade those first and check the app; run it and prod build plus any tests you might have - commit; this is your save point - then upgrade clusters; sets of dependencies that are related (I.e. all test dependencies in one go, all webpack, or all react dependencies in one go) - build, run, test and save again. - Repeat previous two steps until done. - if some dependency requires a major change through the whole app; skip it / revert and safe for another day. Upgrading is sometimes as much about information gathering as it is about upgrading.

• renovate

  Universal dependency automation tool.

  

Use something like Renovate (https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate) and update them a little by a little. Have fun! 🍀
