Install

or use deno to run it without installation:

deno run https://cdn.deno.land/semver_compare_cli/versions/v2.0.0/raw/semver-compare.js

Usage

Direct comparison

For a direct comparison of two versions the following exit codes are possible:

0 versions are equal
1 the first version is larger than the second version
2 the first version is smaller than the second version

Example, exit code is 2 because the first version is smaller than the second version:

semver-compare 1.0.0 1.0.1

Comparison with predicate

For a comparison with a predicate the following exit codes are possible:

0 predicate applies to the comparison of the two version
1 predicate doesn’t apply

The following predicates are supported that shall be placed between the two version numbers:

eq: equal
ge: greater than or equal
gt: greater than
le: lower than or equal
lt: lower than

Example, exit code is 1 because the first version is smaller than the second version:

semver-compare 1.0.0 ge 1.0.1
