Node.js

Curated name node. Node is built into the runtime image (currently v22), so a bare node installs nothing extra. A pinned version goes through the upstream devcontainers/features/node feature.

Add it

monoceros init acme --with-languages=node
monoceros add-language acme node:20

Remove it

monoceros remove-language acme node

Or delete the entry from acme.yml by hand and re-run monoceros apply acme - the yml is the source of truth.

Pinning a version

A bare node keeps the built-in v22. To run a different major, pin it - that bypasses the built-in and installs through the feature:

monoceros add-language acme node:20

Supported majors: 22, 20 (also lts, latest).

Key options

Set these by adding the feature directly (see Other feature options):

Option	Default	Notes
`version`	`lts`	Pin via the `:version` suffix instead.
`pnpmVersion`	`latest`	`none` to skip pnpm.
`npmVersion`	`none`	Pin a specific npm.
