I have the following dependencies in my project:

"dependencies": {
    "discord.io": "^2.5.3",
    "discord.js": "^12.5.3",
    "ms": "^2.1.3",
    "node-localstorage": "^2.2.1",
    "winston": "^3.3.3",
    "xmlhttprequest": "^1.8.0"
}

I wanted to upgrade these to the latest version, but if I use npm update the symbol ^ prevents for example the package discord.js to update to the version 13.1.0. I want to ignore that symbol and force it to upgrade to the latest version.

I solved this problem by removing the package from the package.json, running npm i and then reinstalling the dependency. Is there any other possibility to do this automatically for all dependencies?

What exactly are you running in the console? – MrMythical Sep 05 '21 at 03:17
I tried `npm update`, `npm update discord.js@latest` and `npm update [email protected]`, but nothing worked – flotho Sep 05 '21 at 08:44
