WriteBuildInfoJsonFilePlugin
package:
write-build-info-json-webpack-plugin
A webpack plugin that generates a BUILD_INFO.json file with timestamp, git-sha and other custom info after compilation is done.
Install
# npm
npm i write-build-info-json-webpack-plugin -D
# yarn
yarn add write-build-info-json-webpack-plugin -D
Usage
const WriteBuildInfoJsonFilePlugin = require('write-build-info-json-webpack-plugin');
const buildTime = new Date();
const gitSha = ... extract head git commit SHA, eg via simple-git
# then later, add to the `plugins` section of the webpack config
plugins = [
new WriteBuildInfoJsonFilePlugin(buildTime, gitSha),
]
The plugin hooks into the done part of the webpack compilation and will produce a file named BUILD_INFO.json in the root of the webpack output folder.
You can read the contents of the BUILD_INFO.json file in your app and display some of that info in an "About" or "Version" page/section.
