Example 2: The below example illustrates the use of the v8.cachedDataVersionTag() method in Node.js.

index.js 

javascript




// Accessing v8 module
const v8 = require('v8');
 
// User defined function
function getTagVersion() {
 
    // Initializing with zero
    let tagVersion = 0;
 
    // Calling v8.cachedDataVersionTag()
    tagVersion = v8.cachedDataVersionTag();
 
    return tagVersion;
}
 
// Function call
let result = getTagVersion();
 
// Printing Tag version
