Increase Minimum supported node version
sibiraj-sr opened this issue · 2 comments
The library should support whatever react supports or at-least max range. Since this is a UI component, there is no need to specify node versions.
Expected behaviour
Should support node versions whatever react supports.
https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/packages/react/package.json#L28-L30
Current behaviour
In v6. the node version has been increased to v10. this prevents us from installing the lib on v8 node
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Install react-tags with yarn in v8 node
Screenshots
Your environment
- OS: Mac
- Browser: No
- Nodejs: v8
- Version of the component: [e.g. 6.x]
- React version: [e.g. 16.13]
Thanks for your question @sibiraj-s. I'm afraid I don't intend to offer any support for older Node versions and Node 8 reached its end of life in 2019. Because the component can be rendered on the server-side using the react-dom/server package the Node version specified in the manifest is relevant.
For now if the component does still work with Node v8, and you do really need to install the package using Yarn, I believe you can do so using the --ignore-engines flag. However, this is completely at your own risk and may break in any future release!
Thanks for the clarification. I did totally forgot the server side thing.
Yeah. --ignore-engines is too much riskier. we have a monorepo with both BE and FE code. things might not end up good. I might have to check if anything else could be done for this package alone. if nothing works I might have to fork it and use the fork directly.
