@types/semver

What is @types/semver?

The @types/semver package provides TypeScript type definitions for the semver package, which is a utility for handling semantic versions. It allows developers to parse, compare, and manipulate semantic versions in TypeScript projects with type safety.

What are @types/semver's main functionalities?

Parsing a version

This feature allows you to parse a semantic version string and access its components, such as the major, minor, and patch versions.

"import semver from 'semver';\nconst version = semver.parse('1.2.3');\nconsole.log(version.major); // 1"

Comparing versions

This feature enables you to compare two semantic version strings and determine their order.

"import semver from 'semver';\nconst result = semver.compare('1.2.3', '1.2.4');\nconsole.log(result); // -1"

Satisfying ranges

This functionality allows you to check if a semantic version satisfies a given version range.

"import semver from 'semver';\nconst satisfied = semver.satisfies('1.2.3', '^1.0.0');\nconsole.log(satisfied); // true"

Other packages similar to @types/semver

compare-versions

This package provides functionality for comparing version numbers. While it offers similar version comparison capabilities, it lacks the broader feature set of semver, such as range checking and version parsing.

version-compare

A simple package for comparing version strings. It is more lightweight than semver but does not support semantic versioning's pre-release and build metadata.
