Can you please look at the github project link ?

I did my research about alfresco and made a simple documentation. Have a look at the code below:

Step 3) Create a file node-header.get.js with the following under

/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/com/someco/components/node-details

<import resource="classpath:/alfresco/templates/org/alfresco/import/alfresco-util.js">
var nodeDetails = AlfrescoUtil.getNodeDetails(model.nodeRef, model.site, null, model.libraryRoot);
var count = nodeDetails.item.node.properties["cm:autoVersion"];

if (count != undefined)
