Node.js v22.18.0 (LTS)

Antoine du Hamel

2025-07-31, Version 22.18.0 'Jod' (LTS), @aduh95

Notable Changes

Type stripping is enabled by default

Node.js will be able to execute TypeScript files without additional configuration:

$ echo 'const foo: string = "World"; console.log(`Hello ${foo}!`);' > file.ts
$ node file.ts
Hello World!

There are some limitations in the supported syntax documented at https://nodejs.org/api/typescript.html#type-stripping.

This feature is experimental and is subject to change. Disable it by passing --no-experimental-strip-types CLI flag.
