task: Make it easier to understand loaded Embed/Embed UI

[luca-gr4vy]

Description: Adds the package version information to a global gr4vy.version.embed variable. If embed-ui is loaded correctly, also add gr4vy.version.embed-ui with that information (passed via the frameReady event).

Depends on: https://github.com/gr4vy/embed-ui/pull/279

Ticket: https://gr4vy.atlassian.net/browse/TA-1466

Note: Not really sure how we can pass the embed-ui version information if it doesn't even load (network error)

I like this approach @luca-gr4vy. I would not worry about getting the EmbedUI version if it doesn't load, that's fine.

I do agree with @douglaseggleton's point about the EmbedUI version not being a version but more of a hash. I am not even sure we can read this in any way.

@luca-gr4vy to confirm: this does not bundle the whole package.json into the frontend library, right?

@douglaseggleton was suggesting we could try to somehow display that as a custom header in the static script response, like x-gr4vy-version?

the other idea I had was to write a simple node script that runs on postinstall and dumps the version + commit hash into a file or something, and read it from there

it shouldn't, thanks to the webpack approach but I'll certainly double-check

[luca-gr4vy]

Updated to use process.env.npm_package_version

[luca-gr4vy]

Added the current branch hash info, no need for a separate node script (done with the cat command)

Perfect. Love it.
