NGX Build Info

Gather useful information about the build and CVS then find/replace in your built app.

Install

npm i @rippell/ngx-build-info -D

Basic Usage

Add variables to your codebase that can be found/replaced after the build has completed.

Easiest way is adding to your index.html:

<script>
window.app = {
  hash: '${gitHash}',
  built: '${buildTime}'
}
</script>

Otherwise, variables can be added to other files and scanned there -- see below.

Add a postbuild to your package.json scripts:

  ...
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "postbuild": "ngx-build-info"
  }
  ...

By default, this will attempt a find/replace for variables in your index.html. Other options are:

• main - all main-*.js files
• all - all files in the ./dist/*/ folder
• RegExp - accepts anything else as a regular expression for finding the files

For example if you know it only needs ran against the common package:

    "postbuild": "ngx-build-info common-.*\.js"

For a full list of variables, see the keys of the values object.
