Specify Node Version in package.json

Have you ever downloaded a project that uses javascript and wondered what version of npm or node you need to run?

Or did you need to inform the node version and didn't know where to put it?

There is a very simple and easy solution for this.

Example

Open your package.json, add the "engines" field and specify the node version.

You can enter the version directly:

{
  "engines": {
    "node": "16"
  }
}

And you can use semver to include specific ranges or version limits:

{
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=17.0.0 <18.0.0"
  }
}
