Auto increase package.json number.
This option requires extra argument to be sent to webpack build.
It happens before anything else to make sure that your new version is injected into your files.
Arguments: --env.major --env.minor --env.patch
Example for package.json run type, npm run start => ( 1.2.10 to 2.0.0 )
"version" : "1.2.10",
"scripts": {
"start": "webpack --env.major"
}
To enable watch mode:
plugins: [
new WebpackAutoInject({
...
components: {
AutoIncreaseVersion: true,
...
},
componentsOptions: {
AutoIncreaseVersion: {
runInWatchMode: false // it will increase version with every single build!
}
}
})
]
Default: true
Inject version number into your file
Version will replace the <{version}> tag.
<span>My awesome project | [AIV]{version}[/AIV]</span>
var version = '[AIV]{version}[/AIV]';
Default: true
This will inject your version as a comment into any css,js,html file.
You can change what is injected into the file by changing componentsOptions.InjectAsComment.tag.
Currently only 2 tags are supported:
...
plugins: [
...
new WebpackAutoInject({
PACKAGE_JSON_PATH: './package.json',
components: {
...
InjectAsComment: true
},
componentsOptions: {
...
InjectAsComment: {
tag: 'Build version: {version} - {date}', // default
dateFormat: 'dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy, h:MM:ss TT' // default
}
})
]
Default: true
AIV can inject version number for all your bundle files (css,js,html).
// [AIV] Build version: 1.0.10
/******/ (function(modules) { // webpackBootstrap
/******/ // The module cache
/******/ var installedModules = {};
Example html:
<!-- [AIV] Build version: 1.0.10 -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
