How to Find out Version of Magento 2 Programmatically

In this tutorial, Today I will explain to how to find out version of Magento 2 Programmatically. As we all know, Magento is biggest open source e-commerce platform. They are upgrading their version with new functionalities and fix bugs. So, when we develop a module or any other custom functionality we may need to change some logics of code in file for specific versions.

At that time, we need to compare current version of Magento 2 in source code. Then, how we can get Magento 2 version programmatically

1) Dependency Injection Method :

Using dependency injection method, You need to inject \Magento\Framework\App\ProductMetadataInterface class in the constructor of file. You can use this below code in your any PHP files.

Copy Code


/**
 * Created By : Rohan Hapani
 */

/**
 * @var \Magento\Framework\App\ProductMetadataInterface
 */
protected $productMetadata;
 
public function __construct(
    ...
    \Magento\Framework\App\ProductMetadataInterface $productMetadata
    ...
) {
    ...
    $this->productMetadata = $productMetadata;
    ...
}
 
public function getMagentoVersion()
{
    return $this->productMetadata->getVersion();
}

2) Object Manager Method :

You can also use object manager method in your source code file. But, I do not recommend to use object manager method. Always use dependency injection method.

Copy Code


/**
 * Created By : Rohan Hapani
 */
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();  
$productMetadata = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\App\ProductMetadataInterface'); 
echo $productMetadata->getVersion();

That’s it !!

Now, Just Remove generated and clean cache.
