Change NodeJS version

Support Feature Requests
1

Hey there,

I want to have the official NodeJS (https://replit.com/@replit/Nodejs) repl to have the default NodeJS version updated to 19. It’s literally one character changed in the nix file (from pkgs.nodejs-18_x to pkgs.nodejs-19_x) but a very useful change.

Voice any concerns down below, otherwise there simply is no reason to not change it. It’s not very complicated, hard, or time consuming and it isn’t that big of a change. A lot of people update NodeJS themselves anyways, why not have Replit just do it for us.

Thanks!

One thing I’ve noticed about the Node template is that Nix is like totally messed up when I try to update Node.

I just changed the number, and it seems to work fine for me.
