Node.js TypeScript Configuration Manager

Build a command-line tool that generates appropriate TypeScript configuration files for different Node.js runtime versions.

Requirements

Your tool should accept a Node.js version number as input and generate a tsconfig.json file with compiler options appropriate for that Node.js version. The tool should support Node.js versions from 10 through 24, as well as a special "lts" mode that targets the current LTS version.

Version-Specific Configuration Rules

Different Node.js versions support different ECMAScript features and module systems. Your tool should apply the following rules:

Target ECMAScript Version:

• Node 10-11: Use ES2018
• Node 12-13: Use ES2019
• Node 14-15: Use ES2020
• Node 16: Use ES2021
• Node 17-21: Use ES2022
• Node 22+: Use ES2023

Module System:

• Node 10-15: Use CommonJS module format
• Node 16-21: Use Node16 module format
• Node 22+: Use NodeNext module format

Module Resolution:

• Node 10-15: Use "node" resolution strategy
• Node 16+: Use "node16" resolution strategy

Library Definitions:

• All versions should include appropriate ES library definitions matching the target version
• Node 22+ should also include cutting-edge library features: "ESNext.Array", "ESNext.Collection", "ESNext.Iterator", "ESNext.Promise"

Core Configuration

All generated configurations must include these foundational options:

• Strict type checking enabled
• Skip library checking for build performance
• ES module interoperability enabled

Input and Output

The tool should:

• Accept a Node.js version as a command-line argument (e.g., "14", "20", "lts")
• Generate a properly formatted tsconfig.json file in the current directory
• Handle invalid version inputs gracefully with clear error messages

Test Cases

• When run with Node version 14, it generates a config with ES2020 target and CommonJS modules @test
• When run with Node version 20, it generates a config with ES2022 target and Node16 modules @test
• When run with Node version 22, it generates a config with ES2023 target, NodeNext modules, and ESNext library features @test
• When run with an invalid version like "99", it displays an error message @test
