A golang library for parsing npm versions

go-npm-version

go-npm-version is a library for parsing npm versions and version constraints, and verifying versions against a set of constraints. go-npm-version can sort a collection of versions properly, handles prerelease versions, etc.

Versions used with go-npm-version must follow Semantic Versioning. Constraints used with go-npm-version must follow npm rules.

Usage

Version Parsing and Comparison

See example

v1, _ := npm.NewVersion("1.2.3-alpha")
v2, _ := npm.NewVersion("1.2.3")

// Comparison example. There is also GreaterThan, Equal, and just
// a simple Compare that returns an int allowing easy >=, <=, etc.
if v1.LessThan(v2) {
	fmt.Printf("%s is less than %s", v1, v2)
}

Version Constraints

See example

v, _ := npm.NewVersion("2.1.0")
c, _ := npm.NewConstraints(">= 1.0, < 1.4 || > 2.0")

if c.Check(v) {
	fmt.Printf("%s satisfies constraints '%s'", v, c)
}

Version Sorting

See example

versionsRaw := []string{"1.1.0", "0.7.1", "1.4.0-alpha", "1.4.0-beta", "1.4.0", "1.4.0-alpha.1"}
versions := make([]npm.Version, len(versionsRaw))
for i, raw := range versionsRaw {
	v, _ := npm.NewVersion(raw)
	versions[i] = v
}

// After this, the versions are properly sorted
sort.Sort(npm.Collection(versions))

CLI

Build

$ go build -o version cmd/version/main.go

Compare

$ ./version compare 0.1.2 0.1.3
-1

Constraint

$ ./version satisfy 0.1.2 ">0.1.1"
true

Status

go-npm-version doesn't support a range of versions yet.

• ^ (e.g. ^0.13.0)
• ~ (e.g. ~0.13.0)
• >
• >=
• <
• <=
• =
• - (e.g. 2.1.0 - 2.6.2)
• || (e.g. < 2.1 || > 2.6)
