What are compare-version's main functionalities?

Compare Versions

This feature allows you to compare two version strings. The function returns -1 if the first version is less than the second, 1 if the first version is greater than the second, and 0 if they are equal.

const compareVersions = require('compare-versions');

console.log(compareVersions('1.0.0', '1.0.1')); // -1
console.log(compareVersions('1.0.1', '1.0.0')); // 1
console.log(compareVersions('1.0.0', '1.0.0')); // 0

Check if Version is Greater Than

This feature allows you to check if one version is greater than another using a comparison operator. It returns true if the condition is met, otherwise false.

const compareVersions = require('compare-versions');

console.log(compareVersions.compare('1.0.1', '1.0.0', '>')); // true
console.log(compareVersions.compare('1.0.0', '1.0.1', '>')); // false

Check if Version is Less Than

This feature allows you to check if one version is less than another using a comparison operator. It returns true if the condition is met, otherwise false.

const compareVersions = require('compare-versions');

console.log(compareVersions.compare('1.0.0', '1.0.1', '<')); // true
console.log(compareVersions.compare('1.0.1', '1.0.0', '<')); // false

Check if Version is Equal

This feature allows you to check if two versions are equal using a comparison operator. It returns true if the condition is met, otherwise false.

const compareVersions = require('compare-versions');

console.log(compareVersions.compare('1.0.0', '1.0.0', '=')); // true
console.log(compareVersions.compare('1.0.0', '1.0.1', '=')); // false
