I implemented Dependabot configuration to automate security updates for our project dependencies. This change enhances our project's security posture by ensuring we're promptly notified of and can address critical vulnerabilities.
Created a new .github/workflows/dependabot.yml file to configure Dependabot
Set up Dependabot to scan for security updates in npm packages across multiple directories:
Root directory
/api directory
/client directory
/packages/data-provider directory
Configured Dependabot to run daily checks for each directory
Limited Dependabot to focus solely on security updates, ignoring general version bumps
Set a maximum of 10 open pull requests at a time for each directory
Configured Dependabot to only consider direct dependencies for updates
