## Minimal Path to Awesome
|
|
|
|
* Clone this repository
|
|
* Set the `version` node in the `package.json` file, or by using `npm version major`, `npm version minor` or `npm version patch`
|
|
* in the command line run:
|
|
* `npm install`
|
|
* `gulp serve`
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
The sample uses a custom `gulp` task to synchronize the `version` node from the NodeJS `package.json` to the SharePoint solution's `package-solution.json`.
|
|
|
|
The solution demonstrates how to import the `package-solution.json` into a web part using a static `import` and a `require` statement.
|
|
|
|
### Using npm version to set the version
|
|
|
|
To change the `package.json` version (which will also change your SharePoint solution version), use [`npm version`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/version), using one of the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
```cmd
|
|
npm version major
|
|
npm version minor
|
|
npm version patch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following table shows when you should call which `npm version` command, depending on the types of changes you're making to your solution:
|
|
|
|
|Type of change|Stage|Versioning rule|Example version| NPM command
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|First release|New solution|Start with 1.0.0|1.0.0| `npm version major`
|
|
|Backward compatible bug fixes|Patch release|Increment the third digit|1.0.1| `npm version patch`
|
|
|Backward compatible new features|Minor release|Increment the middle digit and reset last digit to zero|1.1.0| `npm version minor`
|
|
|Changes that break backward compatibility|Major release|Increment the first digit and reset middle and last digits to zero|2.0.0| `npm version major`
|
|
|
|
### To use the custom gulp task in your solutions
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: if you use the [PnP SPFx Yeoman generator](https://pnp.github.io/generator-spfx/), there is already a built-in `gulp` command that will synchronize your version number when you use `npm version`. You only need to follow the steps below if you use the regular SPFx Yeoman generator.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to use the custom `gulp` task in your solutions, copy the code from this solution's `gulpfile.js` between:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// BEGIN: Add custom version sync task
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// END: Add custom version sync task
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To your own `gulpfile.js`.
|
|
|
|
### To use the version using the web part's manifest
|
|
|
|
The `BaseClientSideWebPart` class `context` property provides a `manifest` which contains a `version` property. To use it in your web part, simply use:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
this.context.manifest.version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This approach provides a version number that follows the `1.0.0` format, instead of the usual `1.0.0.0` format. However, since the `gulp` tasks describe above append an additional `.0` to the end of the `package.json` version number, you can choose to append `.0` yourself when displaying the manifest version. For example:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
this.context.manifest.version + '.0'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### To use the version using a static import
|
|
|
|
1. Copy the content of this solution's `src\typings.d.ts` to your own `src` folder in your own project.
|
|
2. In the code where you want to insert the solution version, add the following `import` statement:
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import * as packageSolution from '../../../config/package-solution.json';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that you may have to adjust the path to your `package-solution.json` depending on where you're adding the code within your solution.
|
|
|
|
### To use the version using a require
|
|
|
|
In the code where you want to insert the solution version, add the following `require` statement:
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const packageSolution: any = require("../../../config/package-solution.json");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that you may have to adjust the path to your `package-solution.json` depending on where you're adding the code within your solution.
