Use from Javascript

If you are using jQuery, AngularJS, WinJS or any Promise/A library (Bluebird), promise style is supported. Use something like:

cordova.getAppVersion.getVersionNumber().then(function (version) {
    $('.version').text(version);
});

If not, pass a callback function:

cordova.getAppVersion.getVersionNumber(function (version) {
    alert(version);
});

In addition to the version number you can also retrieve other details about your application:

getAppName

Returns the name of the app. E.g. "My Awesome App"

getPackageName

Returns the package name of the app - the reversed domain name app identifier like com.example.myawesomeapp

getVersionCode

Returns the build identifier of the app

getVersionNumber
