I’m looking for efficient methods to update npm and Node in a large Angular project. Can anyone share their strategies, schedules, and resource recommendations?
In my experience managing npm dependencies for large-scale Angular projects, I rely on a disciplined update routine combined with automated testing. I frequently incorporate tools like npm-check-updates to help identify new versions as they become available and then verify these changes in a controlled environment before merging. It is also essential to separate production dependencies from development ones and update them carefully. Making use of continuous integration pipelines to automatically run tests after each dependency upgrade helps maintain overall stability and quickly isolates potential issues.
i’ve found scheduling regular check-ins for npm updates combined with change log reviews prevents nasty surprizes. relying on auto pr tools and cautious upgrade of major dependencies saved me lots of hassle. hope that helps!
