How do you update your project's old nodejs package with a single npm command?

NPM is a popular package manager for nodejs developers. When our project is big, and as a developer, we need to update node js regularly, but for a larger project, it takes lots of time to check and update every package one by one. Instead, we use npm in-built functionality to update all old node.js packages with one single command.
