Description

Often companies want to be able to have an evergreen environment with up-to-date dependencies to be able to fix issues and vulnerability ideally automatically by running update autonomous or at least providing automatic pull requests for such updates.

One very common tool for such update is renovate.

To help users setting up such tools, the angular docs should describe the steps needed/the commands to be executed to target such goal.

have a look at the related renovate issue/PR:

renovatebot/renovate#4256
renovatebot/renovate#7632

General steps:

• update and bundle all angular-related dependencies in the package.json/ lockfile
• install the dependencies
• execute migrations afterwards

Example using renovate:

{
  "postUpgradeTasks": {
    "commands": [
      "npm ci --ignore-scripts",
      "npx ng update {{{depName}}} --from={{{fromVersion}}} --to={{{toVersion}}} --migrateOnly --allowDirty --force"
    ],
    "fileFilters": ["**/**"]
  }
}
