Why You Need to Call it Regularly
npx update-browserslist-db@latest
updates caniuse-lite
version
in your npm, yarn or pnpm lock file.
This update will bring data about new browsers to polyfills tools like Autoprefixer or Babel and reduce already unnecessary polyfills.
You need to do it regularly for three reasons:
- To use the latest browserโs versions and statistics in queries like
last 2 versions
or>1%
. For example, if you created your project 2 years ago and did not update your dependencies,last 1 version
will return 2-year-old browsers. - Actual browsers data will lead to using less polyfills. It will reduce size of JS and CSS files and improve website performance.
