Get information about Node.js versions

Usage

$ npm i @pkgjs/nv

const nv = require('@pkgjs/nv')

(async () => {
  const versions = await nv('lts')
  console.log(versions)
  /*
[
  {
    version: '10.16.3',
    major: 10,
    minor: 16,
    patch: 3,
    codename: 'dubnium',
    versionName: 'v10',
    start: 2018-04-24T00:00:00.000Z,
    lts: 2018-10-30T00:00:00.000Z,
    maintenance: 2020-04-01T00:00:00.000Z,
    end: 2021-04-01T00:00:00.000Z
  }
]
  */
})()

You can also pass an array of aliases and the resulting array will be sorted and de-duped, for example:

const versions = await nv(['lts', 'maintained'])
console.log(versions.map((v) => v.version))
/*
[ '8.16.1', '10.16.3', '12.11.0' ]
*/
