Updating packages is frequent chore to do so you are always running the latest security patches.

To do that:

Step 1: npx npm-check-updates -u

That updates all the major versions of your packages.

Step 2: Then run npm install to install everything.

Step 3: Finally, run and test.

For my projects, that often breaks code. Major versions of packages often change how configurations/setup works.

But spending some time doing this upkeep will ensure that vulnerabilities will be patched up!
