I've inherited a react/node/prismic application that uses shrinkwrap, and we need to update the prismic-reactjs package. That package requires higher versions of react and webpack, so I updated those in package.json too, and based on some npm dependency reading I've been roughly following these steps:
rm -fr node_modules
npm uninstall [package_name]
npm prune
npm cache clean
npm install [package_name]
npm shrinkwrap (to check missing dependencies)
npm install
npm shrinkwrap
That last shrinkwrap step shows the remaining "npm ERR! peer invalid:" statements, so I've been working my way top to the bottom of the list, and I'm now down to only three of them:
npm ERR! peer invalid: webpack@^3.1.0, required by [email protected]
npm ERR! peer invalid: react@^15.6.1, required by [email protected]
npm ERR! peer invalid: react@^15, required by [email protected]
Uh oh- it looks like those peer dependencies need the older versions I'd had for webpack (I updated 3.12.0 -> 4.0.0) and react (I updated 15.6.1 -> 16.0.0).
Of those 3 other packages, one is deprecated so I can't upgrade it if I tried. I could try updating the other 2, but I'm not sure if this is yak shaving- is there a better way forward? Is it possible to have both/conflicting packages in use?
