}

  • allowBreaking (boolean)

    Allow breaking updates (major releases).

    false by default

    Allow unstable updates (prereleases).

    false by default

  • readOnly (boolean)

    Perform a dry run.

    false by default

Stages

  • ⚠️ breaking

    “This update might break your code.”

  • 🚧 unstable

    “This is a prerelease and might therefore come with unwanted issues.”

  • 🤞 early

    “This module doesn’t strictly adhere to semver yet, so this version might break your code.”

Advanced Usage

  • Pin a dependency

    To ignore a particular import, you can append #pin to the url.

    import * as semver from 'https://deno.land/std@0.200.0/semver/mod.ts#pin'

  • Specify a version range

    To override the default behavior, you can append a SemVer range to the url.

    import cheetah from 'https://deno.land/x/cheetah@v1.5.2/mod.ts#~v1.5'
