freshness

exit(1) if there is any outdated package

npm outdated as a test

if there is any outdated package in your package.json, it should be an error to keep your dependencies up to date. This freshness command helps you to check them and notice you by falling a command if you are using an old package in your package.json. If you'd like to manage by automated pull-requests, you should try greenkeeper.

getting started

install the package via npm install

$ npm install --save-dev freshness

add a run-script to your package.json:

{
 "test": "freshness"
}

you may specify packages to ignore by passing the --ignore parameter like so:

run it

$ npm test
