How can i update ngx-bootstrap in my angular project

Question

I am using angular version of @angular/cli": "~8.3.25 and ngx-bootstrap": "^5.3.2", and now I want to update my ngx-bootstrap version to ngx-bootstrap": "^8.0.0" so what is the way to update the ngx-bootstrap version to latest version in existing angular project with out affecting all the functionality .

Answer 1

One can install specific version of a package by

npm i package_name@version

In your case it will be

npm i ngx-bootstrap@8.0.0 --save

--save flag register package to your package.json dependencies.

Answer 2

you can try this

ng update ngx-bootstrap

but I'm not sure that nothing will break, probably it will be necessary to manually update the components if there are breaking changes
