wbc-version

a hook into npm's version control to create a app.wbc-version.ts.

It will do the following steps:

• bump up the version number (f.e. 'patch' increments 0.0.1 -> 0.0.2)
• start the wbc-version.js script, that will
  • get the new version number
  • get the current branch
  • get the latest commit hash
  • get a new Date() and
  • write them all to the file app.wbc-version.ts in scr/app
• git add scr/app/app.wbc-version.ts
• git push
• git push --tags

src/app/wbc-version.ts file output:

export const appVersion = {
  version: '0.0.69',
  branch: '* master',
  commit: 'de8998f',
  date: 'Thu Feb 01 2018 14:48:56 GMT+0100 (CET)'
};

install

Download wbc-version.js to root of your project. In the projects package.json add:

  [...]
  "scripts": {
    [...]
    "version": "node ./wbc-version.js && git add ./src/app/app.wbc-version.ts",
    "postversion": "git push && git push --tags"
  },

usage

Code & commit as usual. When ready to release a new version, use npm version [<newversion> | major | minor | patch | premajor | preminor | prepatch | prerelease | from-git].

Inside your app, f.e. in app.component.ts you can

import { appVersion } from './app.wbc-version';
console.log(appVersion);
