Run script only if specific version of node is detected

Question

I have a very hack-ish script to deal with a problem present only in node v6.

I have the following in my package.json:

"scripts": {
    "pretest": "npm run target-2016 && tsc",

I want to run target-2016 only on node v6 (boron), is it possible?

Answer 1

You could do something with the output of npm -v. I'm not sure if I would try and put it all in package.json, so maybe an external script for something like this would be good.
