Web App Builder / NodeJS version requirement?

DemersM commented 5 years ago

Hi,

First time trying this generator with WAB v2.9 and NodeJS v6.9.1.

I have an error when using yo esri-appbuilder-js after installing grunt, yo, and generator-esri-appbuilder-js

module.exports = async options => {
                       ^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

r\lib\index.js:9:19)
    at Module._compile (module.js:570:32)

I suspect the error is with the NodeJS 6.9.1 version not being compatible. Is is right?

What are the required versions for NodeJS and WAB?

As of v4.0.0, node v6 is not supported - I'm not sure what is the current lowest supported version but recomended would be current LTS Nodejs version.

There's a note on the nodejs versions we're testing here, but I think we should probably make that more explicit (maybe a section in the readme?) Sorry for the lack of explanation.
