Updating from 6.x to 7.x
Example.
Before starting an update, it's recommended to have a clean git branch. Having a clean branch allows inspecting all the changes done during the update one last time before committing them.
Update steps ​
Update NativeScript CLI ​
Every update starts with updating the NativeScript CLI to the latest version.
npm install -g nativescript@latest
Once installed, verify the version with:
$ ns -v
# should print the version:
v8.x.x
âś” Up to date.
Update runtimes, core and webpack ​
For a quick update of the essential dependencies, run:
ns update
The following packages will be updated to their latest
versions:
@nativescript/core
@nativescript/webpack
@nativescript/types # if installed
@nativescript/ios # if installed
@nativescript/android # if installed
Note
If you prefer to update dependencies manually, you can do that as well, for example by manually changing versions in package.json
then installing dependencies.
Clean project ​
To make sure all dependencies are updated correctly, it's recommended to clean the project with:
ns clean
