semver(1) -- The semantic versioner for npm
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install semver
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
As a node module:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const semver = require('semver')
|
|
|
|
semver.valid('1.2.3') // '1.2.3'
|
|
semver.valid('a.b.c') // null
|
|
semver.clean(' =v1.2.3 ') // '1.2.3'
|
|
semver.satisfies('1.2.3', '1.x || >=2.5.0 || 5.0.0 - 7.2.3') // true
|
|
semver.gt('1.2.3', '9.8.7') // false
|
|
semver.lt('1.2.3', '9.8.7') // true
|
|
semver.minVersion('>=1.0.0') // '1.0.0'
|
|
semver.valid(semver.coerce('v2')) // '2.0.0'
|
|
semver.valid(semver.coerce('42.6.7.9.3-alpha')) // '42.6.7'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also just load the module for the function that you care about if
|
|
you'd like to minimize your footprint.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// load the whole API at once in a single object
|
|
const semver = require('semver')
|
|
|
|
// or just load the bits you need
|
|
// all of them listed here, just pick and choose what you want

|
|
// classes

Copyright Isaac Z. Schlueter
|
|
|
|
Usage: semver [options] <version> [<version> [...]]
|
|
Prints valid versions sorted by SemVer precedence
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-r --range <range>
|
|
Print versions that match the specified range.
|
|
|
|
-i --increment [<level>]
|
|
Increment a version by the specified level. Level can
|
|
be one of: major, minor, patch, premajor, preminor,
|
|
prepatch, or prerelease. Default level is 'patch'.
|
|
Only one version may be specified.
|
|
|
|
--preid <identifier>
|
|
Identifier to be used to prefix premajor, preminor,
|
|
prepatch or prerelease version increments.
|
|
|
|
-l --loose
|
|
Interpret versions and ranges loosely
|
|
|
|
-n <0|1>
|
|
This is the base to be used for the prerelease identifier.
|
|
|
|
-p --include-prerelease
|
|
Always include prerelease versions in range matching
|
|
|
|
-c --coerce
|
|
Coerce a string into SemVer if possible
|
|
(does not imply --loose)
|
|
|
|
--rtl
|
|
Coerce version strings right to left
|
|
|
|
--ltr
|
|
Coerce version strings left to right (default)
|
|
|
|
Program exits successfully if any valid version satisfies
|
|
all supplied ranges, and prints all satisfying versions.
|
|
|
|
If no satisfying versions are found, then exits failure.
|
|
|
|
Versions are printed in ascending order, so supplying
|
|
multiple versions to the utility will just sort them.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Versions
|
|
|
|
A "version" is described by the `v2.0.0` specification found at
|
|
<https://semver.org/>.
|
|
|
|
A leading `"="` or `"v"` character is stripped off and ignored.
|
|
|
|
## Ranges
|
|
|
|
A `version range` is a set of `comparators` that specify versions
|
|
that satisfy the range.
|
|
|
|
A `comparator` is composed of an `operator` and a `version`. The set
|
|
of primitive `operators` is:
|
|
|
|
* `<` Less than
|
|
* `<=` Less than or equal to
|
|
* `>` Greater than
|
|
* `>=` Greater than or equal to
|
|
* `=` Equal. If no operator is specified, then equality is assumed,
|
|
so this operator is optional but MAY be included.
|
|
|
|
For example, the comparator `>=1.2.7` would match the versions
|
|
`1.2.7`, `1.2.8`, `2.5.3`, and `1.3.9`, but not the versions `1.2.6`
|
|
or `1.1.0`. The comparator `>1` is equivalent to `>=2.0.0` and
|
|
would match the versions `2.0.0` and `3.1.0`, but not the versions
|
|
`1.0.1` or `1.1.0`.
|
|
|
|
Comparators can be joined by whitespace to form a `comparator set`,
|
|
which is satisfied by the **intersection** of all of the comparators
|
|
it includes.
|
|
|
|
A range is composed of one or more comparator sets, joined by `||`. A
|
|
version matches a range if and only if every comparator in at least
|
|
one of the `||`-separated comparator sets is satisfied by the version.
|
|
|
|
For example, the range `>=1.2.7 <1.3.0` would match the versions
|
|
`1.2.7`, `1.2.8`, and `1.2.99`, but not the versions `1.2.6`, `1.3.0`,
|
|
or `1.1.0`.
