build_version 2.1.0

A builder for extracting a package version into code.

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
