bun outdated

Use bun outdated to check for outdated dependencies in your project.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

terminal

bun outdated

| Package                        | Current | Update    | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | --------- | ---------- |
| @sinclair/typebox              | 0.34.15 | 0.34.16   | 0.34.16    |
| @types/bun (dev)               | 1.3.0   | 1.3.3     | 1.3.3      |
| eslint (dev)                   | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1    | 9.20.0     |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1     | 3.0.1      |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0    | 3.0.1      |
| expect-type (dev)              | 0.16.0  | 0.16.0    | 1.1.0      |
| prettier (dev)                 | 3.4.2   | 3.5.0     | 3.5.0      |
| tsup (dev)                     | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6     | 8.3.6      |
| typescript (dev)               | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3     | 5.7.3      |

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bun outdated supports searching for outdated dependencies by package names and glob patterns. To check if specific dependencies are outdated, pass the package names as positional arguments:

terminal

bun outdated eslint-plugin-security eslint-plugin-sonarjs

| Package                        | Current | Update | Latest    |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------ | --------- |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1  | 3.0.1     |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0 | 3.0.1     |

You can also pass glob patterns to check for outdated packages:

terminal

bun outdated 'eslint*'

| Package                        | Current | Update | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------ | ---------- |
| eslint (dev)                   | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1 | 9.20.0     |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1  | 3.0.1      |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0 | 3.0.1      |

For example, to check for outdated @types/* packages:

terminal

bun outdated '@types/*'

| Package            | Current | Update | Latest |
| ------------------ | ------- | ------ | ------ |
| @types/bun (dev)   | 1.3.0   | 1.3.3  | 1.3.3 |

Or to exclude all @types/* packages:

terminal

bun outdated '!@types/*'

| Package                        | Current | Update    | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | --------- | ---------- |
| @sinclair/typebox              | 0.34.15 | 0.34.16   | 0.34.16    |
| eslint (dev)                   | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1    | 9.20.0     |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1     | 3.0.1      |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0    | 3.0.1      |
| expect-type (dev)              | 0.16.0  | 0.16.0    | 1.1.0      |
| prettier (dev)                 | 3.4.2   | 3.5.0     | 3.5.0      |
| tsup (dev)                     | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6     | 8.3.6      |
| typescript (dev)               | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3     | 5.7.3      |

Workspace Filters

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

terminal

bun outdated --filter='@monorepo/types'

| Package            | Current | Update | Latest |
| ------------------ | ------- | ------ | ------ |
| tsup (dev)         | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6  | 8.3.6  |
| typescript (dev)   | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3  | 5.7.3  |

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

terminal

bun outdated --filter @monorepo/types --filter @monorepo/cli

| Package                        | Current | Update | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------ | ---------- |
| eslint (dev)                 	 | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1 | 9.20.0     |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1  | 3.0.1      |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0 | 3.0.1      |
| expect-type (dev)              | 0.16.0  | 0.16.0 | 1.1.0      |
| tsup (dev)                     | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6  | 8.3.6      |
| typescript (dev)               | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3  | 5.7.3      |

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

terminal

bun outdated --filter='@monorepo/{types,cli}'

| Package                        | Current | Update | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------ | ---------- |
| eslint (dev)                   | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1 | 9.20.0     |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1  | 3.0.1      |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0 | 3.0.1      |
| expect-type (dev)              | 0.16.0  | 0.16.0 | 1.1.0      |
| tsup (dev)                     | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6  | 8.3.6      |
| typescript (dev)               | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3  | 5.7.3      |

Catalog Dependencies

bun outdated supports checking catalog dependencies defined inpackage.json:

terminal

bun outdated -r
