mversion - A cross packaging manager module version handler

Updated April 26th 2014 to reflect module changes

I use npm version to bump versions on NPM modules and creating tags (https://coderwall.com/p/9bx-iq). But when working on a module that also is a Bower component, I can't use npm version, so I have to manually bump versions in both package.json and component.json. This is a tedious task, even if only using component.json.

I developed mversion to help me automate this task. mversion works almost the same as npm version does.

Supported module configurations

  • package.json
  • npm-shrinkwrap.json
  • component.json
  • bower.json
  • manifest.json
  • *.jquery.json (jquery plugin files, e.g plugin.jquery.json)

Usage

Install by using NPM:

npm install -g mversion

See usage of mversion by doing mversion -h.

Usage: mversion [ <newversion> | major | minor | patch | build ] [ -m <optional message> ]
(run in package dir).

Update module version in both package.json and component.json.

Run without arguments to get current version.

# Update version
Update version by defining new semver valid version
or a release string (major, minor, patch, build).
--
Ex: "mversion minor"
Ex: "mversion 1.0.1-beta"
--

# Git
Use -m to auto commit and tag. Apply optional message and
use '%s' as placeholder for the updated version. Default
message is 'v%s' where %s is replaced with new version.
--
Ex: "mversion minor -m"
Ex: "mversion minor -m 'Bumped to v%s'"
--

Examples

$ mversion patch
New Version: 0.0.6
Updated package.json
Updated component.json

$ mversion 0.0.5 -m
New Version: 0.0.5
Updated package.json
Updated component.json
Updated someplugin.jquery.json

Commited to git and created tag v0.0.5


$ mversion 1.0.0-rc1 -m "Now in wopping v%s"
New Version: 1.0.0-rc1
Updated package.json
Updated component.json
Commited to git and created tag v1.0.0-rc1