|
|
|
|
The range `1.2.7 || >=1.2.9 <2.0.0` would match the versions `1.2.7`,
|
|
`1.2.9`, and `1.4.6`, but not the versions `1.2.8` or `2.0.0`.
|
|
|
|
### Prerelease Tags
|
|
|
|
If a version has a prerelease tag (for example, `1.2.3-alpha.3`) then
|
|
it will only be allowed to satisfy comparator sets if at least one
|
|
comparator with the same `[major, minor, patch]` tuple also has a
|
|
prerelease tag.
|
|
|
|
For example, the range `>1.2.3-alpha.3` would be allowed to match the
|
|
version `1.2.3-alpha.7`, but it would *not* be satisfied by
|
|
`3.4.5-alpha.9`, even though `3.4.5-alpha.9` is technically "greater
|
|
than" `1.2.3-alpha.3` according to the SemVer sort rules. The version
|
|
range only accepts prerelease tags on the `1.2.3` version.
|
|
Version `3.4.5` *would* satisfy the range because it does not have a
|
|
prerelease flag, and `3.4.5` is greater than `1.2.3-alpha.7`.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this behavior is twofold. First, prerelease versions
|
|
frequently are updated very quickly, and contain many breaking changes
|
|
that are (by the author's design) not yet fit for public consumption.
|
|
Therefore, by default, they are excluded from range-matching
|
|
semantics.
|
|
|
|
Second, a user who has opted into using a prerelease version has
|
|
indicated the intent to use *that specific* set of
|
|
alpha/beta/rc versions. By including a prerelease tag in the range,
|
|
the user is indicating that they are aware of the risk. However, it
|
|
is still not appropriate to assume that they have opted into taking a
|
|
similar risk on the *next* set of prerelease versions.
|
|
|
|
Note that this behavior can be suppressed (treating all prerelease
|
|
versions as if they were normal versions, for range-matching)
|
|
by setting the `includePrerelease` flag on the options
|
|
object to any
|
|
[functions](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#functions) that do
|
|
range matching.
|
|
|
|
#### Prerelease Identifiers
|
|
|
|
The method `.inc` takes an additional `identifier` string argument that
|
|
will append the value of the string as a prerelease identifier:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
semver.inc('1.2.3', 'prerelease', 'beta')
|
|
// '1.2.4-beta.0'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
command-line example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ semver 1.2.3 -i prerelease --preid beta
|
|
1.2.4-beta.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which then can be used to increment further:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ semver 1.2.4-beta.0 -i prerelease
|
|
1.2.4-beta.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Prerelease Identifier Base
|
|
|
|
The method `.inc` takes an optional parameter 'identifierBase' string
|
|
that will let you let your prerelease number as zero-based or one-based.
|
|
Set to `false` to omit the prerelease number altogether.
|
|
If you do not specify this parameter, it will default to zero-based.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
semver.inc('1.2.3', 'prerelease', 'beta', '1')
|
|
// '1.2.4-beta.1'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
semver.inc('1.2.3', 'prerelease', 'beta', false)
|
|
// '1.2.4-beta'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
command-line example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ semver 1.2.3 -i prerelease --preid beta -n 1
|
|
1.2.4-beta.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ semver 1.2.3 -i prerelease --preid beta -n false
|
|
1.2.4-beta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Advanced Range Syntax
|
|
|
|
Advanced range syntax desugars to primitive comparators in
|
|
deterministic ways.
|
|
|
|
Advanced ranges may be combined in the same way as primitive
|
|
comparators using white space or `||`.
|
|
|
|
#### Hyphen Ranges `X.Y.Z - A.B.C`
|
|
|
|
Specifies an inclusive set.
|
|
|
|
* `1.2.3 - 2.3.4` := `>=1.2.3 <=2.3.4`
|
|
|
|
If a partial version is provided as the first version in the inclusive
|
|
range, then the missing pieces are replaced with zeroes.
|
|
|
|
* `1.2 - 2.3.4` := `>=1.2.0 <=2.3.4`
|
|
|
|
If a partial version is provided as the second version in the
|
|
inclusive range, then all versions that start with the supplied parts
|
|
of the tuple are accepted, but nothing that would be greater than the
|
|
provided tuple parts.
