It would be great if alloy had this ability.\r\n\r\nI tried doing it via manipulation of config.json in alloy.jmk, but pre-compile is invoked further into the compile process.\r\n\r\nA hook where I could do this would be great:\r\n\r\n{code}\r\ntask(\"pre:true-precompile\",function(event,logger){\r\n   var now = new Date();\r\n\r\n    // Either this ....\r\n    event.alloyConfig.buildDate = now.toUTCString();\r\n\r\n    // ... or this\r\n    var fs = require('fs');\r\n    fs.readFile(event.dir.project + '/app/config.json', function(err, data) {\r\n    \tvar config = JSON.parse( data );\r\n\r\n    \tconfig.global.buildDate = now.toUTCString();\r\n\r\n    \tvar newConfig = JSON.stringify( config, null, 4);\r\n\r\n    \tfs.writeFile(event.dir.project + '/app/config.json', newConfig, function (err) {\r\n\t\t  if (err) throw err;\r\n\t\t  logger.info('New config.json saved.');\r\n\t\t}); \r\n\t});\r\n\r\n});\r\n{code}",
