Answer 1

If you want the version number in your package.json, you can also do:

var pkg = require('./package.json');
console.log(pkg.version);

Answer 2

I used the following snippet to extract version info using package.json:

import PackageJson from '../../../package'    // where package is the package.json file

console.log('version', PackageJson.version)  

Hope it helps.
