Name : nodejs
Product : Fedora 31
Version : 12.13.1
Release : 1.fc31
URL : http://nodejs.org/
Summary : JavaScript runtime
Description :
Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime
for easily building fast, scalable network applications.
Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that
makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive
real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

Update Information:

Update to Node.js upstream release 12.13.1
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v12.13.1/ Also fixes an issue where running
`npm -g` was risky on RPM-installed systems. Fedora's packaged NPM will now
install global content in /usr/local instead of /usr where it could conflict
with RPM-provided versions.
