@release-it/bumper

Version read/write plugin for release-it

This plugin reads and/or writes version/manifest files.

npm install --save-dev @release-it/bumper

In release-it config:

"plugins": {
  "@release-it/bumper": {
    "out": "manifest.json"
  }
}

In case the in option is used, the version from this file will take precedence over the version from package.json or the latest Git tag (which release-it uses by default).

The default type is application/json, but text/* and text/yaml or application-x-yaml are also supported.

"plugins": {
  "@release-it/bumper": {
    "in": {
      "file": "VERSION",
      "type": "text/plain"
    },
    "out": {
      "file": "VERSION",
      "type": "text/plain"
    }
  }
}

To replace all occurences of the current version with the new version in any text file:

"plugins": {
  "@release-it/bumper": {
    "out": {
      "file": "file.php",
      "type": "text/php"
    }
  }
}

The out option can also be an array of files:

"plugins": {
  "@release-it/bumper": {
    "out": ["manifest.json", "bower.json"]
  }
}

The path option (default: "version") can be used to change a different property. the following example will set the current.version property to the new version in manifest.json:

"plugins": {
  "@release-it/bumper": {
    "out": {
      "file": "manifest.json",
      "path": "current.version"
    }
  }
}
