Update package.json to get latest packages in SharePoint Framework Solution

Hi Friends,

We are getting constantly updated packages from Microsoft and it's hard to determine what all packages have been published since you created you SharePoint Framework project. So to deal with this problem we can run the below commands and make this hectic task a much simple one.

As we know until the package.json is updated it will not get the latest package no matter how many times you install the packages. So to updates the package.json in the SharePoint Framework solution you just need to run the following commands in your solution

npm install -g npm-check-updates : This will install the npm package globally. Installing it globally will allow the package to be used in all the solution without re-installing it

npm-check-update -u: Checks and updates all the packages in your package.json and updates them with the lates versions. Note this step only updates the package,json with the latest version of the packages referred in the solution

npm install: This will install all the latest packages in the solution.

So with just these three commands you do not worry if there are any latest packages that you need to install in your solution.

npm install -g: Will update the global installed packages with the latest version


Happy Coding

When I started working on this it seems to be an easy job, but if you look into the connectors you'll find it really difficult as there is no straight forwards connector to do the job. Issues encountered If you try using the " Get Folder Metadata " connector, you'll not be able to get the ID of the folder as it is returning as the negative value. If you get the ID somehow and try to update the folder name using the " Update File Properties " connector, you'll end up renaming only the title of the folder, but it will still have the old name as the display name which in case is again a failure. There is no other connector which can be utilized to achieve the task of renaming the folder in a document library directly. Solution The solution is a simple three-step (at least in this example). Step 1: Initialize variables In case you are computing
