npm install --save node-appinfo
var appInfo = require("node-appinfo")();
Provides access to the following app information:
- name: the application name
- version: the version of the current application
- author: the author's name
- description: the description as set by the app's author
package.json file manually: var appInfo = require("node-appinfo")(__dirname);
// if called from the project's root folder it wil load
// data from the package.json
You can also send data to be manually set.
var appInfo = require("node-appinfo")({
name : "app1-manual"
version : (require("./package.json").version)
});
Currently this module will try to retrieve data from the package.json of the directory in which the main script resides.
If the script is launched with mocha or a manager like pm2 the wrong path will be returned and the manager's application information will be returned.
