We are migrating couple of years old project to latest one. Package.JSON refers to older version of packages. 

"@angular/animations": "^4.4.3",
"@angular/cdk": "^2.0.0-beta.10",
"@angular/common": "^4.0.0"

Is there any mechanism we can put @latest to each version and then execute NPM Update?

"@angular/animations": "@latest",
"@angular/cdk": "@latest",
"@angular/common": "@latest",

You can change each to "*" and delete the node_modules folder and do npm install.

You should be prepared to fix breaking changes from multiple packages at the same time.

Normally, you should do one at a time, so it is easier to trace breakages and so you know at least what caused it.

If you attempt this, you should make sure you change the versions back to "^X.X.X" in the package.json file. Auto-updating to latest can and will definitely break things over time.
