Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vitePluginVersionMark({
      // name: 'test-app',
      // version: '0.0.1',
      // command: 'git describe --tags',
      // outputFile: true,
      // ifGitSHA: true,
      ifShortSHA: true,
      ifMeta: true,
      ifLog: true,
      ifGlobal: true,
    }),
  ],
});

        ifLog: true,
        ifGlobal: true,
      },
    ],
  ],
});

Then you can use vite-plugin-version-mark ! 🎉

🚀 What's New in v0.2.0: Multi-command support! Now you can execute multiple git commands and combine their results with custom formats. Perfect for creating version strings like "main-abc1234" or "v1.0.0-main-abc1234". See examples below ⬇️

Config

vite-plugin-version-mark can be print application version in the Console, defined global or add <meta> in HTML element.

| Name | Description | Type | Default | Supported | | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------- | -------------------------- | --------- | | name | application name | string | name in package.json | 0.0.1+ | | version | application version | string | version in package.json | 0.0.1+ | | ifGitSHA | use git commit SHA as the version | boolean | false | 0.0.1+ | | ifShortSHA | use git commit short SHA as the version | boolean | false | 0.0.1+ | | command | provide a custom command to retrieve the version New: Now supports multiple commands! For example: git describe --tags or { commands: ['git branch --show-current', 'git rev-parse --short HEAD'], format: '{0}-{1}' } | string | MultiCommandOptions | git rev-parse --short HEAD | 0.0.8+ | | ifLog | print info in the Console | boolean | true | 0.0.1+ | | ifGlobal | set a variable named `__${APPNAME}_VERSION__` in the windowFor TypeScript users, make sure to add the type declarations in the env.d.ts or vite-env.d.ts file to get type checks and Intellisense. | boolean | true | 0.0.4+ | | ifMeta | add <meta name="application-name" content="{APPNAME_VERSION}: {version}"> in the <head> | boolean | true | 0.0.1+ | | ifExport | export the version field in the entry file. This may be used when you use vite to build a library mode.Through import { {APPNAME}_VERSION } from <your_library_name> | boolean | false | 0.0.11+ | | outputFile | The build generates a static file based on the version, as described in the outputFile configuration below. | boolean/function | false | 0.1.1+ |

The version field takes precedence: command > ifShortSHA > ifGitSHA > version

Multi-Command Support 🎉 NEW in v0.2.0

Starting from version 0.2.0+, vite-plugin-version-mark supports executing multiple commands and combining their results! This is perfect for creating version strings that include both branch name and commit SHA.

Basic Multi-Command Usage

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { vitePluginVersionMark } from "vite-plugin-version-mark";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vitePluginVersionMark({
      // Simple multi-command with default separator
      command: {
        commands: [
          "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD", // Get branch name
          "git rev-parse --short HEAD", // Get short commit SHA
        ],
        // Output: "main-abc1234"
      },
    }),
  ],
});

Advanced Multi-Command Configuration

// vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vitePluginVersionMark({
      command: {
        commands: [
          {
            alias: "branch",
            cmd: "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD",
            fallback: "unknown",
          },
          { alias: "sha", cmd: "git rev-parse --short HEAD", timeout: 5000 },
          {
            alias: "tag",
            cmd: "git describe --tags --abbrev=0",
            fallback: "v0.0.0",
          },
        ],
        format: "{tag}-{branch}-{sha}", // Custom format template
        errorStrategy: "fallback", // Use fallback values on error
        parallel: true, // Execute commands in parallel
        // Output: "v1.0.0-main-abc1234"
      },
    }),
  ],
});

Multi-Command Options

| Option | Description | Type | Default | | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | -------- | | commands | Array of commands to execute. Can be strings or command config objects | (string \| CommandConfig)[] | - | | format | Template string with {alias} placeholders for formatting results | string | - | | separator | Default separator when no format template is provided | string | "-" | | errorStrategy | How to handle command failures: "strict", "skip", or "fallback" | string | "skip" | | parallel | Whether to execute commands in parallel for better performance | boolean | true |

Error Handling Strategies

  • strict: Any command failure will throw an error and stop the build
  • skip: Failed commands are skipped, their results are empty in the output
  • fallback: Use the fallback value specified in the command config when a command fails

Command Configuration

Each command can be configured with additional options:

interface CommandConfig {
  alias: string; // Alias for referencing in format template
  cmd: string; // The actual command to execute
  fallback?: string; // Fallback value if command fails
  timeout?: number; // Command timeout in milliseconds (default: 10000)
}

outputFile Configuration Option

If you want to enable it, you can set it to true, and it will create a file with the path .well-known/version and the content of the current version number in the relative build directory (dist for vite and .output/public for nuxt3).

Alternatively, it can be set to a function that takes the version number as a parameter and returns an object. This allows you to define the content information generated, for example:

// vite.config.ts
vitePluginVersionMark({
  // ...other options

  outputFile: (version) => ({
    path: 'custom/version.json',
    content: `{"version":"${version}"}`,
  })
}),

With this configuration, a file named custom/version.json will be generated, and its content will be {"version":"${current version number}"}.
