Want to update nested dependency in npm package

Question

I have 'request' npm package which is deprecated and being installed by another npm package as a dependency. Now I would like to update the dependencies of request package. I tried every possible way but, didn't find the solution.

Here's the dependency tree which i have to update the last one i.e. uuid:

`-- [email protected]
  `-- [email protected]
    `-- [email protected]
      `-- [email protected]

2.88.2 is the latest version of request, and 3.4.0 is the latest version of uuid that meets its requirements: https://github.com/request/request/blob/3c0cddc7c8eb60b470e9519da85896ed7ee0081e/package.json#L49. — jonrsharpe, Jun 29 '21 at 08:09

NPM packages are built to work with a certain version (or version set) of their dependencies. If you update uuid to a later version, you might run into unexpected issues with request. Updating a dependency of one of your dependencies explicitly is not supported or recommended therefore.

As a workaround add `request` and `uuid` packages to direct dependencies and override `"request": { "uuid": "$uuid" }},` version – AlfeG Feb 19 '23 at 09:07
