npm-check is a Node.js CLI tool that checks npm projects for outdated, incorrect, and unused dependencies. It offers an interactive update mode and works with global packages, scoped packages, and private registries.
Use cases
- find outdated npm dependencies in a project
- detect unused dependencies in package.json
- interactively update npm packages
- audit global npm packages for updates
- check dependency versions in CI
When to choose
- you maintain an npm-based JavaScript project and want a friendly dependency audit
- you want interactive updating with links to package docs
- you need a non-zero exit code for CI dependency checks
When to avoid
- you use Yarn or pnpm lockfiles exclusively and prefer their native tooling
- you need automated security vulnerability scanning rather than staleness checks
