Parcel v2 transformer: package version

If you need to use the package version of your package.json in your project, you can add this transformer to your project. PACKAGE_VERSION will be replaced with the version in your package.json.

Setup

In your .pracelrc, add the @cimonitor/parcel-transformer-package-version transformer for the files you want use the package version in. In the example below we would like to use the package version in a .tsx file:

{
    "extends": "@parcel/config-default",
    "transformers": {
        "*.{ts,tsx}": ["@cimonitor/parcel-transformer-package-version", "@parcel/transformer-typescript-tsc"],
    }
}

Add the @cimonitor/parcel-transformer-package-version package to your package.json with either yarn or npm.

Now, PACKAGE_VERSION will be replaced in the compiled code for the given file transformers.

Note: If you don't see any changes, remove your .parcel-cache folder and rebuild.

Example

About.tsx:

import { ReactElement } from 'react';

const About = (): ReactElement => <h1>About version PACKAGE_VERSION</h1>;

export default About;

package.json:

{
    "version": "1.2.3"
}

Will output:

About version 1.2.3
