Usage

Vite

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { vitePluginVersionMark } from "vite-plugin-version-mark";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vitePluginVersionMark({
      // name: 'test-app',
      // version: '0.0.1',
      // command: 'git describe --tags',
      // outputFile: true,
      // ifGitSHA: true,
      ifShortSHA: true,
      ifMeta: true,
      ifLog: true,
      ifGlobal: true,
    }),
  ],
});

Nuxt3+

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    [
      "vite-plugin-version-mark/nuxt",
      {
        // name: 'test-app',
        // version: '0.0.1',
        // command: 'git describe --tags',
        // outputFile: true,
        // ifGitSHA: true,
        ifShortSHA: true,
        ifMeta: true,
        ifLog: true,
        ifGlobal: true,
      },
    ],
  ],
});

Then you can use vite-plugin-version-mark ! 🎉

🚀 What's New in v0.2.0: Multi-command support! Now you can execute multiple git commands and combine their results with custom formats. Perfect for creating version strings like "main-abc1234" or "v1.0.0-main-abc1234". See examples below ⬇️

Config

vite-plugin-version-mark can be print application version in the Console, defined global or add <meta> in HTML element.

Name Description Type Default Supported
name application name string name in package.json 0.0.1+
version application version string version in package.json 0.0.1+
ifGitSHA use git commit SHA as the version boolean false 0.0.1+
ifShortSHA use git commit short SHA as the version boolean false 0.0.1+
command provide a custom command to retrieve the version New: Now supports multiple commands! For example: git describe --tags or { commands: ['git branch --show-current', 'git rev-parse --short HEAD'], format: '{0}-{1}' } string | MultiCommandOptions git rev-parse --short HEAD 0.0.8+
ifLog print info in the Console boolean true 0.0.1+
ifGlobal set a variable named `__${APPNAME}_VERSION__` in the windowFor TypeScript users, make sure to add the type declarations in the env.d.ts or vite-env.d.ts file to get type checks and Intellisense. boolean true 0.0.4+
ifMeta add <meta name="application-name" content="{APPNAME_VERSION}: {version}"> in the <head> boolean true 0.0.1+
ifExport export the version field in the entry file. This may be used when you use vite to build a library mode.Through import { {APPNAME}_VERSION } from <your_library_name> boolean false 0.0.11+
outputFile The build generates a static file based on the version, as described in the outputFile configuration below. boolean/function false 0.1.1+

The version field takes precedence: command > ifShortSHA > ifGitSHA > version

Multi-Command Support 🎉 NEW in v0.2.0

Starting from version 0.2.0+, vite-plugin-version-mark supports executing multiple commands and combining their results! This is perfect for creating version strings that include both branch name and commit SHA.

Basic Multi-Command Usage
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { vitePluginVersionMark } from "vite-plugin-version-mark";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vitePluginVersionMark({
      // Simple multi-command with default separator
      command: {
        commands: [
          "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD", // Get branch name
          "git rev-parse --short HEAD", // Get short commit SHA
        ],
        // Output: "main-abc1234"
      },
    }),
  ],
});
Advanced Multi-Command Configuration
// vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vitePluginVersionMark({
      command: {
        commands: [
          {
            alias: "branch",
            cmd: "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD",
            fallback: "unknown",
          },
          { alias: "sha", cmd: "git rev-parse --short HEAD", timeout: 5000 },
          {
            alias: "tag",
            cmd: "git describe --tags --abbrev=0",
            fallback: "v0.0.0",
          },
        ],
        format: "{tag}-{branch}-{sha}", // Custom format template
        errorStrategy: "fallback", // Use fallback values on error
        parallel: true, // Execute commands in parallel
        // Output: "v1.0.0-main-abc1234"
      },
    }),
  ],
});
Multi-Command Options
Option Description Type Default
commands Array of commands to execute. Can be strings or command config objects (string | CommandConfig)[] -
format Template string with {alias} placeholders for formatting results string -
separator Default separator when no format template is provided string "-"
errorStrategy How to handle command failures: "strict", "skip", or "fallback" string "skip"
parallel Whether to execute commands in parallel for better performance boolean true
Error Handling Strategies
  • strict: Any command failure will throw an error and stop the build
  • skip: Failed commands are skipped, their results are empty in the output
  • fallback: Use the fallback value specified in the command config when a command fails
Command Configuration

Each command can be configured with additional options:

interface CommandConfig {
  alias: string; // Alias for referencing in format template
  cmd: string; // The actual command to execute
  fallback?: string; // Fallback value if command fails
  timeout?: number; // Command timeout in milliseconds (default: 10000)
}

outputFile Configuration Option

If you want to enable it, you can set it to true, and it will create a file with the path .well-known/version and the content of the current version number in the relative build directory (dist for vite and .output/public for nuxt3).

Alternatively, it can be set to a function that takes the version number as a parameter and returns an object. This allows you to define the content information generated, for example:

// vite.config.ts
vitePluginVersionMark({
  // ...other options

  outputFile: (version) => ({
    path: 'custom/version.json',
    content: `{"version":"${version}"}`,
  })
}),

With this configuration, a file named custom/version.json will be generated, and its content will be {"version":"${current version number}"}.
