const prereleaseIdFromVersion = require('@lerna/prerelease-id-from-version');
const version = '1.0.0-alpha.1';
const prereleaseId = prereleaseIdFromVersion(version);
console.log(prereleaseId); // Output: 'alpha'The 'semver' package is a comprehensive library for parsing, validating, and comparing semantic versioning strings. It also includes functionality to extract prerelease identifiers, among many other features. Compared to @lerna/prerelease-id-from-version, 'semver' offers a broader range of versioning utilities.
Similar to 'semver', 'node-semver' is another package that provides extensive tools for working with semantic versioning. It includes methods for parsing versions, comparing them, and extracting prerelease identifiers. It is more feature-rich compared to @lerna/prerelease-id-from-version, which focuses solely on extracting prerelease identifiers.
