Package semver provides the ability to work with Semantic Versions (http://semver.org) in Go.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Specifically it provides the ability to:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Parse semantic versions
|
||
|
- Sort semantic versions
|
||
|
- Check if a semantic version fits within a set of constraints
|
||
|
- Optionally work with a `v` prefix
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Parsing Semantic Versions
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are two functions that can parse semantic versions. The `StrictNewVersion`
|
||
|
function only parses valid version 2 semantic versions as outlined in the
|
||
|
specification. The `NewVersion` function attempts to coerce a version into a
|
||
|
semantic version and parse it. For example, if there is a leading v or a version
|
||
|
listed without all 3 parts (e.g. 1.2) it will attempt to coerce it into a valid
|
||
|
semantic version (e.g., 1.2.0). In both cases a `Version` object is returned
|
||
|
that can be sorted, compared, and used in constraints.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When parsing a version an optional error can be returned if there is an issue
|
||
|
parsing the version. For example,
|
||
|
|
||
|
v, err := semver.NewVersion("1.2.3-beta.1+b345")
|
||
|
|
||
|
The version object has methods to get the parts of the version, compare it to
|
||
|
other versions, convert the version back into a string, and get the original
|
||
|
string. For more details please see the documentation
|
||
|
at https://godoc.org/github.com/Masterminds/semver.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Sorting Semantic Versions
|
||
|
|
||
|
A set of versions can be sorted using the `sort` package from the standard library.
|
||
|
For example,
|
||
|
|
||
|
raw := []string{"1.2.3", "1.0", "1.3", "2", "0.4.2",}
|
||
|
vs := make([]*semver.Version, len(raw))
|
||
|
for i, r := range raw {
|
||
|
v, err := semver.NewVersion(r)
|
||
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
t.Errorf("Error parsing version: %s", err)
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
vs[i] = v
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
sort.Sort(semver.Collection(vs))
|
||
|
|
||

# Checking Version Constraints and Comparing Versions
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are two methods for comparing versions. One uses comparison methods on
|
||
|
`Version` instances and the other is using Constraints. There are some important
|
||
|
differences to notes between these two methods of comparison.
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. When two versions are compared using functions such as `Compare`, `LessThan`,
|
||
|
and others it will follow the specification and always include prereleases
|
||
|
within the comparison. It will provide an answer valid with the comparison
|
||
|
spec section at https://semver.org/#spec-item-11
|
||
|
2. When constraint checking is used for checks or validation it will follow a
|
||
|
different set of rules that are common for ranges with tools like npm/js
|
||
|
and Rust/Cargo. This includes considering prereleases to be invalid if the
|
||
|
ranges does not include on. If you want to have it include pre-releases a
|
||
|
simple solution is to include `-0` in your range.
|
||
|
3. Constraint ranges can have some complex rules including the shorthard use of
|
||
|
~ and ^. For more details on those see the options below.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are differences between the two methods or checking versions because the
|
||
|
comparison methods on `Version` follow the specification while comparison ranges
|
||
|
are not part of the specification. Different packages and tools have taken it
|
||
|
upon themselves to come up with range rules. This has resulted in differences.
|
||
|
For example, npm/js and Cargo/Rust follow similar patterns which PHP has a
|
||
|
different pattern for ^. The comparison features in this package follow the
|
||
|
npm/js and Cargo/Rust lead because applications using it have followed similar
|
||
|
patters with their versions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Checking a version against version constraints is one of the most featureful
|
||
|
parts of the package.
|
||
|
|
||
|
c, err := semver.NewConstraint(">= 1.2.3")
|
||
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
// Handle constraint not being parsable.
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
v, err := semver.NewVersion("1.3")
|
||
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
// Handle version not being parsable.
