docs/maintenance/dependency.md
Updating the dependencies is a tedious job. This doc is intended to help streamline the process and make it painless.
There's a sample Update Log at the end of this document. Create a new file where you can dump the Version Diff, Test results, Chrome/Node/npm versions. Mention the dependencies that you had to roll back along with the reason. Optionally you can mention the errors/warnings that you encountered while updating dependencies.
It is recommended that you use Node Version Manager or Node Version Control to switch node versions quickly in order to run and test this project on multiple node versions.
Update npm:
npm install -g npmnpm -v and record npm version in Update Log.Update Chrome
Download the latest version or go to chrome://settings/ and update.
Go to Chrome -> About and record version number in Update Log
npm-check-updates is a great tool to update your dependencies. It will only update your package.json. Run npm install if you want to install updated package versions. There are 3 useful commands.
ncu -u --semverLevel minorncu -u --semverLevel majorncu -uConfirm/adjust eslint-config-airbnb compatible dependency versions
npm info "eslint-config-airbnb@latest" peerDependencies
react-boilerplate does not use "^", "~", etc., and these should be removed from package.json, if present. See #598 for more details.
At this point, you should copy and paste the version diff from the terminal into your Update Log.
Run npm install to install updated versions and then start the example app by running npm start. Make sure that the project is running smoothly. If not, track down the dependencies that are causing problems and try to roll them back one by one and check if the example application is running.
Note down the rolled back dependencies and state the reason in your Update Log.
Most of the errors/warnings would go away once you roll back the problemetic dependencies. But we need to make sure that the internal commands, tools, scaffolding etc. are functional too.
Example App:
rm -rf node_modules && rm package-lock.json
npm install && npm start
Browse example app on development server
deBrowse example app on dev tunnel
Browse example app on Production server
Browse example app offline
Identify problems that occur and try to resolve them by rolling back the respective dependencies. Update the Update Log.
Internal Commands:
npm run clean (Be careful, this will commit all your changes.)npm run generate component TestComp /w defaultsnpm run generate container TestPage /w defaultsimport TestPage from 'containers/TestPage/Loadable';
<Route path="/test" component={TestPage} />
npm start > localhost:3000/testnpm test (expect test failure due to incomplete test coverage)npm run buildnpm run start:prod > localhost:3000/testreact-router was not updated. Thanks to @anuraaga for all his work. Ref- #1746history was not updated because of react-router v3's dependency on it. Should go away when #1746 is merged.react-test-renderer was added as a dev-dependency because enzyme was showing warnings-
A few deprecation warnings were added in React 15.5. This supports the new APIs that React recommends. Ref. #876
