Overview

Our v8 release is coming soon, and with that comes the regular expected bumping of our minimum dependency versions! 🎉

To recap, raising the minimum versions of ESLint, Node, and TypeScript allows us to support fewer divergent sets of available APIs. That lets us work faster, ship less code, and take up fewer resources in our own builds. See https://typescript-eslint.io/users/dependency-versions for what version ranges we support.

This issue tracks raising the minimum versions of those three dependencies. Expecting roughly a ~summer 2024 release of v8:

• ESLint: will remain supporting v8
• Node: will remain supporting ^18 and >=20
• TypeScript: will bump from >=4.7 to >=4.8

Overall, this should be a pretty small change that doesn't cause much disruption. We can expect very few users to still require TypeScript 4.7.

Putting in triage so other folks on @typescript-eslint/triage-team can make sure I got this right. 😄
