Discussion on "Managing Node.js with Volta"

I recently wrote a blog post about how I use NVM to manage my node version. Someone commented on the post saying I should look into Volta What is Volta Volta is a command line tool used to manage your Node.js. It is built using Rust and is shipped as...

I haven't used nvm yet because I want to work with the latest version of node. But sure I wanna try out this new thing: Volta.

Does this mean that we can install a specific version of node for a specific project we wanna build? 🤔

Thanks for bringing this to us Corey!

Hey max,

I work on multiple projects that all require a different version of node. Both NVM and Volta allow me to easily install and switch between the different versions.

I do recommend trying each one out yourself.

Corey O'Donnell Yes but, I personally haven't encountered any issue with any version of node.

If possible, can you please write a blog-post on what is the need for using different versions of node

Usman Sabuwala when you get hired, you might get to work on multiple existing projects, some older than others and you can't just simply upgrade your version because some things may break due to compatibility issues or something.

That's why you need tools to control the version you are in, so that you can work on different projects, that have been started in different dates but still need maintenance/features.

Probably there's more reasons, I'm just starting out and this is my main one.
