What are the best practices for displaying version information in web applications?

Question

I'm developing a web application. What are the best practices for displaying version information in web applications? I'm using semantic versioning and I already have semver like 1.2.0 but I'm curious where is the best way to display it and how to manage it. What I'm thinking about: storing the version in a "version" file. When the app is launched, the content is read from the version file and displayed in the version field of the About tab. Is this approach reasonable? Are there any examples in jsfiddle or codepen on how to do this? Thanks

Yes, you can do it your way. Another way is to read the version

from the package.json file

import {version} from './package.json';

and use it in your About page.
