[feature request] Share VERSION of the package in client

[trivikr]

trafficstars

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• In v2, the version of the package can be viewed by printing VERSION as follows:

const AWS = require("aws-sdk");
console.log(AWS.VERSION);

• As v3 is modular, there's no equivalent global package as per design, and the client package doesn't have key storing it's version number

Describe the solution you'd like

• The client object prints it's version in VERSION as follows:

const { S3 } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3");
console.log(S3.VERSION);

• This applies to the barebones client too:

const { S3Client } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3");
console.log(S3Client.VERSION);

Describe alternatives you've considered Running npm list <PACKAGE_NAME> to get the version number in the minimal repro repository as follows:

$ npm list @aws-sdk/client-s3
└─ @aws-sdk/[email protected]

Alternatives is requesting importing package.json directly.

CJS

const { version } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3/package.json");
console.log(version);

MJS has two options

Use createRequire to require package.json

import { createRequire } from "module"
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url)
const { version } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3/package.json");

console.log(version);

Default import using import assertions

import packageJson from "@aws-sdk/client-s3/package.json" assert { type: "json" };

console.log(packageJson.version);

Verified that:

• createRequire was added in v12.x: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v12.x/api/module.html#module_module_createrequire_filename
• import.meta.url is present in v14.x: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v14.x/api/esm.html#esm_import_meta_url

For anyone who comes across this, Lambda team recommended to import version from @aws-sdk/client-s3/package.json as mentioned in this docs.

const { version } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3/package.json");

exports.handler = async () => ({ version });

Closing the issue.
