How to get the current version of a composer dependency inside a php script?

Is there a way to get the current version of slim? Like a php code expression or such that would display the real version the script is currently running?

You can parse the composer.lock-file to get the version of that dependency.

$composerLock = json_decode(file_get_contents('composer.lock'));
foreach($composerLock->packages as $package) {
    if ($package->name == 'slim/slim') {
        $version = $package->version;
        break;
    }
}
echo $version;

In slim there is also a VERSION-constant on the App(v3.x) or Slim(v2.x) class

// 2.x
$app = \Slim\Slim;
$version = \Slim\Slim::VERSION;

// 3.x
$app = \Slim\App;
$version = \Slim\App::VERSION;
