Version Name Gradle Plugin

This plugin adds a kotlin extension function that provides a version name based on the latest git tag.

How to use it 👣

Apply the plugin in build.gradle.kts:

plugins {
    id("com.doist.gradle.version-name")
}

Then, you can use:

versionName = project.versionName()

It adds also project.versionCode() extension method that's useful in Android projects. This can be used like:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        versionCode = project.versionCode()
        versionName = project.versionName()
        ...
    }
}

Version name is calculated based on the latest git tag. To be specific it uses following command to get it:

git describe --tags --abbrev=0 --match $prefix*

It requires git.

Version code is a version name without a prefix, v by default.

Configuration ⚙️

versionName {
    namePrefix.set("v")
}
