App version

[dlee]

How can I tell which version of Appgini I used to generate a web app?

I. Javascript
I.1 In Browser
In new versions there is a version-property which you can evaluate in javascript, for example in console prompt of your browser's developer tools:

Code: Select all

AppGini.version

I.2 In Code
Open common.js. In new versions there should be a version-initialization around line 3:

Code: Select all

AppGini.version = 22.14;

---

II. PHP
II.1 At Runtime

In new versions there is a PHP constant APP_VERSION, defined in definitions.php:

Code: Select all

@define('APP_VERSION', '22.14');

You can use the constant in any of your PHP files, for example output the version in the browser like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- file: hooks/header-extras.php -->
<script>
    modal_window({
        title: 'AppGini Version',
        message: 'v.<?= APP_VERSION ?>'
    });
</script>

II.2 In Code

You can also check code-comments in generated PHP cocde, for example open any of your TABLENAME_dml.php files and see the comments in the first couple of lines:

Code: Select all

<?php
// ...
// This script and data application were generated by AppGini 22.14
// ...

Or simply search all your project files for the string "were generated by AppGini".

III. Project file (*.axp)

Open your project file (which actually is XML) in your text-editor (not in AppGini itself) and search for <version>

PS: I know BigProf has inserted version information a while ago. I don't know for older versions. If you are using an older version, probably a 5.x version, you could try searching your files for 5. and check if there are any code comments, generated by that older version. I have just opened an older project and found code comments like this one which means at least since 5.72 there should be code such comments:

Code: Select all

// This script and data application were generated by AppGini 5.72

Does anyone know for older versions?

Hope this helps.
