Normalize and validate Node.js versions.

Takes any version range as inputs such as `8`, `8.5.0` or `>=8` and returns a
`"major.minor.patch"` string. Throws if the Node.js version does not exist.

# Hire me

Please
[reach out](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7117265228068716545/)
if you're looking for a Node.js API or CLI engineer (11 years of experience).
Most recently I have been [Netlify Build](https://github.com/netlify/build)'s
and [Netlify Plugins](https://www.netlify.com/products/build/plugins/)'
technical lead for 2.5 years. I am available for full-time remote positions.

# Example

```js
import normalizeNodeVersion from 'normalize-node-version'

await normalizeNodeVersion('8') // '8.17.0'
await normalizeNodeVersion('8.5.0') // '8.5.0'
await normalizeNodeVersion('v8.5.0') // '8.5.0'
await normalizeNodeVersion('<7') // '6.17.1'
await normalizeNodeVersion('8.5.2') // Error: Invalid Node version
await normalizeNodeVersion('not_a_version') // Error: Invalid Node version

// All available options
await normalizeNodeVersion('8', {
// Use a mirror for Node.js binaries
mirror: 'https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node',
// Do not cache the list of available Node.js versions
fetch: true,
// Cancels when the signal is aborted
signal: new AbortController().signal,
})
```

# Install

```bash
npm install normalize-node-version
```

This package works in Node.js >=18.18.0.

This is an ES module. It must be loaded using
[an `import` or `import()` statement](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c),
not `require()`. If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to
[output ES modules](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/esm-node.html),
not CommonJS.

# Usage

## normalizeNodeVersion(versionRange, options?)

`versionRange`: `string`\
`options`: `object?`\
_Returns_: `Promise`

### options

#### mirror

_Type_: `string`\
_Default_: `https://nodejs.org/dist`

Base URL to fetch the list of available Node.js versions. Can be customized (for
example `https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node`).

The following environment variables can also be used: `NODE_MIRROR`,
`NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR`, `N_NODE_MIRROR` or `NODIST_NODE_MIRROR`.

#### fetch

_Type_: `boolean`\
_Default_: `undefined`

The list of available Node.js versions is cached for one hour by default. If the
`fetch` option is:

- `true`: the cache will not be used
- `false`: the cache will be used even if it's older than one hour

#### signal

_Type_:
[`AbortSignal`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortSignal)

Cancels when the signal is aborted.
