Pub

Include the version of your package in our source code.

  1. Add build_version to pubspec.yaml. Also make sure there is a version field.

    name: my_pkg
    version: 1.2.3
    dev_dependencies:
      build_runner: ^1.0.0
      build_version: ^2.0.0
    
  2. Run a build.

    > dart pub run build_runner build
    

    lib/src/version.dart will be generated with content:

    // Generated code. Do not modify.
    const packageVersion = '1.2.3';
    

To change the path of the generated file, create a `build.yaml`(build config) in the root of your package. By changing the output option of this builder, the path can be customized:

targets:
  $default:
    builders:
      build_version:
        options:
          output: lib/src/custom/path/to/version.dart
