+The `node-version-file` input accepts a path to a file containing the version of Node.js to be used by a project, for example `.nvmrc` or `.node-version`. If both the `node-version` and the `node-version-file` inputs are provided then the `node-version` input is used. In the special case of using `volta`, the action will use `package.json` and look for the `volta.node` key.
