Develop Node.js based applications. Includes Node.js, eslint, nvm, and yarn.

You can directly reference pre-built versions of Dockerfile by using the image property in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json or updating the FROM statement in your own Dockerfile to one of the following. An example Dockerfile is included in this repository.

• mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node (latest)
• mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:24 (or 24-trixie, 24-bookworm, 24-bullseye to pin to an OS version)
• mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:22 (or 22-trixie, 22-bookworm, 22-bullseye to pin to an OS version)
• mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:20 (or 20-trixie, 20-bookworm, 20-bullseye to pin to an OS version)

Refer to this guide for more details.

You can decide how often you want updates by referencing a semantic version of each image. For example:

• mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:4-24 (or 4-24-trixie, 4-24-bookworm, 4-24-bullseye)
• mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:4.0-24 (or 4.0-24-trixie, 4.0-24-bookworm, 4.0-24-bullseye)
• mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:4.0.11-24 (or 4.0.11-24-trixie, 4.0.11-24-bookworm, 4.0.11-24-bullseye)

However, we only do security patching on the latest non-breaking, in support versions of images (e.g. 4-24). You may want to run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade in your Dockerfile if you lock to a more specific version to at least pick up OS security updates.

Beyond Node.js and git, this image / Dockerfile includes eslint, zsh, Oh My Zsh!, a non-root node user with sudo access, and a set of common dependencies for development. Node Version Manager (nvm) is also included in case you need to use a different version of Node.js than the one included in the image.
