ionic-version

Seamlessly shadows the behaviour of npm version.

npm-scripts hook (automatic method)

Setup

npm install ionic-version --save-dev
# or 
yarn add ionic-version --dev

Hook into the "version" or "postversion" npm script in your app's package.json:

{
    "name": "myApp",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "author": "Ionic Framework",
    "homepage": "http://ionicframework.com/",
    "private": true,
    "scripts": {
        "clean": "ionic-app-scripts clean",
        "build": "ionic-app-scripts build",
        "lint": "ionic-app-scripts lint",
        "ionic:build": "ionic-app-scripts build",
        "ionic:serve": "ionic-app-scripts serve",
+		"postversion": "ionic-version"
    },
    // ...
}

Usage

Before you publish a new build of your app, run npm version <newversion>.

ionic-version will then update your config.xml and therefore your platforms/ code during build. Depending on the script and options you choose, it can also automatically amend the version bump commit and update the Git tag created by npm version. This method should be useful in most cases. If you need more control, take a look at the CLI and options below.

CLI

Setup

npm install -g ionic-version
# or 
yarn global add ionic-version

Example usage

cd myApp/
npm version patch
ionic-version

Options

-V, --version      output the version number
-a, --amend        Amend the previous commit. Also updates the latest Git tag to point to the amended commit. This is done automatically when ionic-version is run from the "version" or "postversion" npm script. Use "--never-amend" if you never want to amend.
--skip-tag         For use with "--amend", if you don't want to update Git tags.
-A, --never-amend  Never amend the previous commit.
-q, --quiet        Be quiet, only report errors.
-h, --help         output usage information

You can apply these options to the "version" or "postversion" script too. If for example you want to commit the changes made by ionic-version yourself, add the "--never-amend" option:

{
    // ...
    "scripts": {
        "postversion": "ionic-version --never-amend"
    },
    // ...
}

API

import version from "ionic-version";
 
async function doSomething() {
    const versionResult = await version({
        amend: true
        // ...
    });
}
 
// or
 
version({
    amend: true
    // ...
})
    .then(commitHash => {
        console.log(commitHash);
    })
    .catch(err => {
        console.error(err);
    });
