How to use the command Get-NodeVersions (with examples)
The Get-NodeVersions command is part of ps-nvm and is designed to be run under PowerShell. It allows you to list the installed and available Node.js versions for ps-nvm. You can use this command to easily view and manage the Node.js versions on your system.
Use case 1: List all installed Node.js versions
Code:
Get-NodeVersions
Motivation:
The motivation for using this use case is to quickly retrieve a list of all the Node.js versions that are currently installed on your system using ps-nvm. This can be useful when you want to check which versions are available for use or when troubleshooting issues related to specific versions.
Explanation:
The Get-NodeVersions command without any arguments lists all the installed Node.js versions. It provides a simple way to see a list of all the installed versions on your system.
Example output:
v12.16.2
v14.5.0
Use case 2: List all available Node.js versions
Code:
Get-NodeVersions -Remote
Motivation:
The motivation for using this use case is to retrieve a list of all available Node.js versions from the remote source. This is useful if you want to check if any new versions have been released or if you prefer to install a specific version that is not currently installed on your system.
Explanation:
The -Remote argument tells the Get-NodeVersions command to list all the available Node.js versions from the remote source. This provides a way to see a complete list of all the available versions that can be installed.
Example output:
v12.18.0
v12.17.0
v14.6.0
Use case 3: List all available Node.js 20.x versions
Code:
Get-NodeVersions -Remote -Filter ">=20.0.0 <21.0.0"
Motivation:
The motivation for using this use case is to search for and list only the available Node.js versions within a specific range. This can be useful if you are trying to find all the available versions within a major version range, such as the 20.x range.
Explanation:
The -Remote argument tells the Get-NodeVersions command to list the available Node.js versions from the remote source. The -Filter argument allows you to specify a filter to narrow down the versions. In this case, the filter ">=20.0.0 <21.0.0" selects only the versions within the 20.x range.
Example output:
v20.13.0
v20.12.0
Conclusion:
The Get-NodeVersions command provides a convenient way to list both installed and available Node.js versions for ps-nvm. Whether you need to view all installed versions, check for available versions, or search for versions within a specific range, this command gives you the flexibility to manage your Node.js installations effectively.
