“keywords”: [
“freecodecamp”,
“backend”,
“project”
],

node v12.16.1
I just saw this in my repl it in the package json I guess this is the one to write for the version right? Its already there behind the hood on repl it , I guess,

no, that’s the version of node that you are using

the version field is about your own project
