Get App Name And Version In Angular
How to read or display the name and version of your application in Angular without duplicating these information
I share one trick a day until the end of the COVID-19 quarantine in Switzerland, April 19th 2020. Twenty-height days left until hopefully better days.
Today, Sunday, I had to upgrade an application I’ve developed last year with Ionic and Angular because my client seems to finally have decided to publish it in stores (better start without technical debt 😉).
I’ve to say, the update process to Angular v9 and Ionic v5 went just smoothly. It took me a bit more time to upgrade the Cordova plugins, specially the one dedicated to Firebase, but fortunately I found the solution shared by his maintainer, Dave Alden, who always does an outstanding job.
Once done, I was still facing one last issue. I didn’t touched the app in months and meanwhile, Google Analytics had been really deprecated and I was not able anymore to build my platform because the corresponding plugin was outdated.
Instead of finding the solution, I just removed my old GA implementation and migrated to the new Firebase Analytics implementation in less time than expected.
