What?
Node.js v18.12.0 was the first long-term supported version introduced in v18.x line (https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v18.12.0). It is now the lowest version that is listed as Maintenance LTS release at https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases. The same version is bundled with npm 8.19.2. This PR tries to unify the minimum required Node.js version defined in all npm packages published to npm.
Why?
We are approaching another major WordPress release - 6.6.0. It's a good opportunity to ship all the breaking changes batched together with some other changes that landed recently:
While Gutenberg and WordPress core are more strict in defining the minimum required Node.js and npm versions:
I propose we also allow the 18.x line for WordPress packages, which will be actively maintained until the middle of 2025. This will give more time to folks who might still be using Node.js 18 in their projects.
How?
I ensured that all non-private packages have the minimum version defined with the following:
I also updated all corresponding documentation and add changelog entries.
The only exception is
@wordpress/create-block,which aligns more closely with the versions that WordPress and Gutenberg use, as decided separately some time ago.Testing Instructions
There isn't that much to test because
enginesworks mostly as a hint for Node.js, unless the strict check is explicitly enabled in.npmrc. More in https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/using-npm/config#engine-strict.
