Updating package.json version with incremented build number

I have a node.js project building, and want to auto-increment the version in package.json, based on AppVeyor build number.

Is there a best practice to follow when doing this?

appveyor.yml has:
version: 1.0.{build}

package.json has:
 "version": "1.0.0",

And I'd like to somehow insert the AppVeyor version in package.json during the build.

I'm guessing maybe call 'npm version' with some templated parameter which contains the build version?

Thanks!

   Hi Kirk,

   Yes, I remember other customers did something like this:

   - npm version %APPVEYOR_BUILD_VERSION% -m 'v%APPVEYOR_BUILD_VERSION%'
