- Bump Node.js to version 18. This change is necessary as Node.js v16
will reach end-of-life on 2023-09-11. It also ensure compatibility
with dependencies requiring minimum of Node.js v18, such as `vite`,
`@vitejs`plugin-legacy` and `icon-gen`.
- Bump `setup-node` action to v4.
- Recommend using the `nvm` tool for managing Node.js versions in the
documentation.
- Update documentation to point to code reference for required Node.js
version. This removes duplication of information, and keeps the code
as single source of truth for required Node.js version.
- Refactor code to adopt the `node:` protocol for Node API imports as
per Node.js 18 standards. This change addresses ambiguities and aligns
with Node.js best practices (nodejs/node#38343). Currently, there is
no ESLint rule to enforce this protocol, as noted in
import-js/eslint-plugin-import#2717.
- Replace `cross-fetch` dependency with the native Node.js fetch API
introduced in Node.js 18. Adjust type casting for async iterable read
streams to align with the latest Node.js APIs, based on discussions in
DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#65542.
This commit addresses occasional pipeline failures caused by transient
network errors during dependency installation with `npm ci`. It
centralizes the logic for installing npm dependencies and introduces a
retry mechanism.
The new approach will attempt `npm ci` up to 5 times with a 5-second
interval between each attempt, thereby increasing the resilience of
CI/CD pipelines.
This commit adds a new script `npm-install.js` with `npm run
install-deps` command to centralize npm dependency installation process
throughout the project. Separate testing of scripts to a separate
workflow.
It removes unused `install` dependency from `package.json`.
