How can I inject a build number with webpack?

Question

I\'d like to inject a build number and version information to my project as it\'s built with webpack. For example, so that my code can do something like:

var bui

You can use the DefinePlugin that will make your build info available inlined with your code:

Config

new webpack.DefinePlugin({
   __VERSION__: JSON.stringify('12345')
})

App code

console.log(__VERSION__);
