listing-data tutorial version of node?

I am curious if it is a version problem. I am doing the listing-data tutorial and it uses URLSearchParams and its append method. It tries to add a number but append takes a string as far as I can tell? Might I have a node version problem. Running node: v20.11.1

Hi @Todilo. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- It seems like you might be encountering an issue related to the version of Node.js you are using. Based on the knowledge sources, there are a few points to consider: 1. Node Version Requirements: Several extracts mention that certain functionalities and tutorials require a minimum Node.js version of v16.14.0. For example, the prerequisites for building a CRUD app with Material UI and Strapi in React specify that your Node.js version needs to be at least v16.14.0 (source (https://refine.dev/blog/build-admin-panel-with-material-ui-and-strapi/#prerequisites)). 2. Common Issues with Node Versions: There are known issues when using Node.js versions below v16.14.0, such as problems with running certain commands or packages (source (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/6282)). 3. Specific Node Version Problems: If you are running into issues with specific methods like URLSearchParams.append, it is less likely to be a Node.js version problem if you are already on v20.11.1, as this version is well above the minimum required and should support all modern JavaScript features. Given that you are using Node.js v20.11.1, it is unlikely that the version itself is causing the problem. Instead, the issue might be related to how the URLSearchParams.append method is being used. The append method does indeed expect both parameters to be strings. If you are trying to append a number, you should convert it to a string first. Here is an example of how to correctly use URLSearchParams.append:

const params = new URLSearchParams();
params.append('key', String(123)); // Convert number to string
console.log(params.toString()); // Output: key=123

const params = new URLSearchParams();
params.append('key', String(123)); // Convert number to string
console.log(params.toString()); // Output: key=123

If you continue to experience issues, please ensure that your code is correctly converting numbers to strings before appending them to URLSearchParams. For more detailed information, you can refer to the official documentation (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/append). If you need further assistance, please provide more details about the specific error message or issue you are encountering. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
