versionize

Opinionated package versioner

This package can be used for versioning your Node.js projects. It uses Semantic Versioning and increments versions by specifying the desired release type.

Prerequisites

• node v18 or higher

Install

Add the module within your monorepo:

$ yarn add -D @uscreen.de/versionize

Usage

$ versionize latest // => increments (minor) pre-release version
$ versionize stable // => increments minor version
$ versionize hotfix // => increments patch version
$ versionize        // => outputs current version

Versions are written into package.json and manifest.json. The package.json always contains the current stable release version. The manifest.json contains the current pre-release version, if given, otherwise also the current stable release version.

Options

Raw output

If you want to use versionize's output for shell scripts or similar, use the option --raw. Instead of the default output, versionize will only write the new version to stdout, without any pretty printing.

Commit & tag via Git

If used with option --commit, versionize will automatically commit the changes it made to package.json and manifest.json. If used with option --tag, versionize will additionally tag the automatic commit with the new version.

You need a working git binary in your PATH.

JavaScript

The package also exposes some methods so you could use versionize inside your project:

import { getCurrentVersion, bumpVersion } from '@uscreen.de/versionize'

getCurrentVersion

Get the current version of your project:

const myVersion = getCurrentVersion()

You could overwrite the current working directory with the option cwd:

const myVersion = getCurrentVersion({ cwd: '/path/to/my/project' })

bumpVersion

Bump the version of your project:

bumpVersion('stable')

You could overwrite the current working directory with the option cwd:

bumpVersion('stable', { cwd: '/path/to/my/project' })

To commit or tag the version bump, use the corresponding options:

// commit:
bumpVersion('stable', { commit: true })

// (commit &) tag:
bumpVersion('stable', { tag: true })
