This is a tool for generating a file into your Ember build artifacts which contains your app version.

The was motivated by wanting to check the version of a build artifact without needing complex parsing of the minified JS or the index.html file.

Add this as a devDependency:

yarn add ember-cli-app-version-file -D

or

npm install ember-cli-app-version-file --save-dev

Then configure your Ember environment:

ENV.appVersion: {
  enabled: true,             // Enable/disable per environment
  showCreateDate: false      // Toggles whether a timestamp is also published
  version: '1.0.0'           // The value which is written to the file
  outputFile: '/version.txt' // The path and filename to write
}

After running ember build, you should now have a version.txt in your ./dist directory containing the text 1.0.0.

Enabling showCreateDate will also include a timestamp for when the build was created.

This was heavily cribbed from broccoli-manifest.
