# Elastic Node.js Transport [](http://standardjs.com/) [](https://github.com/elastic/elastic-transport-js/actions/workflows/nodejs.yml) [](https://codecov.io/gh/elastic/elastic-transport-js) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@elastic/transport) This is a HTTP transport Node.js library for communicate with [Elastic](http://elastic.co/) products, like [Elasticsearch](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch). ## Install ``` npm install @elastic/transport ``` ### Node.js support NOTE: The minimum supported version of Node.js is `v16`. The client versioning follows the Elastc Stack versioning, this means that major, minor, and patch releases are done following a precise schedule that often does not coincide with the [Node.js release](https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/) times. To avoid support insecure and unsupported versions of Node.js, the client **will drop the support of EOL versions of Node.js between minor releases**. Typically, as soon as a Node.js version goes into EOL, the client will continue to support that version for at least another minor release. Unless you are **always** using a supported version of Node.js, we recommend defining the client dependency in your `package.json` with the `~` instead of `^`. In this way, you will lock the dependency on the minor release and not the major. (for example, `~7.10.0` instead of `^7.10.0`). | Node.js Version | Node.js EOL date | End of support | | --------------- |------------------| ---------------------- | | `8.x` | `December 2019` | `7.11` (early 2021) | | `10.x` | `April 2021` | `7.12` (mid 2021) | | `12.x` | `April 2022` | `8.2` (early 2022) | | `14.x` | `April 2023` | `8.8` (early 2023) | ## API ## Usage ## License This software is licensed under the [Apache 2 license](./LICENSE).
