practicalmeteor:build-info

Overview

A meteor build plugin that adds the following fields to a global BuildInfo object, both server side and client side:

BuildInfo.buildNumber

The CI (continuous integration) build number, if it exists, or 0, if it doesn't.

Checks for the following environment variables:

• BUILD_NUMBER (Jenkins)
• CI_BUILD_NUMBER (Codeship)
• CIRCLE_BUILD_NUM
• TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER
• DRONE_BUILD_NUMBER

Stored as an integer.

BuildInfo.buildDate

The date and time at which the meteor app was built, stored as a string in simplified extended ISO 8601 format.

Data from build-info.json

Any data found in build-info.json is added to BuildInfo too.

Usage

Create a build-info.json file in the root of your meteor app. It can be either an empty json or include any data you want to add to BuildInfo.

I recommend you add at least an appVersion field, in semver format (i.e. 1.0.0), that you should update from time to time.

Alternatively, you can also add the build-info.json file from a package, using:

addFiles('build-info.json');

Roadmap / Please Contribute

• Support the following placeholder substitutions in build-info.json:

  • Environment variable substitution, in the bash like format: ${ENV_VAR_NAME}

  • Command substitution, in the bash like format: $(cmd)

• Predefined support for more more git, github and CI related properties, such as repo name, branch name, commit hash, committer, etc.

• Support specifying server only properties in build-info.json
