I have a React Native app that I created using the command react-native init. I want to define a global constant for my APP_VERSION so that I can access it in the Authentication/Login screen.
Currently, the only place I see this variable is in my package.json file. Some other users seem to be trying to extract it from there too, but they are facing challenges as well.
My plan is to create a file called src/_global/utils.js with the following code:
import * as pkg from '.package.json';
export const APP_VERSION = pkg.version;
However, when attempting this approach, I encounter exceptions indicating that the module cannot be resolved. I also tried utilizing require('.package.json'), but that approach didn't work either.
Another method I came across looks like this:
var pkg = require('.package.json');Is there a way to successfully retrieve this version? Are there any cleaner alternatives to achieve this goal?
Thank you in advance.
