Supported Node.js Versions
Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule . Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:
- Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
- Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
- Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed through npm dist-tags
.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version)
.
For example, npm install @google-apps/chat@legacy-8
installs client libraries
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.
Versioning
This library follows Semantic Versioning .
