Getting Started

Installation

npm i -D pkg.json-webpack-plugin

const PackageJsonPlugin = require('pkg.json-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // ...webpack config
  plugins: [new PackageJsonPlugin()],
};
console.log(process.env.pkgJson.version); // > 1.0.0

the plugin uses EnvironmentPlugin under the hood to load the values, refer the docs to know how it works

the default options are

new PackageJsonPlugin({
  key: 'pkgJson',
  normalize: true,
  rootDir: process.cwd(),
  include: [],
});
  • key [string] - name of key to which package.json values are mapped to
