I want to update npm packages in a Firebase project. However I am lost about the fixed versions in packages.json. I guess they are there for a reason, but I have no idea why they are there now. Maybe I installed them to get around a bug? Or, is it perhaps something handled another way behind my back?
For example if I run npm outdated I found this (and 7 more):
@google-cloud/storage 1.7.0 1.7.0 3.2.1 functions
And in packages.json then of course this:
"@google-cloud/storage": "^1.7.0",
Can I just replace it with this and run npm update:
"@google-cloud/storage": "*",
The package.json contains the packages that you installed and the version of these packages.
To update do the following:
npm install firebase-functions@latest firebase-admin@latest --save
npm install @google-cloud/storage@latest --save
