What are the best practices for displaying version information in web applications?

Question

I am developing a web application.

What are the best practices for displaying version information in web applications?

I'm using semantic versioning and I already have semver e.g. 1.2.0

But I'm curious where is the best way to display it and how to manage it. I'm considering:

• Store the version in the "version" file.
• When the app is launched, read the content from the version file and display it in the version field of the "About" tab.

Is this method reasonable?

Are there any examples in jsfiddle or codepen on how to do this?

Thanks

Chaff

Yes, you can do it your way. Another way is to read the version

from the package.json file

import {version} from './package.json';

and use it in your About page.