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
// Check if the version meets the constraints. The a variable will be true.
|
||
|
a := c.Check(v)
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Basic Comparisons
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are two elements to the comparisons. First, a comparison string is a list
|
||
|
of comma or space separated AND comparisons. These are then separated by || (OR)
|
||
|
comparisons. For example, `">= 1.2 < 3.0.0 || >= 4.2.3"` is looking for a
|
||
|
comparison that's greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than 3.0.0 or is
|
||
|
greater than or equal to 4.2.3. This can also be written as
|
||
|
`">= 1.2, < 3.0.0 || >= 4.2.3"`
|
||
|
|
||
|
The basic comparisons are:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `=`: equal (aliased to no operator)
|
||
|
- `!=`: not equal
|
||
|
- `>`: greater than
|
||
|
- `<`: less than
|
||
|
- `>=`: greater than or equal to
|
||
|
- `<=`: less than or equal to
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Hyphen Range Comparisons
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are multiple methods to handle ranges and the first is hyphens ranges.
|
||
|
These look like:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `1.2 - 1.4.5` which is equivalent to `>= 1.2, <= 1.4.5`
|
||
|
- `2.3.4 - 4.5` which is equivalent to `>= 2.3.4 <= 4.5`
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Wildcards In Comparisons
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `x`, `X`, and `*` characters can be used as a wildcard character. This works
|
||
|
for all comparison operators. When used on the `=` operator it falls
|
||
|
back to the tilde operation. For example,
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `1.2.x` is equivalent to `>= 1.2.0 < 1.3.0`
|
||
|
- `>= 1.2.x` is equivalent to `>= 1.2.0`
|
||
|
- `<= 2.x` is equivalent to `<= 3`
|
||
|
- `*` is equivalent to `>= 0.0.0`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Tilde Range Comparisons (Patch)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The tilde (`~`) comparison operator is for patch level ranges when a minor
|
||
|
version is specified and major level changes when the minor number is missing.
|
||
|
For example,
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `~1.2.3` is equivalent to `>= 1.2.3 < 1.3.0`
|
||
|
- `~1` is equivalent to `>= 1, < 2`
|
||
|
- `~2.3` is equivalent to `>= 2.3 < 2.4`
|
||
|
- `~1.2.x` is equivalent to `>= 1.2.0 < 1.3.0`
|
||
|
- `~1.x` is equivalent to `>= 1 < 2`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Caret Range Comparisons (Major)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The caret (`^`) comparison operator is for major level changes once a stable
|
||
|
(1.0.0) release has occurred. Prior to a 1.0.0 release the minor versions acts
|
||
|
as the API stability level. This is useful when comparisons of API versions as a
|
||
|
major change is API breaking. For example,
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `^1.2.3` is equivalent to `>= 1.2.3, < 2.0.0`
|
||
|
- `^1.2.x` is equivalent to `>= 1.2.0, < 2.0.0`
|
||
|
- `^2.3` is equivalent to `>= 2.3, < 3`
|
||
|
- `^2.x` is equivalent to `>= 2.0.0, < 3`
|
||
|
- `^0.2.3` is equivalent to `>=0.2.3 <0.3.0`
|
||
|
- `^0.2` is equivalent to `>=0.2.0 <0.3.0`
|
||
|
- `^0.0.3` is equivalent to `>=0.0.3 <0.0.4`
|
||
|
- `^0.0` is equivalent to `>=0.0.0 <0.1.0`
|
||
|
- `^0` is equivalent to `>=0.0.0 <1.0.0`
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Validation
|
||
|
|
||
|
In addition to testing a version against a constraint, a version can be validated
|
||
|
against a constraint. When validation fails a slice of errors containing why a
|
||
|
version didn't meet the constraint is returned. For example,
|
||
|
|
||
|
c, err := semver.NewConstraint("<= 1.2.3, >= 1.4")
|
||
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
// Handle constraint not being parseable.
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
v, _ := semver.NewVersion("1.3")
|
||
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
// Handle version not being parseable.
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Validate a version against a constraint.
|
||
|
a, msgs := c.Validate(v)
|
||
|
// a is false
|
||
|
for _, m := range msgs {
|
||
|
fmt.Println(m)
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Loops over the errors which would read
|
||
|
// "1.3 is greater than 1.2.3"
|
||
|
// "1.3 is less than 1.4"
|
||
|
}
