motormetrics Dependency Upgrade Skill
Uses pnpm with catalog for centralized dependency management.
Check for Updates
pnpm outdated # Check all outdated
pnpm -r outdated # Across workspace
pnpm -F @sgcarstrends/api outdated # Specific package
pnpm dlx taze --interactive # Interactive upgrade
Upgrade Process
1. Update Catalog
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
catalog:
next: ^16.0.0 # Upgraded from ^15.0.0
react: ^19.0.0
Packages reference with "package": "catalog:" in package.json.
2. Install and Test
pnpm install
pnpm tsc --noEmit # Type check
pnpm test # Unit tests
pnpm biome check . # Lint
pnpm build # Build
pnpm dev # Manual testing
3. Fix Breaking Changes
// Example: Next.js 16 async params
// Before
export default function Page({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) {
return <div>{params.id}</div>;
}
// After
export default async function Page({ params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }) {
const { id } = await params;
return <div>{id}</div>;
}
4. Commit
git commit -m "chore(deps): upgrade Next.js to v16
- Upgrade Next.js 15 → 16
- Upgrade React 18 → 19
- Fix async params migration
BREAKING CHANGE: Requires Node.js 20+"
Major Version Upgrades
Next.js
pnpm dlx @next/codemod@latest upgrade latest # Run codemod
# Update catalog: next: ^16.0.0, react: ^19.0.0
pnpm install
# Fix: async params, async cookies/headers
TypeScript
# Update catalog: typescript: ^5.3.3
pnpm install
pnpm tsc --noEmit # Fix type errors
Drizzle ORM
# Update catalog: drizzle-orm: ^0.30.0, drizzle-kit: ^0.20.0
pnpm install
pnpm -F @sgcarstrends/database db:generate # If schema changed
Security Updates
pnpm audit # Check vulnerabilities
pnpm audit --fix # Auto-fix
# Or manually update vulnerable package in catalog
Dependency Conflicts
pnpm why package-name # Check dependency chain
pnpm dedupe # Deduplicate
Use overrides as last resort:
{ "pnpm": { "overrides": { "react": "^19.0.0" } } }
Rollback
git reset --hard HEAD
# Or revert lockfile:
git checkout main -- pnpm-lock.yaml
pnpm install
Troubleshooting
# Lockfile conflicts
rm pnpm-lock.yaml && pnpm install
# Build failures after upgrade
rm -rf node_modules .turbo dist .next && pnpm install && pnpm build
Best Practices
- Use Catalog: Centralize versions in pnpm-workspace.yaml
- Test Thoroughly: Run all tests after upgrades
- Read Changelogs: Review breaking changes before upgrading
- Upgrade Incrementally: Don't update everything at once
- Commit Separately: Separate dependency upgrades from features
- Automate Security: Use Dependabot for security patches
