Get version number from package.json in React Redux (create-react-app)

by

Solving this without importing and exposing package.json to the create-react-app

Requires: version 1.1.0+ of create-react-app

.env

REACT_APP_VERSION=$npm_package_version
REACT_APP_NAME=$npm_package_name

index.js

console.log(`${process.env.REACT_APP_NAME} ${process.env.REACT_APP_VERSION}`)

Note: the version (and many other npm config params) can be accessed

Note 2: changes to the .env file will be picked only after you restart the development server
