Specific Angular Upgrade

[JosephLteif]

• I have searched for similar issues
• I am using the latest version of npm-check-updates
• I am using node >= 14.14

Current Behavior

I want to angular version to latest of 16 and all my other dependencies respecting constraints with angular version 16.
I tried upgrading only angular to 16 then upgrading all the others while excluding angular (thinking it will resort to only package versions that are compatble with angular 16) but this wasn't the case, (used --peer).
It gave me the latest version of all the dependencies other than angular (Because it got excluded)

Expected Behavior

A way to specify specific version of dependencies to have (Mainly angular version) and have all other dependencies resort to the latest compatible version available to them while respecting other constraints

Hi, thanks for reporting. Please provide a sample package.json so that I can be sure I am running npm-check-updates on the same packages as you.

This is a sample of a package.json file that I am using

I tried it out on an abbreviated package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^9.1.0",
    "@angular/common": "^9.1.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "^9.1.0",
    "@angular/core": "^9.1.0",
    "@angular/router": "^9.1.0",
    "ag-grid-angular": "^23.0.3",
    "ag-grid-community": "^23.0.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular/cli": "^16.2.10",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "^9.1.0"
  }
}

I manually updated @angular/cli to v16 and then ran ncu -x "@angular/cli". This gives the unconstrained updates.

Running ncu --peer -x "@angular/cli" gives the following:

It constrains some of the versions, but strangely not all of them. It tries to upgrade @angular/animations to v17, even though it clearly has a peerDependency of @angular/core v17.

I didn't build the --peer feature and I don't have time to maintain it unfortunately. However I am happy to support a PR.
