rembUse bun outdated to check for outdated dependencies in your project.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bun outdated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bun outdated supports searching for outdated dependencies by package names and glob patterns. To check if specific dependencies are outdated, pass the package names as positional arguments: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bun outdated eslint-plugin-security eslint-plugin-sonarjs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You can also pass glob patterns to check for outdated packages: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bun outdated 'eslint*'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For example, to check for outdated @types/* packages: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bun outdated '@types/*'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bun outdated '!@types/*'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
