Check for current Node Version

Question

I need to programmatically access the current node version running in a library I am writing. Can\'t seem to find this in the docs.

Answer 1

Try to look at process.version property.

Answer 2

process.version.match(/^v(\d+\.\d+)/)[1]

if process.version is 'v0.11.5', then get 0.11 .

Answer 3

If you access node js running environments, there are 2 main entries: (one simeple, one detail)

• process.version will give you:

'v10.16.0'

• process.versions will give you:

{ http_parser: '2.8.0',
  node: '10.16.0',
  v8: '6.8.275.32-node.52',
  uv: '1.28.0',
  zlib: '1.2.11',
  brotli: '1.0.7',
  ares: '1.15.0',
  modules: '64',
  nghttp2: '1.34.0',
  napi: '4',
  openssl: '1.1.1b',
  icu: '64.2',
  unicode: '12.1',
  cldr: '35.1',
  tz: '2019a' }
