Function based off of app version in package.json

Question

I would like to run a function based of the version of my node-webkit app from the package.json file. How do I get this version number?

I'm not talking about:

process.versions['node-webkit'];

Which just shows the node-webkit version.

Answer 1

You can get the manifest as an object in nw, using App. Just extract the version there:

var gui = require('nw.gui');
var myAppVersion = gui.App.manifest.version;
