function getMagentoModuleVersion(string $moduleName): string
{
    $objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
    $componentreg = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrarInterface');
    $register=$objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\Filesystem\Directory\ReadFactory');
    
    $path = $componentreg->getPath(
        ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
        $moduleName
    );
    $directoryRead = $register->create($path);
    $composerJsonData = '';
    if ($directoryRead->isFile('composer.json')) {
        $composerJsonData = $directoryRead->readFile('composer.json');
    }
