setup-node

This Pipelines Task installs and sets up NodeJS programming language.

Prerequisites

None.

Usage

Basic:

- task: jfrog/setup-node@v0.1.0  
  input:
    version: "18.0.0"

You can use an Artifactory integration and local generic repository to cache the NodeJS installer. The first run of the task will download the installer from the internet and upload it to Artifactory. Following runs will download the installer from Artifactory instead.

- task: jfrog/setup-node@v0.1.0
  input:
    version: "18.0.0"
    cacheIntegration: "my_artifactory"
    cacheRepository: "pipelines_cache_local"