|
|
|
|
* `1.2.3 - 2.3` := `>=1.2.3 <2.4.0-0`
|
|
* `1.2.3 - 2` := `>=1.2.3 <3.0.0-0`
|
|
|
|
#### X-Ranges `1.2.x` `1.X` `1.2.*` `*`
|
|
|
|
Any of `X`, `x`, or `*` may be used to "stand in" for one of the
|
|
numeric values in the `[major, minor, patch]` tuple.
|
|
|
|
* `*` := `>=0.0.0` (Any non-prerelease version satisfies, unless
|
|
`includePrerelease` is specified, in which case any version at all
|
|
satisfies)
|
|
* `1.x` := `>=1.0.0 <2.0.0-0` (Matching major version)
|
|
* `1.2.x` := `>=1.2.0 <1.3.0-0` (Matching major and minor versions)
|
|
|
|
A partial version range is treated as an X-Range, so the special
|
|
character is in fact optional.
|
|
|
|
* `""` (empty string) := `*` := `>=0.0.0`
|
|
* `1` := `1.x.x` := `>=1.0.0 <2.0.0-0`
|
|
* `1.2` := `1.2.x` := `>=1.2.0 <1.3.0-0`
|
|
|
|
#### Tilde Ranges `~1.2.3` `~1.2` `~1`
|
|
|
|
Allows patch-level changes if a minor version is specified on the
|
|
comparator. Allows minor-level changes if not.
|
|
|
|
* `~1.2.3` := `>=1.2.3 <1.(2+1).0` := `>=1.2.3 <1.3.0-0`
|
|
* `~1.2` := `>=1.2.0 <1.(2+1).0` := `>=1.2.0 <1.3.0-0` (Same as `1.2.x`)
|
|
* `~1` := `>=1.0.0 <(1+1).0.0` := `>=1.0.0 <2.0.0-0` (Same as `1.x`)
|
|
* `~0.2.3` := `>=0.2.3 <0.(2+1).0` := `>=0.2.3 <0.3.0-0`
|
|
* `~0.2` := `>=0.2.0 <0.(2+1).0` := `>=0.2.0 <0.3.0-0` (Same as `0.2.x`)
|
|
* `~0` := `>=0.0.0 <(0+1).0.0` := `>=0.0.0 <1.0.0-0` (Same as `0.x`)
|
|
* `~1.2.3-beta.2` := `>=1.2.3-beta.2 <1.3.0-0` Note that prereleases in
|
|
the `1.2.3` version will be allowed, if they are greater than or
|
|
equal to `beta.2`. So, `1.2.3-beta.4` would be allowed, but
|
|
`1.2.4-beta.2` would not, because it is a prerelease of a
|
|
different `[major, minor, patch]` tuple.
|
|
|
|
#### Caret Ranges `^1.2.3` `^0.2.5` `^0.0.4`
|
|
|
|
Allows changes that do not modify the left-most non-zero element in the
|
|
`[major, minor, patch]` tuple. In other words, this allows patch and
|
|
minor updates for versions `1.0.0` and above, patch updates for
|
|
versions `0.X >=0.1.0`, and *no* updates for versions `0.0.X`.
|
|
|
|
Many authors treat a `0.x` version as if the `x` were the major
|
|
"breaking-change" indicator.
|
|
|
|
Caret ranges are ideal when an author may make breaking changes
|
|
between `0.2.4` and `0.3.0` releases, which is a common practice.
|
|
However, it presumes that there will *not* be breaking changes between
|
|
`0.2.4` and `0.2.5`. It allows for changes that are presumed to be
|
|
additive (but non-breaking), according to commonly observed practices.
|
|
|
|
* `^1.2.3` := `>=1.2.3 <2.0.0-0`
|
|
* `^0.2.3` := `>=0.2.3 <0.3.0-0`
|
|
* `^0.0.3` := `>=0.0.3 <0.0.4-0`
|
|
* `^1.2.3-beta.2` := `>=1.2.3-beta.2 <2.0.0-0` Note that prereleases in
|
|
the `1.2.3` version will be allowed, if they are greater than or
|
|
equal to `beta.2`. So, `1.2.3-beta.4` would be allowed, but
|
|
`1.2.4-beta.2` would not, because it is a prerelease of a
|
|
different `[major, minor, patch]` tuple.
