Package Exports

node-lts-versions
node-lts-versions/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (node-lts-versions) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Node.js LTS versions

Retrieve a list of Release versions of Node.js and export the versions for consumption by automated processes.

The output of the yaml function is designed to populate a GitHub Actions matrix declaration so that your CI is testing with the supported LTS version(s) of Node.js.

Usage

This action has the following outputs:

active are Active LTS versions
maintenance are Maintenance LTS versions
lts is all LTS versions (active + maintenance)
current is the Current node version
min is the lowest LTS version

At the time of writing, active=[22] and lts=[18,20,22].

manually (the normal way)

test:
  strategy:
    matrix:
      os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest]
      node-version: [18, 20]
    fail-fast: false
  steps:

automatically

test:
  needs: get-lts
  strategy:
    matrix:
      os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest]
      node-version: ${{ fromJson(needs.get-lts.outputs.lts) }}
    fail-fast: false
  steps:
get-lts:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - id: get
      uses: msimerson/node-lts-versions@v1
  outputs:
    active: ${{ steps.get.outputs.active }}
    lts: ${{ steps.get.outputs.lts }}
    min: ${{ steps.get.outputs.min }}

Example

✗ node main.js
::set-output name=active::["22"]
::set-output name=maintenance::["18","20"]
::set-output name=lts::["18","20","22"]
::set-output name=current::["23"]
::set-output name=min::"18"

RAW

const ltsv = require('node-lts-versions')
ltsv.fetchLTS().then(() => {
  console.log(ltsv.json())
  console.log(ltsv.yaml())
  ltsv.print()
})

Methods
