Untangling Your Dependencies: A Pattern for a Well-Knit JavaScript Project
summary
A concrete migration from React Native 0.55 to 0.74 uncovers the workflow: start by reproducing errors (missing iPhone 6 simulator, Java runtime failures), use npm why to trace which package pulls in a transitive dependency, consult the upgrade-helper diffs, run npm audit and automated bots like Renovate or Snyk, upgrade one platform at a time, adopt autolinking, and use bleeding-edge branches with tiny commits so upgrades are reproducible and easy to rebase.
