How to access module version in Crystal Lang?

Question

I see that a frequent convention is to add a file often named version.cr or named after the module it is attached to. Inside of that file, there is a definition of the module with VERSION = "[semver]". How can I access that version?

Answer 1

Using the namespace operator ::, this can be achieved with Module::VERSION where Module is the name of the module you're trying to access it from.
