Vite Plugin Environment Extensions

This Vite plugin automatically injects environment variables for the package version, current git branch name, build date, and the last commit's short hash into your Vite project. This can be particularly useful for versioning, build tracking, and displaying relevant build information within your application.

Features

• Injects PACKAGE_VERSION from package.json.
• Injects BRANCH_NAME using the current git branch.
• Injects BUILD_DATE with the current date and time.
• Injects LAST_COMMIT_HASH with the short hash of the latest commit.

Installation

First, install the plugin via npm or yarn:

npm install --save-dev vite-plugin-env-extensions
# or
yarn add --dev vite-plugin-env-extensions

Usage

Add the plugin to your vite.config.js or vite.config.ts file:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import envExtensionsPlugin from 'vite-plugin-env-extensions';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [envExtensionsPlugin()],
});

Accessing Environment Variables

Within your application, you can access the injected environment variables as follows:

console.log(import.meta.env.PACKAGE_VERSION); // Outputs the package version
console.log(import.meta.env.BRANCH_NAME); // Outputs the current git branch name
console.log(import.meta.env.BUILD_DATE); // Outputs the build date
console.log(import.meta.env.LAST_COMMIT_HASH); // Outputs the last commit's short hash

Requirements

• Your project must be a Git repository as the plugin utilizes git commands to retrieve branch and commit information.
• Git must be installed in the environment where the Vite build process is run.
