nodejs-versions

The current major Node.js versions for use in automation scripts.

At the moment the list is maintained by hand.

My packages are always tested against the officialy supported LTS (active) versions.

Data source

Github action

Here the lts.json is retrieved and made available in needs.lts_versions.outputs.matrix. Then in the build you convert the JSON array to a matrix.

jobs:
  lts_versions:
    name: "Get versions"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - id: set-matrix
        run: echo "matrix=$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fvdm/nodejs-versions/main/lts.json)" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
    outputs:
      matrix: ${{ steps.set-matrix.outputs.matrix }}

  build:
    name: "Node"
    needs: lts_versions
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: ${{ fromJson(needs.lts_versions.outputs.matrix) }}
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Test on Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v2
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
    - run: npm install
    - run: npm test
