Browserify transform to strip package.json of everything but the version
Browserify transform to strip everything from package.json
except for
the "version"
field.
npm install --save package-json-versionify
Say you want to ship a library, and do something like:
MyLibrary.version = require('./package.json').version;
Unfortunately, if you do this, then your entire package.json
will be included
in the output Browserify bundle, which will increase your bundle size. Bummer!
However, if you use this transform, then it will remove everything from package.json
except for the "version"
field. So when you require('./package.json')
, you get something much more compact, e.g.:
{"version":"1.0.0"}