|
|
* `^0.0.3-beta` := `>=0.0.3-beta <0.0.4-0` Note that prereleases in the
|
|
`0.0.3` version *only* will be allowed, if they are greater than or
|
|
equal to `beta`. So, `0.0.3-pr.2` would be allowed.
|
|
|
|
When parsing caret ranges, a missing `patch` value desugars to the
|
|
number `0`, but will allow flexibility within that value, even if the
|
|
major and minor versions are both `0`.
|
|
|
|
* `^1.2.x` := `>=1.2.0 <2.0.0-0`
|
|
* `^0.0.x` := `>=0.0.0 <0.1.0-0`
|
|
* `^0.0` := `>=0.0.0 <0.1.0-0`
|
|
|
|
A missing `minor` and `patch` values will desugar to zero, but also
|
|
allow flexibility within those values, even if the major version is
|
|
zero.
|
|
|
|
* `^1.x` := `>=1.0.0 <2.0.0-0`
|
|
* `^0.x` := `>=0.0.0 <1.0.0-0`
|
|
|
|
### Range Grammar
|
|
|
|
Putting all this together, here is a Backus-Naur grammar for ranges,
|
|
for the benefit of parser authors:
|
|
|
|
```bnf
|
|
range-set ::= range ( logical-or range ) *
|
|
logical-or ::= ( ' ' ) * '||' ( ' ' ) *
|
|
range ::= hyphen | simple ( ' ' simple ) * | ''
|
|
hyphen ::= partial ' - ' partial
|
|
simple ::= primitive | partial | tilde | caret
|
|
primitive ::= ( '<' | '>' | '>=' | '<=' | '=' ) partial
|
|
partial ::= xr ( '.' xr ( '.' xr qualifier ? )? )?
|
|
xr ::= 'x' | 'X' | '*' | nr
|
|
nr ::= '0' | ['1'-'9'] ( ['0'-'9'] ) *
|
|
tilde ::= '~' partial
|
|
caret ::= '^' partial
|
|
qualifier ::= ( '-' pre )? ( '+' build )?
|
|
pre ::= parts
|
|
build ::= parts
|
|
parts ::= part ( '.' part ) *
|
|
part ::= nr | [-0-9A-Za-z]+
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Functions
|
|
|
|
All methods and classes take a final `options` object argument. All
|
|
options in this object are `false` by default. The options supported
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
- `loose`: Be more forgiving about not-quite-valid semver strings.
|
|
(Any resulting output will always be 100% strict compliant, of
|
|
course.) For backwards compatibility reasons, if the `options`
|
|
argument is a boolean value instead of an object, it is interpreted
|
|
to be the `loose` param.
|
|
- `includePrerelease`: Set to suppress the [default
|
|
behavior](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#prerelease-tags) of
|
|
excluding prerelease tagged versions from ranges unless they are
|
|
explicitly opted into.
|
|
|
|
Strict-mode Comparators and Ranges will be strict about the SemVer
|
|
strings that they parse.
|
|
|
|
* `valid(v)`: Return the parsed version, or null if it's not valid.
|
|
* `inc(v, release, options, identifier, identifierBase)`:
|
|
Return the version incremented by the release
|
|
type (`major`, `premajor`, `minor`, `preminor`, `patch`,
|
|
`prepatch`, or `prerelease`), or null if it's not valid
|
|
* `premajor` in one call will bump the version up to the next major
|
|
version and down to a prerelease of that major version.
|
|
`preminor`, and `prepatch` work the same way.
|
|
* If called from a non-prerelease version, `prerelease` will work the
|
|
same as `prepatch`. It increments the patch version and then makes a
|
|
prerelease. If the input version is already a prerelease it simply
|
|
increments it.
|
|
* `identifier` can be used to prefix `premajor`, `preminor`,
|
|
`prepatch`, or `prerelease` version increments. `identifierBase`
|
|
is the base to be used for the `prerelease` identifier.
|
|
* `prerelease(v)`: Returns an array of prerelease components, or null
|
|
if none exist. Example: `prerelease('1.2.3-alpha.1') -> ['alpha', 1]`
|
|
* `major(v)`: Return the major version number.
|
|
* `minor(v)`: Return the minor version number.
|
|
* `patch(v)`: Return the patch version number.
|
|
* `intersects(r1, r2, loose)`: Return true if the two supplied ranges
|
|
or comparators intersect.
