Programming Flix

Finding Outdated Packages

We can use the outdated command to check if any Flix packages have updates available.

For example, if we have the following dependency in flix.toml:

[dependencies]
"github:flix/museum"            = "1.0.0"
"github:flix/museum-giftshop"   = "1.0.0"

then we can run outdated command which will produce:

Found `flix.toml`. Checking dependencies...

package                 current    major    minor    patch
flix/museum             1.0.0               1.4.0         
flix/museum-giftshop    1.0.0               1.1.0         

The outdated command tells us that we are using two packages which have updates available:

• flix/museum can be upgraded from 1.0.0 to 1.4.0.
• flix/museum-giftshop can be upgraded from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0.

If we want to upgrade a package, we must manually modify flix.toml.
