How to access buildId/build hash at runtime?
I've been trying to figure out how to access the build id/hash on the server side at runtime, so that I can build something from the client side to detect when a new version of my code has been released (e.g., expose the build hash via server API, periodically query it or build a websocket to monitor for change, etc.). Anyone know how to do this?
The only things I've been able to find in this vein require either (1) hardcoding the buildId via config, or (2) intercepting, overriding, and storing the default hash generation in the "build:before" lifecycle hook. I'm hoping there's just a simpler, out-of-the-box way to access the existing generated ID.
Thanks in advance!

Are you looking for something like the
app:manifest:update hook? From the Nuxt docs:
Called when there is a newer version of your app detected.Behind the hook there is actually just a request to
_nuxt/builds/latest.json and if the id changed, the hook gets triggered: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/blob/f78da087df40e08f2e9239be10a11a75fac07db8/packages/nuxt/src/app/plugins/check-outdated-build.client.ts
You can also define the interval, if the default one of 1 hour is not fitting: https://nuxt.com/docs/api/nuxt-config#checkoutdatedbuildintervalGitHub

Oh interesting! Hadn't seen that hook before, will have to take a look - thanks!
