Determine current Angular 2.x version

Question

In Angular 1.x you can determine the current version in runtime using angular.version.

Is there anything similar in angular 2.x? I have searched the ng, ng.core, ng.common and ng.compiler objects without any luck.

Maybe have a look inside @angular/upgrade module. Something like this could be there. — martin

As of this commit included in Angular 2.3.0-rc0 and up, you can use the VERSION const from @angular/core.

import { Component, VERSION } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'angular-version',
  template: '<p>Version: {{version}}</p>'
})
export class VersionComponent {
  version: string = VERSION.full;
}

Live example

If you just need to get the version in the dev tools, try something like

document.querySelector('[ng-version]').getAttribute('ng-version')

or inspect the app-root element.
