version-me

some cheap dev-only lib to avoid manual updates of the version in multiple files (f.e. version.json/version.xml besides package.json)

where to use it?

the bundler config / somewhen else before any further pipelines

how to use

import { versionMe, xml } from 'versionMe'

versionMe()
// or
versionMe({ file: './dist/build-version.json' })
// or
versionMe({ customContent: ({ version }) => JSON.stringify({ CUSTOM_VERSION_KEY: version }) })
// or
versionMe({ file: './version.xml', customContent: (param) => xml(param) })
// or or or

environment variables it looks for

you must either provide the npm_package_version (provided by default if using a package manager to start the script) or VERSION by hand
=> VERSION whatever.js or yarn whatever (script in package.json which runs whatever.js somehow)

configurations

key	default value	description
file	'./version.json'	sets the file path & name
customContent	({ version }) => JSON.stringify({ version })	adds the ability for custom file contents

provided formatters

• json ({"version": "..."}) (default)
• xml (<version>...</version>)
