Setting package version
# package-developments

01/22/2025, 5:00 PMHi all, sorry if this has been asked before (i did a quick naive search but didn't find anything) - regarding the umbraco-package.json file for v14/15 and it's "Version" (https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/customizing/umbraco-package#version) parameter - this seems to indicate that it should/must be inline with the version of the Nuget package being distributed. Is there any guidance on how to make that happen or is it a case where we need to have a step in the build pipeline to parse/replace this JSON with the version of the package being built?

01/26/2025, 4:49 AMWe do this with a build target in the static assets project file - using JsonPathUpdateValue from Umbraco.JsonSchema.Extensions. A few lines of config, no code to maintain at the expense of a small dependency.

Install the Umbraco.JsonSchema.Extensions package (https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.JsonSchema.Extensions) and add the following to your project file (adjust where needed ofcourse, I read the VersionPrefix for instance):
Copy code
xml
<Target Name="UpdateUmbracoPackageJsonVersion" AfterTargets="Build">
<JsonPathUpdateValue
JsonFile="$(ProjectDir)wwwroot\App_Plugins\Example\umbraco-package.json"
Path="$.version"
Value=""$(VersionPrefix)"" />
<Message Text="Updated umbraco-package.json version to $(VersionPrefix)." Importance="High" />
