Summary

All packages now require Node.js 24 or later, and CI tests on Node.js 24 and 26. Node.js 20 is end-of-life, and v6 is a new major release, so it targets the two newest release lines. The development tooling needs newer Node.js versions as well: the ESLint flat config in the follow-up PR uses eslint-plugin-unicorn, which requires Node.js 22 or later.

 package.json                           "node": ">= 22"  ->  ">= 24"
 packages/feathers/package.json         "node": ">= 20"  ->  ">= 24"
 packages/create-feathers/package.json  "node": ">= 18"  ->  ">= 24"
 package-lock.json                      (the same three engines entries)
 .nvmrc                                 22  ->  24
 .github/workflows/nodejs.yml           [20.x, 24.x]  ->  [24.x, 26.x]
 .github/workflows/update-dependencies.yml   18.x  ->  24.x

No related issues, and no dependencies on other PRs.

Evidence

  • Before: CI ran on Node.js 20 and 24.
    After: CI is green on Node.js 24 and 26. npm test (lint, compile, tests) also passes locally on Node.js 24.16 and 26.10 with Tests 497 passed | 1 skipped.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Blast Radius: small

Installing the v6 prerelease or running npm create feathers on Node.js 22 or older now prints an EBADENGINE warning. It only becomes an install error with engine-strict. Feathers v5 is not affected.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Node.js 20 is end-of-life and the development tooling (ESLint plugins)
already requires newer versions. All packages now require Node.js 24 or
later and CI tests on Node.js 24 and 26.
