Does the build process for Particle OS devices include support for pre-processor macros that allow you to include Git meta-data in sourcecode.
For example, I would like to do something like:
Particle.publish("git-branch-name", __GITBRANCH__, 60, PRIVATE);
and have that publish the branch name of the repository that I am using to build my app.
If Git meta data isn’t supported by the build process, then what are the pre-processor macros/keywords available to me for tracking versions of my app?
I’d imagine you could make a shell script to generate a header file with the definitions you need and source the header file in your application.
How are you building?
Check out this demo I’ve made. It includes a script to generate the git metadata so it can be included in the application code.
This is awesome! No I just have to figure out how to have this script called automagically by po util!
You could make an alias or bash function to go in your ~/.bashrc to run the script and your po build command.
Example Bash function:
meta-build()
{
./generate
po photon build-beta
}
You could run the function whenever you’d normally build:
meta-build
