update package.json version automatically

问题:

Before I do a small release and tag it, I'd like to update the package.json to reflect the new version of the program.

Is there a way to edit the file package.json automatically?

Would using a git pre-release hook help?

回答1:

npm version is probably the correct answer. Just to give an alternative I recommend grunt-bump. It is maintained by one of the guys from angular.js.

Usage:

grunt bump
>> Version bumped to 0.0.2

grunt bump:patch
>> Version bumped to 0.0.3

grunt bump:minor
>> Version bumped to 0.1.0

grunt bump
>> Version bumped to 0.1.1

grunt bump:major
>> Version bumped to 1.0.0

If you're using grunt anyway it might be the simplest solution.

Right answer

To do so, just npm version patch =)

My old answer

There is no pre-release hook originally in git. At least, man githooks does not show it.

If you're using git-extra (https://github.com/visionmedia/git-extras), for instance, you can use a pre-release hook which is implemented by it, as you can see at https://github.com/visionmedia/git-extras/blob/master/bin/git-release. It is needed only a .git/hook/pre-release.sh executable file which edits your package.json file. Committing, pushing and tagging will be done by the git release command.

If you're not using any extension for git, you can write a shell script (I'll name it git-release.sh) and than you can alias it to git release with something like:

git config --global alias.release '!sh path/to/pre-release.sh $1'

You can, than, use git release 0.4 which will execute path/to/pre-release.sh 0.4. Your script can edit package.json, create the tag and push it to the server.

This is what I normally do with my projects:

npm version patch
git add *;
git commit -m "Commit message"
git push
npm publish

The first line, npm version patch, will increase the patch version by 1 (x.x.1 to x.x.2) in package.json. Then you add all files -- including package.json which at that point has been modified. Then, the usual git commit and git push, and finally npm publish to publish the module.

I hope this makes sense...

To give a more up-to-date approach.

package.json

  "scripts": {
    "eslint": "eslint index.js",
    "pretest": "npm install",
    "test": "npm run eslint",
    "preversion": "npm run test",
    "version": "",
    "postversion": "git push && git push --tags && npm publish"
  }

Then you run it:

npm version minor --force -m "Some message to commit"

Which will:

1. ... run tests ...

2. change your package.json to a next minor version (e.g: 1.8.1 to 1.9.0)

3. push your changes

4. create a new git tag release and

5. publish your npm package.

--force is to show who is the boss! Jokes aside see https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8620

回答5:

As an addition to npm version you can use the --no-git-tag-version flag if you want a version bump but no tag or a new commit:

npm --no-git-tag-version version patch

https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/version

回答6:

If you are using yarn you can use

yarn version --patch

This will increment package.json version by patch (0.0.x), commit, and tag it with format v0.0.0

Likewise you can bump minor or major version by using --minor or --major

When pushing to git ensure you also push the tags with --follow-tags

git push --follow-tags

You can also create a script for it

    "release-it": "yarn version --patch && git push --follow-tags"

Simply run it by typing yarn release-it

I am using husky and git-branch-is:

"scripts": {
  ...
  "postmerge": "(git-branch-is master && npm version minor || 
  (git-branch-is dev && npm --no-git-tag-version version patch)",
  ...
},

Webpack or Vue.js

If you are using webpack or Vue.js, you can display this in the UI using Auto inject version - Webpack plugin

NUXT

In nuxt.config.js:

var WebpackAutoInject = require('webpack-auto-inject-version');

module.exports = {
  build: {
    plugins: [
      new WebpackAutoInject({
        // options
        // example:
        components: {
          InjectAsComment: false
        },
      }),
    ]
  },
}

Inside your template for example in the footer:
