Webiny-js: Feature request: Show version of webiny

Feature request: Show what version of Webiny that is published

Thoughts about location (/admin):

• API Information
• at the very bottom, e.g. webiny.com v4.9.2

@AlbionaHoti

I'm halfway there, I've successfully added the current version to the bottom left on /admin but I'm a bit confused about API information part.

[AlbionaHoti]

@parshnt please reach out if you have any questions on our slack community.

@AlbionaHoti I have some questions about this.

1. Where exactly I can find the version of webiny in the project? I found some version fields in package.json of some packages in api
2. I also found the last released version from CHANGELOG.md. Should I use that?
3. Where do I need to show the version of webiny? In the admin app/or the actual website that will be published?

Hey @aloks98, thanks for asking these questions.

1. We should first try to add a REACT_APP_WEBINY_VERSION variable to our bundling process. Something similar to this project-utils/bundling. As the CLI version will always be the same as other package versions, so it's safe to add it there.
2. Inside this file you can import the version like this:

 const { version } = require("@webiny/project-utils/package.json");

1. Ideally we want the version shown somewhere in the navigation, at the very bottom. For example,

Please let me know if you have more question :slightly_smiling_face:

[aloks98]

Hey @Ashu96 I have made some changes!

One more thing, the process.env.REACT_APP_WEBINY_VERSION will be static? If it's static we have to change it with every version release.
If I may suggest, we can change the version in the package.json of the admin or webiny package (wherever the version is updated) and pull it from there into the bundling process?

[Ashu96]

Nice work @aloks98

I don't get why process.env.REACT_APP_WEBINY_VERSION will be static if we're setting it to the package version we're importing like:

 const { version } = require("@webiny/project-utils/package.json");

as mentioned in the earlier comment.

ps: Please use community slack for faster response.

[aloks98]

Oh okay I missed that part xD I will change that now and make a PR :D
