Semantic
A small Ruby utility class to aid in the storage, parsing, and comparison of SemVer-style Version strings.
See the SemVer site for more details.
Usage
This library exposes a single class โ Semantic::Version. Simply pass in a valid SemVer string to
the initializer.
require 'semantic'
version = Semantic::Version.new '1.6.5'
version.major # => 1
version.minor # => 6
version.patch # => 5
newer_version = Semantic::Version.new '1.7.0'
version > newer_version # => false
newer_version <=> version # => 1
complex_version = Semantic::Version.new '3.7.9-pre.1+revision.15723'
complex_version.pre # => "pre.1"
complex_version.build # => "revision.15623"
# semantic supports Pessimistic Operator
version.satisfies? '~> 1.5' # => true
version.satisfies? '~> 1.6.0' # => true
# incrementing version numbers
version = Semantic::Version.new('0.1.0')
new_version = version.increment!(:major) # 1.1.0
new_version = version.increment!(:minor) # 0.2.0
new_version = version.increment!(:patch) # 0.1.1
new_version = version.major! # 1.1.0
new_version = version.minor! # 0.2.0
new_version = version.patch! # 0.1.1
# (note: increment! & friends return a copy and leave the original unchanged)There is also a set of core extensions as an optional require:
require 'semantic'
