We made Leaflet importable without the need to bundle it. When I understand your changes correctly, the version would be now never be exported in an unbundled import

And the preprocessors will be removed as soon Firefox implements json import

Changing the import to import pkg from '../package.json' with { type: 'json' } causes the entire package.json to end up in the leaflet-src.js as well as leaflet.js bundle.

Is not ideal, that is true

True. Sorry, I did not consider "Leaflet importable without the need to bundle it" for this PR.

L.version is being used, of course: https://github.com/search?q=leaflet+L.version&type=code

What about writing a version.json file during the build process? I'm happy to look into that...

There should be a better way to do this, but I have no other idea ... How are doing this other repos?

@jonkoops any ideas how we can export the version without including the whole package.json? #9609 (comment)

Here's what OpenLayers is doing: https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/blob/5a8bd452e8a7a0fe55cab268cdceb0b642985fdc/tasks/set-version.js updates export const VERSION in https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/blob/5a8bd452e8a7a0fe55cab268cdceb0b642985fdc/src/ol/util.js#L36

@simon04 okay thank you. Can you prepare something similar?
