Semver - a more flexible semantic versioning package
This semver
package allows comparison of semantic versions strings in Go. It builds on Go's standard semver module by adding support for:
- Versions with or without the
v
prefix (e.g.,v1.2.3
and1.2.3
). - Mixed comparisons between prefixed and non-prefixed versions.
- Sorting and finding the maximum version from a list of semantic versions.
Installation
To install the package, run:
go get github.com/axllent/semver
Usage
if semver.Compare("1.0.1", "1.0.0") == 1 { // higher
//...
}
if semver.Compare("1.0.1", "1.0.1-beta") == 1 { // higher
//...
}
fmt.Println(semver.Max("v1.0.1", "v1.0.1-beta"))
// Output: v1.0.1
versions := []string{"5.0.0", "v5.1.0", "5.1.0-beta", "v1.2.3"}
fmt.Println(semver.SortMax(versions))
// Output: [v5.1.0 5.1.0-beta 5.0.0 v1.2.3]
