react-git-info

Get git commit information in your React Application as a JavaScript object. No configuration necessary if you use create-react-app.

Usage

You need to install this repository as an NPM devDependency:

npm install --save-dev react-git-info

After that you can import the information to your static React files.

import GitInfo from 'react-git-info/macro';

const gitInfo = GitInfo();
console.log(gitInfo.branch);
console.log(gitInfo.tags);
console.log(gitInfo.commit.date);
console.log(gitInfo.commit.hash);
console.log(gitInfo.commit.message);
console.log(gitInfo.commit.shortHash);

// or from JSX
<p>{gitInfo.commit.message}</p>

TypeScript Support

There is built-in TypeScript support, you won't have to install external types.

How it works

This package uses a babel-plugin-macros macro that is preconfigured when you're using a recent version of create-react-app.
