Platforms

PRPL supports Node current and LTS versions. Support for Deno is on the roadmap.

Node

Here is a breakdown of all Node platform APIs used by PRPL and their earliest supported versions:

`os`

Method	Version supported
`EOL`	>=0.7.8

`url`

Method	Version supported
`fileURLToPath`	>=10.12.0

`path`

Method	Version supported
`basename`	>=0.1.25
`dirname`	>=0.1.16
`extname`	>=0.1.25
`join`	>=0.1.16
`parse`	>=0.11.15
`posix`	>=0.11.15
`relative`	>=0.5.0
`resolve`	>=0.3.4
`sep`	>=0.7.9

`fs/promises`

`copyFile`	>=10.0.0
`mkdir`	>=10.0.0
`readdir`	>=10.0.0
`readFile`	>=10.0.0
`stat`	>=10.0.0
`writeFile`	>=10.0.0

Deno

Deno has been a consideration since early days in the PRPL project. The following decisions were partly influenced by the potential for Deno as platform target:

Adoption of TypeScript
PRPL modules written as ECMAScript modules
Introduction of ensureDir, ensureFile, and exists as library functions

These decisions will ease the process of supporting Deno. Some other notes:

There is an open ticket on Node compatibility and an effort in the Deno standard lib working towards it
The Deno standard library has a path module that has 1:1 implementations with all path Node APIs used by PRPL
Deno fs to Node fs/promises is less exact in equivalency for the APIs used by PRPL but is fairly close
