I am wondering is there an easier way to update cordova plugin?

I googled, found a hook (@ year 2013), but this is not 100% what I want.

I know I can do this by two steps: rm, then add but I am looking for a better (official) way to help me which plugins have newer version? and I can update ALL of them in one command. (just like: npm update)

for example:

$ cordova plugin list
/* list all installed plugins, their dependencies, and newer versions */

$ cordova plugin update
/* update all of them for me */

if there is no official way, is there some other helper? yo?

I got tired of manually checking for plugin updates so created a tool to do it for me: https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-check-plugins

Install it globally:

$ npm install -g cordova-check-plugins

Then run from the root of your Cordova project. You can optionally update outdated plugins interactively or automatically, e.g.

$ cordova-check-plugins --update=auto
