How to choose a node version?

[doronbehar]

I'd like to make dream2nix use a certain nodejs version - how do I do that?

Thanks

Yes! I see now this documented in https://nix-community.github.io/dream2nix/subsystems/node.html#example and in the README.. I just didn't think what is the meaning of it and I missed it.. Perhaps this should be renamed nodejsVersion? To match the naming scheme of pythonVersion? Or at least comment something like:

Good point! We should rename it.

Now that makeFlakeOutputs is legacy, what's the right way to do this?
