As I’ve shown you in the past, nvm
an excellent utility for switching between Node.js versions. Whether your host machine or CI, building and testing your apps on different Node versions is a necessity. I’ve recently found a few nvm
commands that I found really useful during local development.
To set a default node version on your machine, without touching your system’s install, you can use:
nvm alias default [version_here]
To automatically switch to the node version that best suits a project’s package.json
file, simply type:
nvm use
I’ve always loved nvm
but I still catch myself manually changing versions when I could automate that process with a few commands!
