API

assuming you're requiring this module as nodevu:

• nodevu(options) - returns a promise that resolves to a giant JSON blob of data. This is the default export.
  • options (Object, optional): an Object of options to pass to the module.
    • fetch (Object, optional): your chosen fetch implementation. Default: Undici's fetch impelmentation.
    • now (String, optional): a custom date String (ISO 8601) to do relative checks against. Most likely only useful for internal testing. Default: DateTime.now() from Luxon.
    • urls (Object, optional): an Object that enables you to set custom values for the Node.js index.json file and schedule.json file.
      • index (String, optional): a String that, if set, changes the URL that this module looks for the version index file at. This should be a full URL that points to a JSON file. Default: https://nodejs.org/dist/index.json.
      • schedule (String, optional): a String that, if set, changes the URL that this module looks for the Node.js release schedule file at. This should be a full URL that points to a JSON file. Default: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodejs/Release/master/schedule.json .

The data returned by this module follows a pretty specific structure. Here's a detailing of that structure:

Example output

You can find an example of the output here. It's big. Like, really big. GitHub will struggle to render it. It's probably worth viewing raw or curl'ing the raw output.
