Node.js

How json2vars-setter handles Node.js, and how the example workflow provisions it.

json2vars-setter integration

Item Value
Matrix JSON key versions.nodejs
Action output versions_nodejs
Dynamic-update strategy input nodejs-strategy (stable / latest / both)
Version source see Version Sources

Supported runners

The example matrix runs on Ubuntu / Windows / macOS:

ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest

Any GitHub-hosted runner the setup action supports also works - the OS list is just the os array in your matrix JSON.

Supported versions

Example matrix (what the example workflow runs):

    ]
  }
}
