manifest.xml version update

[tb-b]

Is there a way to pass package.json version to manifest.xml other than let p = require('./package.json')? It would be good to have the versions in sync automatically. I have a decunstructor xml function that runs after the build and updates this version in manifest.xml, but it would be better to just pass it down to cep.config.ts somehow

Slightly easier way than deconstructing manifest is to use yarn add -D genversion

1. generate version.ts on build/dev/serve

   /* package.json */
   "dev": "genversion --es6 ./src/version.ts && ..."
   "build": "genversion --es6 ./src/version.ts && ..."

2. and then import to cep.config.ts

   
   /* cep.config.ts */
   import { version } from './src/version'

const config: CEP_Config = { // ... version: version, }

but still, would be better to pass it directly to cep.config.ts somehow

Great suggestion!

This did cross my mind a while back but forgot to investigate. Looks like a simple import should work with the JSON plugin for Rollup so no file generation is needed.

import { version } from "./package.json";
const config: CEP_Config = {
       version,
       [...]
}

Will add this to the boilerplate going forward, and if the user wants to break the link, they can.