|
|
* `parse(v)`: Attempt to parse a string as a semantic version, returning either
|
|
a `SemVer` object or `null`.
|
|
|
|
### Comparison
|
|
|
|
* `gt(v1, v2)`: `v1 > v2`
|
|
* `gte(v1, v2)`: `v1 >= v2`
|
|
* `lt(v1, v2)`: `v1 < v2`
|
|
* `lte(v1, v2)`: `v1 <= v2`
|
|
* `eq(v1, v2)`: `v1 == v2` This is true if they're logically equivalent,
|
|
even if they're not the same string. You already know how to
|
|
compare strings.
|
|
* `neq(v1, v2)`: `v1 != v2` The opposite of `eq`.
|
|
* `cmp(v1, comparator, v2)`: Pass in a comparison string, and it'll call
|
|
the corresponding function above. `"==="` and `"!=="` do simple
|
|
string comparison, but are included for completeness. Throws if an
|
|
invalid comparison string is provided.
|
|
* `compare(v1, v2)`: Return `0` if `v1 == v2`, or `1` if `v1` is greater, or `-1` if
|
|
`v2` is greater. Sorts in ascending order if passed to `Array.sort()`.
|
|
* `rcompare(v1, v2)`: The reverse of `compare`. Sorts an array of versions
|
|
in descending order when passed to `Array.sort()`.
|
|
* `compareBuild(v1, v2)`: The same as `compare` but considers `build` when two versions
|
|
are equal. Sorts in ascending order if passed to `Array.sort()`.
|
|
* `compareLoose(v1, v2)`: Short for `compare(v1, v2, { loose: true })`.
|
|
* `diff(v1, v2)`: Returns the difference between two versions by the release type
|
|
(`major`, `premajor`, `minor`, `preminor`, `patch`, `prepatch`, or `prerelease`),
|
|
or null if the versions are the same.
|
|
|
|
### Sorting
|
|
|
|
* `sort(versions)`: Returns a sorted array of versions based on the `compareBuild`
|
|
function.
|
|
* `rsort(versions)`: The reverse of `sort`. Returns an array of versions based on
|
|
the `compareBuild` function in descending order.
|
|
|
|
### Comparators
|
|
|
|
* `intersects(comparator)`: Return true if the comparators intersect
|
|
|
|
### Ranges
|
|
|
|
* `validRange(range)`: Return the valid range or null if it's not valid
|
|
* `satisfies(version, range)`: Return true if the version satisfies the
|
|
range.
|
|
* `maxSatisfying(versions, range)`: Return the highest version in the list
|
|
that satisfies the range, or `null` if none of them do.
|
|
* `minSatisfying(versions, range)`: Return the lowest version in the list
|
|
that satisfies the range, or `null` if none of them do.
|
|
* `minVersion(range)`: Return the lowest version that can match
|
|
the given range.
|
|
* `gtr(version, range)`: Return `true` if the version is greater than all the
|
|
versions possible in the range.
|
|
* `ltr(version, range)`: Return `true` if the version is less than all the
|
|
versions possible in the range.
|
|
* `outside(version, range, hilo)`: Return true if the version is outside
|
|
the bounds of the range in either the high or low direction. The
|
|
`hilo` argument must be either the string `'>'` or `'<'`. (This is
|
|
the function called by `gtr` and `ltr`.)
|
|
* `intersects(range)`: Return true if any of the range comparators intersect.
|
|
* `simplifyRange(versions, range)`: Return a "simplified" range that
|
|
matches the same items in the `versions` list as the range specified. Note
|
|
that it does *not* guarantee that it would match the same versions in all
|
|
cases, only for the set of versions provided. This is useful when
|
|
generating ranges by joining together multiple versions with `||`
|
|
programmatically, to provide the user with something a bit more
|
|
ergonomic. If the provided range is shorter in string-length than the
|
|
generated range, then that is returned.
|
|
* `subset(subRange, superRange)`: Return `true` if the `subRange` range is
|
|
entirely contained by the `superRange` range.
|
|
|
|
Note that, since ranges may be non-contiguous, a version might not be
|
|
greater than a range, less than a range, *or* satisfy a range! For
|
|
example, the range `1.2 <1.2.9 || >2.0.0` would have a hole from `1.2.9`
|
|
until `2.0.0`, so version `1.2.10` would not be greater than the
|
|
range (because `2.0.1` satisfies, which is higher), nor less than the
|
|
range (since `1.2.8` satisfies, which is lower), and it also does not
|
|
satisfy the range.
