version-guard

Version Guard

Used to ensure modern CLI scripts fail silently on old node.js versions

Usage

Add a top-level file to your project, eg. cli.js, containing something like:

require('version-guard')('./path/to/file/to/run', 14, 18);

Syntax

versionGuard(filePath, minMajor, [minMinor])

• filePath - a path to the modern file that should be run
• minMajor - the lowest major Node.js version that should be allowed to run the file
• [minMinor] - the lowest minor version of minMajor that should be allowed to run the file

Returns no data. Throws when configured incorrectly. Logs when failing silently.

filePath gets imported using the dynamic import(), thus supporting both ESM and CJS modules.

This project itself is a CJS project as the entire point is to work on incredibly old node.js versions.
