Use bun outdated to check for outdated dependencies in your project. This command displays a table of dependencies that have newer versions available.

{% bunOutdatedTerminal displayGlob="" filter="" glob="" /%}

Version Information

The output table shows three version columns:

  • Current: The version currently installed
  • Update: The latest version that satisfies your package.json version range
  • Latest: The latest version published to the registry

Dependency Filters

bun outdated supports searching for outdated dependencies by package names and glob patterns.

To check if specific dependencies are outdated, pass the package names as positional arguments:

{% bunOutdatedTerminal displayGlob="eslint-plugin-security eslint-plugin-sonarjs" glob="eslint-plugin-*" /%}

You can also pass glob patterns to check for outdated packages:

{% bunOutdatedTerminal displayGlob="'eslint*'" glob="eslint*" /%}

For example, to check for outdated @types/* packages:

{% bunOutdatedTerminal displayGlob="'@types/'" glob="@types/" /%}

Or to exclude all @types/* packages:

{% bunOutdatedTerminal displayGlob="'!@types/'" glob="!@types/" /%}

Workspace Filters

Use the --filter flag to check for outdated dependencies in a different workspace package:

{% bunOutdatedTerminal glob="t*" filter="@monorepo/types" /%}

You can pass multiple --filter flags to check multiple workspaces:

{% bunOutdatedTerminal glob="{e,t}*" displayGlob="--filter @monorepo/types --filter @monorepo/cli" /%}

You can also pass glob patterns to filter by workspace names:

{% bunOutdatedTerminal glob="{e,t}*" displayGlob="--filter='@monorepo/{types,cli}'" /%}

Catalog Dependencies

bun outdated supports checking catalog dependencies defined in package.json:

$ bun outdated -r
