# Node.js LTS versions
Retrieve a list of [Long Term Stable](https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/) versions of Node.js.
The output of the yaml function is designed to populate a GitHub Actions matrix declaration so that your CI is always testing with every **Active LTS** version of Node.js.
### Usage
This action has three outputs:
- `active` is currently active node.js versions
- `lts` is a subset of active versions.
- `min` is the lowest LTS version
At the time of writing, active=`[18,20]` and lts=`[18,20]`.
#### manually (the normal way)
```yaml
test:
strategy:
matrix:
os: [ ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest ]
node-version: [ 18, 20 ]
fail-fast: false
steps:
```
#### automatically
```yaml
test:
needs: get-lts
strategy:
matrix:
os: [ ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest ]
node-version: ${{ fromJson(needs.get-lts.outputs.lts) }}
fail-fast: false
steps:
get-lts:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- id: get
uses: msimerson/node-lts-versions@v1
outputs:
active: ${{ steps.get.outputs.active }}
lts: ${{ steps.get.outputs.lts }}
min: ${{ steps.get.outputs.min }}
```
### Example
```sh
✗ node main.js
::setOutput name=active::["18", "20"]
::setOutput name=lts::["18", "20"]
::setOutput name=min::"18"
```
#### RAW
```js
const ltsv = require('node-lts-versions')
ltsv.fetchLTS().then(() => {
console.log(ltsv.json())
console.log(ltsv.yaml())
ltsv.print()
})
```
### Methods
#### fetchLTS
Retrieves Node.js version information. Prints active LTS versions in several formats.
#### json
```json
["18", "20"]
```
#### yaml
```yaml
[ '18', '20' ]
```
#### print
```
