Nuxt access git version or hash at build time and use in page

Question

I have a Nuxt/Vue app that I am deploying through Netlify. I'm trying to inject the git version number and hash into the body of the page. I'm assuming there is a pretty straightforward way to do this (but I don't know what it is!).

Answer 1

In package.json, you can pass the commit hash before call Nuxt:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "NUXT_ENV_CURRENT_GIT_SHA=`git rev-parse --short HEAD` nuxt",
  ...
},

Then, you can recover the value anywhere with process.env.NUXT_ENV_CURRENT_GIT_SHA.
