app-meta

Access meta data about an application.

A common feature that I include in my client side apps is meta information about the application itself. Three common values are:

This library provides a simple method to store and access those bits of data that you can use across all of your apps.

Set up your server to send over the meta data as data attributes on the html element. This might look like:

<html
  lang='en'
  data-version='<%= version %>'
  data-sha='<%= sha %>',
  data-env='<%= env %>'
  >

Then, require in this library.

import meta from 'path/to/app-meta';
 
console.log(
  'Got some data:', 
  meta.VERSION,
  meta.SHA,
  meta.ENV
);

Should work in IE6+

It exports UMD, so it's compatible with AMD, CJS, and as a browser global (window.meta).