|
|
|
|
If you want to know if a version satisfies or does not satisfy a
|
|
range, use the `satisfies(version, range)` function.
|
|
|
|
### Coercion
|
|
|
|
* `coerce(version, options)`: Coerces a string to semver if possible
|
|
|
|
This aims to provide a very forgiving translation of a non-semver string to
|
|
semver. It looks for the first digit in a string and consumes all
|
|
remaining characters which satisfy at least a partial semver (e.g., `1`,
|
|
`1.2`, `1.2.3`) up to the max permitted length (256 characters). Longer
|
|
versions are simply truncated (`4.6.3.9.2-alpha2` becomes `4.6.3`). All
|
|
surrounding text is simply ignored (`v3.4 replaces v3.3.1` becomes
|
|
`3.4.0`). Only text which lacks digits will fail coercion (`version one`
|
|
is not valid). The maximum length for any semver component considered for
|
|
coercion is 16 characters; longer components will be ignored
|
|
(`10000000000000000.4.7.4` becomes `4.7.4`). The maximum value for any
|
|
semver component is `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER || (2**53 - 1)`; higher value
|
|
components are invalid (`9999999999999999.4.7.4` is likely invalid).
|
|
|
|
If the `options.rtl` flag is set, then `coerce` will return the right-most
|
|
coercible tuple that does not share an ending index with a longer coercible
|
|
tuple. For example, `1.2.3.4` will return `2.3.4` in rtl mode, not
|
|
`4.0.0`. `1.2.3/4` will return `4.0.0`, because the `4` is not a part of
|
|
any other overlapping SemVer tuple.
|
|
|
|
If the `options.includePrerelease` flag is set, then the `coerce` result will contain
|
|
prerelease and build parts of a version. For example, `1.2.3.4-rc.1+rev.2`
|
|
will preserve prerelease `rc.1` and build `rev.2` in the result.
|
|
|
|
### Clean
|
|
|
|
* `clean(version)`: Clean a string to be a valid semver if possible
|
|
|
|
This will return a cleaned and trimmed semver version. If the provided
|
|
version is not valid a null will be returned. This does not work for
|
|
ranges.
|
|
|
|
ex.
|
|
* `s.clean(' = v 2.1.5foo')`: `null`
|
|
* `s.clean(' = v 2.1.5foo', { loose: true })`: `'2.1.5-foo'`
|
|
* `s.clean(' = v 2.1.5-foo')`: `null`
|
|
* `s.clean(' = v 2.1.5-foo', { loose: true })`: `'2.1.5-foo'`
|
|
* `s.clean('=v2.1.5')`: `'2.1.5'`
|
|
* `s.clean(' =v2.1.5')`: `'2.1.5'`
|
|
* `s.clean(' 2.1.5 ')`: `'2.1.5'`
|
|
* `s.clean('~1.0.0')`: `null`
|
|
|
|
## Constants
|
|
|
|
As a convenience, helper constants are exported to provide information about what `node-semver` supports:
|
|
|
|
### `RELEASE_TYPES`
|
|
|
|
- major
|
|
- premajor
|
|
- minor
|
|
- preminor
|
|
- patch
|
|
- prepatch
|
|
- prerelease
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
const semver = require('semver');
|
|
|
|
if (semver.RELEASE_TYPES.includes(arbitraryUserInput)) {
|
|
console.log('This is a valid release type!');
|
|
} else {
|
|
console.warn('This is NOT a valid release type!');
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `SEMVER_SPEC_VERSION`
|
|
|
|
2.0.0
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
const semver = require('semver');
|
|
|
|
console.log('We are currently using the semver specification version:', semver.SEMVER_SPEC_VERSION);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Exported Modules
|
|
|
|
<!--
|
|
TODO: Make sure that all of these items are documented (classes aren't,
|
|
eg), and then pull the module name into the documentation for that specific
|
|
thing.
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
You may pull in just the part of this semver utility that you need if you
|
|
are sensitive to packing and tree-shaking concerns. The main
|
|
`require('semver')` export uses getter functions to lazily load the parts
|
|
of the API that are used.
