How can we help?

I just need to know what the node version that JOI supports or where it tells you what it supports.

Right now I believe joi supports node version down to v12 as you can see here: #2262. However once v18 lands, it will drop v12 support: #2926

Do you mean that it supports any node version v12 and above at this moment? Which means it should support v18 right?

[Nargonath]

@Marsup what do you think of adding engines.node to joi's package.json to easily communicate the supported node versions?

[JustCasuallyJames]

I would like to say that it's a bit difficult to understand which node version Joi supports given the documentation. So having a engines.node would be amazing

You can safely assume that it supports all LTS versions from v12 in regards to joi@17 but I'm not sure for the support for node@>18 though.

If you receive an answer as to if it does support node v18, please put the answer in this issue. Thank you! And keep this updated in regards to the engines.node.

[Nargonath]

I'm pretty sure it supports node@18. Do you have an issue with node@18 that makes you think otherwise?

[Nargonath]

@JustCasuallyJames if you look at the tests run on GitHub actions: https://github.com/hapijs/joi/actions/runs/6408115210 all tests pass for node@18 and node@20 so the support extends to node@20 as well.

[JustCasuallyJames]

Correct. I'm experiencing an issue when I'm upgrading my app from node 14 to 18. I'm trying to deduce what the real issue is. I appreciate you helping!

[Nargonath]

Do you mind sharing your error and some code perhaps if needed so we can better understand what's the problem you're facing?

[JustCasuallyJames]

Unfortunately, I am unable to share my specific code for privacy reasons. Although, I do appreciate you helping me out! I honestly don't know exactly where the problem is so I'm grasping at strings.
