/** * The semantic version parser. * * Adapted directly from {@link https://github.com/npm/node-semver | semver}. * * ## Versions * * A "version" is described by the `v2.0.0` specification found at * <https://semver.org>. * * A leading `"="` or `"v"` character is stripped off and ignored. * * ## Format * * Semantic versions can be formatted as strings, by default they * are formatted as `full`. Below is a diagram showing the various * formatting options. * * ``` * ┌───── full * ┌───┴───┐ * ├───────── release * ┌───┴───┐ │ * ├───────────── primary * ┌─┴─┐ │ │ * 1.2.3-pre.1+b.1 * │ │ │ └─┬─┘ └┬┘ * │ │ │ │ └── build * │ │ │ └─────── pre * │ │ └─────────── patch * │ └───────────── minor * └─────────────── major * ``` * * ## Ranges * * A `version range` is a set of `comparators` which specify versions that satisfy * the range. * * A `comparator` is composed of an `operator` and a `version`. The set of * primitive `operators` is: * * - `<` Less than * - `<=` Less than or equal to * - `>` Greater than * - `>=` Greater than or equal to * - `=` Equal. If no operator is specified, then equality is assumed, so this * operator is optional, but MAY be included. * * For example, the comparator `>=1.2.7` would match the versions `1.2.7`, `1.2.8`, * `2.5.3`, and `1.3.9`, but not the versions `1.2.6` or `1.1.0`. * * Comparators can be joined by whitespace to form a `comparator set`, which is * satisfied by the **intersection** of all of the comparators it includes. * * A range is composed of one or more comparator sets, joined by `||`. A version * matches a range if and only if every comparator in at least one of the * `||`-separated comparator sets is satisfied by the version. * * For example, the range `>=1.2.7 <1.3.0` would match the versions `1.2.7`, * `1.2.8`, and `1.2.99`, but not the versions `1.2.6`, `1.3.0`, or `1.1.0`. * * The range `1.2.7 || >=1.2.9 <2.0.0` would match the versions `1.2.7`, `1.2.9`, * and `1.4.6`, but not the versions `1.2.8` or `2.0.0`. * * ### Prerelease Tags * * If a version has a prerelease tag (for example, `1.2.3-alpha.3`) then it will * only be allowed to satisfy comparator sets if at least one comparator with the * same `[major, minor, patch]` tuple also has a prerelease tag. * * For example, the range `>1.2.3-alpha.3` would be allowed to match the version * `1.2.3-alpha.7`, but it would _not_ be satisfied by `3.4.5-alpha.9`, even though * `3.4.5-alpha.9` is technically "greater than" `1.2.3-alpha.3` according to the * SemVer sort rules. The version range only accepts prerelease tags on the `1.2.3` * version. The version `3.4.5` _would_ satisfy the range, because it does not have * a prerelease flag, and `3.4.5` is greater than `1.2.3-alpha.7`. * * The purpose for this behavior is twofold. First, prerelease versions frequently * are updated very quickly, and contain many breaking changes that are (by the * author"s design) not yet fit for public consumption. Therefore, by default, they * are excluded from range matching semantics. * * Second, a user who has opted into using a prerelease version has clearly * indicated the intent to use _that specific_ set of alpha/beta/rc versions. By * including a prerelease tag in the range, the user is indicating that they are * aware of the risk. However, it is still not appropriate to assume that they have * opted into taking a similar risk on the _next_ set of prerelease versions. * * #### Prerelease Identifiers * * The method `.increment` takes an additional `identifier` string argument that * will append the value of the string as a prerelease identifier: * * ```javascript * semver.increment(parse("1.2.3"), "prerelease", "beta"); * // "1.2.4-beta.0" * ``` * * ### Build Metadata * * Build metadata is `.