how to parse package.json version for github "gh release" tag?-CodePudding

I want to create a single command that would do following:

increase the package.json version (I could do this by running npm version patch)
create Github release with that version as tag (not sure how to achieve this step?)

Brownie points if I could supply patch/minor/major flag while running the command so that npm version _flag_ runs instead of always patching.

I'm using gh package https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_release_create

CodePudding user response：

To get the version node -pe "require('./package.json').version"

A script with optional argument as asked, if no args this will do a patch. Then launch interactive release creation with the new version

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    action="patch"
else
    case $1 in
        minor | major | patch)
            action=$1
            ;;
        *)
            echo "Unknow $1 command"
            return -1
            ;;
    esac
fi
npm version $action
version=`node -pe "require('./package.json').version"`

echo "new version $version"
gh release create $version
