A Visual Studio Code extension for managing dependencies in pnpm workspace catalogs. It provides inline version information, update notifications, and quick actions for packages defined in your pnpm-workspace.yaml file.
Features
Commands
Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux) and search for:
Command
Description
PNPM Catalog: Refresh Outdated Packages
Manually refresh the outdated packages cache. Use this after making changes outside of VS Code or to force a fresh check.
PNPM Catalog: Update Package to Latest
Update a specific package to its latest version. This command is typically invoked via the hover tooltip.
Requirements
pnpm must be installed and available in your PATH
A valid pnpm-workspace.yaml file in your workspace
How It Works
When you open a pnpm-workspace.yaml file, the extension runs pnpm outdated -r --json to fetch outdated package information
Results are cached per workspace to avoid repeated calls
Hover information is fetched on-demand from the npm registry and cached for performance
The cache is automatically refreshed when you switch workspaces
Known Issues
The extension relies on pnpm outdated which requires packages to be installed. If you have a fresh workspace without node_modules, run pnpm install first.
Version decorations may take a moment to appear on first load while the outdated check runs.