` delimited alpha-numeric string. * When parsing a version it is retained on the `build: string[]` field * of the semver instance. When incrementing there is an additional parameter that * can set the build metadata on the semver instance. * * ### Advanced Range Syntax * * Advanced range syntax desugars to primitive comparators in deterministic ways. * * Advanced ranges may be combined in the same way as primitive comparators using * white space or `||`. * * #### Hyphen Ranges `X.Y.Z - A.B.C` * * Specifies an inclusive set. * * - `1.2.3 - 2.3.4` := `>=1.2.3 <=2.3.4` * * If a partial version is provided as the first version in the inclusive range, * then the missing pieces are replaced with zeroes. * * - `1.2 - 2.3.4` := `>=1.2.0 <=2.3.4` * * If a partial version is provided as the second version in the inclusive range, * then all versions that start with the supplied parts of the tuple are accepted, * but nothing that would be greater than the provided tuple parts. * * - `1.2.3 - 2.3` := `>=1.2.3 <2.4.0` * - `1.2.3 - 2` := `>=1.2.3 <3.0.0` * * #### X-Ranges `1.2.x` `1.X` `1.2.*` `*` * * Any of `X`, `x`, or `*` may be used to "stand in" for one of the numeric values * in the `[major, minor, patch]` tuple. * * - `*` := `>=0.0.0` (Any version satisfies) * - `1.x` := `>=1.0.0 <2.0.0` (Matching major version) * - `1.2.x` := `>=1.2.0 <1.3.0` (Matching major and minor versions) * * A partial version range is treated as an X-Range, so the special character is in * fact optional. * * - `""` (empty string) := `*` := `>=0.0.0` * - `1` := `1.x.x` := `>=1.0.0 <2.0.0` * - `1.2` := `1.2.x` := `>=1.2.0 <1.3.0` * * #### Tilde Ranges `~1.2.3` `~1.2` `~1` * * Allows patch-level changes if a minor version is specified on the comparator. * Allows minor-level changes if not. * * - `~1.2.3` := `>=1.2.3 <1.(2+1).0` := `>=1.2.3 <1.3.0` * - `~1.2` := `>=1.2.0 <1.(2+1).0` := `>=1.2.0 <1.3.0` (Same as `1.2.x`) * - `~1` := `>=1.0.0 <(1+1).0.0` := `>=1.0.0 <2.0.0` (Same as `1.x`) * - `~0.2.3` := `>=0.2.3 <0.(2+1).0` := `>=0.2.3 <0.3.0` * - `~0.2` := `>=0.2.0 <0.(2+1).0` := `>=0.2.0 <0.3.0` (Same as `0.2.x`) * - `~0` := `>=0.0.0 <(0+1).0.0` := `>=0.0.0 <1.0.0` (Same as `0.x`) * - `~1.2.3-beta.2` := `>=1.2.3-beta.2 <1.3.0` Note that prereleases in the * `1.2.3` version will be allowed, if they are greater than or equal to * `beta.2`. So, `1.2.3-beta.4` would be allowed, but `1.2.4-beta.2` would not, * because it is a prerelease of a different `[major, minor, patch]` tuple. * * #### Caret Ranges `^1.2.3` `^0.2.5` `^0.0.4` * * Allows changes that do not modify the left-most non-zero element in the * `[major, minor, patch]` tuple. In other words, this allows patch and minor * updates for versions `1.0.0` and above, patch updates for versions * `0.X >=0.1.0`, and _no_ updates for versions `0.0.X`. * * Many authors treat a `0.x` version as if the `x` were the major * "breaking-change" indicator. * * Caret ranges are ideal when an author may make breaking changes between `0.2.4` * and `0.3.0` releases, which is a common practice. However, it presumes that * there will _not_ be breaking changes between `0.2.4` and `0.2.5`. It allows for * changes that are presumed to be additive (but non-breaking), according to * commonly observed practices. * * - `^1.2.3` := `>=1.2.3 <2.0.0` * - `^0.2.3` := `>=0.2.3 <0.3.0` * - `^0.0.3` := `>=0.0.3 <0.0.4` * - `^1.2.3-beta.2` := `>=1.2.3-beta.2 <2.0.0` Note that prereleases in the * `1.2.3` version will be allowed, if they are greater than or equal to * `beta.2`. So, `1.2.3-beta.4` would be allowed, but `1.2.4-beta.2` would not, * because it is a prerelease of a different `[major, minor, patch]` tuple. * - `^0.0.3-beta` := `>=0.0.3-beta <0.0.4` Note that prereleases in the `0.0.3` * version _only_ will be allowed, if they are greater than or equal to `beta`. * So, `0.0.3-pr.2` would be allowed. * * When parsing caret ranges, a missing `patch` value desugars to the number `0`, * but will allow flexibility within that value, even if the major and minor * versions are both `0`. * * - `^1.2.x` := `>=1.2.0 <2.0.0` * - `^0.0.x` := `>=0.0.0 <0.1.0` * - `^0.0` := `>=0.0.0 <0.1.0` * * A missing `minor` and `patch` values will desugar to zero, but also allow * flexibility within those values, even if the major version is zero. * * - `^1.x` := `>=1.0.0 <2.0.0` * - `^0.x` := `>=0.0.0 <1.0.0` * * ### Range Grammar * * Putting all this together, here is a Backus-Naur grammar for ranges, for the * benefit of parser authors: * * ```bnf * range-set ::= range ( logical-or range ) * * logical-or ::= ( " " ) * "||" ( " " ) * * range ::= hyphen | simple ( " " simple ) * | "" * hyphen ::= partial " - " partial * simple ::= primitive | partial | tilde | caret * primitive ::= ( "<" | ">" | ">=" | "<=" | "=" ) partial * partial ::= xr ( "." xr ( "." xr qualifier ? )? )? * xr ::= "x" | "X" | "*" | nr * nr ::= "0" | ["1"-"9"] ( ["0"-"9"] ) * * tilde ::= "~" partial * caret ::= "^" partial * qualifier ::= ( "-" pre )? ( "+" build )? * pre ::= parts * build ::= parts * parts ::= part ( "." part ) * * part ::= nr | [-0-9A-Za-z]+ * ``` * * Note that, since ranges may be non-contiguous, a version might not be greater * than a range, less than a range, _or_ satisfy a range! For example, the range * `1.2 <1.2.9 || >2.0.0` would have a hole from `1.2.9` until `2.0.0`, so the * version `1.2.10` would not be greater than the range (because `2.0.1` satisfies, * which is higher), nor less than the range (since `1.2.8` satisfies, which is * lower), and it also does not satisfy the range. * * If you want to know if a version satisfies or does not satisfy a range, use the * {@linkcode satisfies} function. * * This module is browser compatible. * * @example * ```ts * import { * parse, * parseRange, * greaterThan, * lessThan, * format * } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/semver/mod.ts"; * * const semver = parse("1.2.3"); * const range = parseRange("1.x || >=2.5.0 || 5.0.0 - 7.2.3"); * * const s0 = parse("1.2.3"); * const s1 = parse("9.8.7"); * greaterThan(s0, s1); // false * lessThan(s0, s1); // true * * format(semver) // "1.2.3" * ``` * * @module */export * from "./compare.ts";export * from "./constants.ts";export * from "./difference.ts";export * from "./format.ts";export * from "./test_range.ts";export * from "./increment.ts";export * from "./is_semver.ts";export * from "./max_satisfying.ts";export * from "./min_satisfying.ts";export * from "./parse_range.ts";export * from "./parse.ts";export * from "./range_intersects.ts";export * from "./range_max.ts";export * from "./range_min.ts";export * from "./types.ts";export * from "./try_parse_range.ts";export * from "./is_range.ts";export * from "./can_parse.ts";export * from "./try_parse.ts";export * from "./format_range.ts";export * from "./equals.ts";export * from "./not_equals.ts";export * from "./greater_than.ts";export * from "./greater_or_equal.ts";export * from "./less_than.ts";export * from "./less_or_equal.ts";
