Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

workspace-updater

v1.0.3

Published

A utility to check for outdated dependencies in a pnpm workspace catalog.

Readme

workspace-updater

workspace-updater is a command-line utility for auditing and updating the catalog in your pnpm-workspace.yaml file. It helps you keep your shared workspace dependencies up-to-date by checking them against the npm registry, grouping them by release type (major, minor, patch), and optionally updating them for you.

Why workspace-updater?

Managing shared dependencies in a pnpm workspace catalog can be tedious. workspace-updater automates this process, providing a clear, color-coded overview of what's outdated and giving you fine-grained control over what gets updated.

Features

  • Parallel Dependency Checking: Fetches dependency information in parallel for a fast experience.
  • Color-Coded Output: Outdated dependencies are grouped by major, minor, and patch updates, with distinct colors for each.
  • Automatic Updates: An --update flag lets you automatically update the pnpm-workspace.yaml file.
  • Selective Updating: Combine --update with --major, --minor, or --patch to only update specific release types.
  • Built for Bun: Written in TypeScript and designed to run with the Bun runtime.

Installation

To use workspace-updater in your own pnpm workspace, you can install it as a development dependency:

pnpm add -D workspace-updater

Usage

You can run workspace-updater directly from your terminal using pnpx.

Checking for Outdated Dependencies

To see a list of all outdated dependencies in your catalog, grouped by release type:

pnpx workspace-updater

Updating Dependencies

To automatically update your pnpm-workspace.yaml with all the latest versions:

pnpx workspace-updater --update

Selective Updates

You can also choose to only update certain types of releases.

Update only patch releases:

pnpx workspace-updater --update --patch

Update minor and patch releases:

pnpx workspace-updater --update --minor --patch
