How to check Angular2 version with typescript

Question

I have written a simple app with [email protected], and it works great. Now that I am testing it with the latest version of the alpha and beta avaible on npm, and I keep wondering if I really really changed or I am caching something.

I want to do something like the below on my root component

export class ChromeComponent {    ngOnInit() {     console.log('angular version');   } } 

angular.version on the console return undefined

Update since 4.0.0-rc.1

Version is added for root selector in the DOM

Since angular2 version 2.3.0-rc.0 you can get version as follows:

import { VERSION } from '@angular/core';  export class AppComponent {    constructor() {     console.log(VERSION.full); // print 2.3.0-rc.0   } } 

Or you can just open browser console and check body tag
