package-check — VS Code extension

Package Check is a Visual Studio Code extension that detects available updates for dependencies declared in package.json and pnpm-workspace.yaml (catalogs), provides inline update tags, and offers quick fixes for safe upgrades.

Features

• Visual inline tags showing available updates with three severity levels:
  • Major (red) — major version bump
  • Minor (orange) — minor version bump
  • Patch (green) — patch update
• Catalog-aware rendering for catalog: entries — catalog tags are visually separated and do not provide Quick Fixes (since catalog updates are managed in the workspace file).
• Quick Fix code actions for non-catalog dependencies with three options:
  • ^ (lock major) — allows minor and patch updates
  • ~ (lock minor) — allows patch updates only
  • exact — locks to exact version
• Uses fast-npm-meta to fetch registry metadata and supports caching for performance.

Usage

• Open a package.json or pnpm-workspace.yaml file. If updates are available, tags are shown next to dependency version fields. Use the Code Action (lightbulb) on a dependency to apply updates.
