Hi! Can anyone tell me how to read value of library version from libs.versions.toml in kotlin file [need to send lib-version to BE]?

This is what I have tried so far, but I will need the version value in a different module(app or core).

```class AndroidxComposeVersion : Plugin<Project> {

override fun apply(target: Project) {

target.version()

}

}

fun Project.version(): String {

val libs = extensions.getByType<VersionCatalogsExtension>().named("libs")

return libs.findVersion("androidxCompose").get().toString()

}```

Can't you just libs.versions.androidxCompose.get() ?

I can only see examples with this approach used in gradle files, what I need to do is take the version of a library and send it to the backend.

Actually I can have something like this buildConfigField "String", "COMPOSE_VERSION", "\"${libs.versions.androidxCompose.get()}\"" and in kotlin file I can use BuildConfig.COMPOSE_VERSION
Thanks for the suggestion!

Beware this will give you the declared version of the compose runtime. If any other library needs a more recent version, what you declare is not always what will end up being used at runtime
