Lightweight alternative to semver, supporting absolute versions only
The semver npm package is big, weighing in at 88.2 kB (with one dependency, weighing 53.9 kB).
It's big because it has a lot of features, like:
These features are great; they're what power npm and let us specify version ranges in our package.json
s.
However, if you only need to compare two version strings, like so:
const semver = require("semver");
semver.gte(process.version, "8.0.0");
Then pulling in all of semver is a little unnecessary.
That's where @suchipi/femver
comes in; it's a lightweight alternative to semver
, which only supports comparing absolute versions (eg 1.2.0
, not >= 1.0.0
).
/**
* Reports whether `version` is a valid (absolute) semantic version string.
*/
export function isValid(version: string): boolean;
/**
* Parses `version` into an object containing major, minor, and patch properties.
*/
export function parse(version: string): {
major: number;
minor: number;
patch: number;
};
/**
* Returns whether `firstVersion` is less than `secondVersion`.
*/
export function lt(firstVersion: string, secondVersion: string): boolean;
/**
* Returns whether `firstVersion` is less than or equal to `secondVersion`.
*/
export function lte(firstVersion: string, secondVersion: string): boolean;
/**
* Returns whether `firstVersion` is greater than `secondVersion`.
*/
export function gt(firstVersion: string, secondVersion: string): boolean;
/**
* Returns whether `firstVersion` is greater than or equal to `secondVersion`.
*/
export function gte(firstVersion: string, secondVersion: string): boolean;
/**
* Returns whether `firstVersion` is equal to `secondVersion`.
*/
export function eq(firstVersion: string, secondVersion: string): boolean;
const femver = require("@suchipi/femver");
// or:
// import * as femver from "@suchipi/femver";
femver.gte(process.version, "8.0.0");
