How to check the node version being used in a project
I have a TurboRepo project that's using a mono repo setup for a bunch of nuxed apps. There's no specific .nvmrc file.
Does this mean that whatever developer who is running and working on it locally is automatically using their version of Node,？
Or does nuxt like automatically save and assign a specific version of node when the project is made or something like that?

Nuxt does not automatically save or enforce a specific Node.js version when you create a project. If your monorepo (including TurboRepo and Nuxt apps) does not have a version manager file like
- Without a version manager file or explicit configuration, developers use their own Node.js version. - Nuxt does not automatically assign or enforce a Node.js version when creating a project. - It's up to you (or your team) to standardize the Node.js version if needed.

.nvmrc or a package.json field specifying the Node version, then each developer will use whatever version of Node is installed on their machine by default.
However, Nuxt recommends (and some deployment platforms require) using a specific Node.js version. For example, the Nuxt documentation recommends Node.js 18.x or newer, and some deployment guides (like for Netlify) specify that you must set Node.js 20.x or higher in your deployment settings for compatibility reasons. But this is a recommendation, not an automatic enforcement by Nuxt itself unless you configure it in your project files or CI/CD settings Nuxt Installation Prerequisites, Netlify Deployment Guide.
If you want to check which Node.js version is being used locally, you can run:
If you want to enforce a specific Node.js version for your project, you should add a .nvmrc file, or specify the engines field in your package.json. But by default, Nuxt does not do this for you.
In summary:- Without a version manager file or explicit configuration, developers use their own Node.js version. - Nuxt does not automatically assign or enforce a Node.js version when creating a project. - It's up to you (or your team) to standardize the Node.js version if needed.
