.SS "Description"
.P
This command will check the registry to see if any (or, specific) installed packages are currently outdated.
.P
By default, only the direct dependencies of the root project and direct dependencies of your configured \fIworkspaces\fR are shown. Use \fB--all\fR to find all outdated meta-dependencies as well.
.P
In the output:
.RS 0
.IP \(bu 4
\fBwanted\fR is the maximum version of the package that satisfies the semver range specified in \fBpackage.json\fR. If there's no available semver range (i.e. you're running \fBnpm outdated --global\fR, or the package isn't included in \fBpackage.json\fR), then \fBwanted\fR shows the currently-installed version.
.IP \(bu 4
\fBlatest\fR is the version of the package tagged as latest in the registry. Running \fBnpm publish\fR with no special configuration will publish the package with a dist-tag of \fBlatest\fR. This may or may not be the maximum version of the package, or the most-recently published version of the package, depending on how the package's developer manages the latest npm help dist-tag.
.IP \(bu 4
\fBlocation\fR is where in the physical tree the package is located.
.IP \(bu 4
\fBdepended by\fR shows which package depends on the displayed dependency
.IP \(bu 4
\fBpackage type\fR (when using \fB--long\fR / \fB-l\fR) tells you whether this package is a \fBdependency\fR or a dev/peer/optional dependency. Packages not included in \fBpackage.json\fR are always marked \fBdependencies\fR.
.IP \(bu 4
\fBhomepage\fR (when using \fB--long\fR / \fB-l\fR) is the \fBhomepage\fR value contained in the package's packument
.IP \(bu 4
Red means there's a newer version matching your semver requirements, so you should update now.
.IP \(bu 4
Yellow indicates that there's a newer version \fIabove\fR your semver requirements (usually new major, or new 0.x minor) so proceed with caution.

A few things to note:
.RS 0
.IP \(bu 4
\fBglob\fR requires \fB^5\fR, which prevents npm from installing \fBglob@6\fR, which is outside the semver range.
.IP \(bu 4
Git dependencies will always be reinstalled, because of how they're specified. The installed committish might satisfy the dependency specifier (if it's something immutable, like a commit SHA), or it might not, so \fBnpm outdated\fR and \fBnpm update\fR have to fetch Git repos to check. This is why currently doing a reinstall of a Git dependency always forces a new clone and install.
.IP \(bu 4
\fBnpm@3.5.2\fR is marked as "wanted", but "latest" is \fBnpm@3.5.1\fR because npm uses dist-tags to manage its \fBlatest\fR and \fBnext\fR release channels. \fBnpm update\fR will install the \fInewest\fR version, but \fBnpm install npm\fR (with no semver range) will install whatever's tagged as \fBlatest\fR.
.IP \(bu 4
\fBonce\fR is just plain out of date. Reinstalling \fBnode_modules\fR from scratch or running \fBnpm update\fR will bring it up to spec.

When running \fBnpm outdated\fR and \fBnpm ls\fR, setting \fB--all\fR will show all outdated or installed packages, rather than only those directly depended upon by the current project.

Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the \fBprefix\fR folder instead of the current working directory. See npm help folders for more on the differences in behavior.

Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all workspaces within that folder)
.RE 0

When set for the \fBnpm init\fR command, this may be set to the folder of a workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a brand new workspace within the project.
