# yarn-update-indirect
Tool to update indirect dependencies in [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) lockfiles.
_Indirect_ means that the dependency is not directly referenced in
a project's package.json, but is a transitive dependency of a package that is.
This tool is a workaround for the lack of an easy built-in way to update
indirect dependencies in `yarn.lock` files. See [this
issue](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/4986).
The tool works in two steps:
1. Edit the project's `yarn.lock` file to remove existing resolutions
for a package.
2. Re-run `yarn install` to refresh the lockfile and add resolutions for
the current versions.
**This tool is designed for Yarn v3+ (aka. "yarn modern"). It does not work
with Yarn classic (v1.x).**
## Usage
As an example, suppose your project has indirect dependencies on "foo" and "bar"
and you want to update them to the latest compatible versions, you would run:
```
npm install yarn-update-indirect
yarn-update-indirect foo bar
```
This will update the "yarn.lock" file in the current working directory.
