Setup
This was made with:
- npm v8.19.4
- node v16.20.2
Install
yarn add flexible-version-compare
Usage
import versionCompare from 'flexible-version-compare'
const result = versionCompare('123.456.78.0.0', '45.ab');
Behaviour
Logic
For each part:
- If these parts are numbers, they are numerically compared.
- If only one is, the non numerical part is considered greater.
- If neither are, they are string compared
Compared from L->R, first greater part means that version string is greater.
If one string is longer than the other, the longer string is greater if it has any remaining non-zero part
Accepted Formats
Since there was no specified format for the input strings, it accepts a wide variety of types.
It works with anything matching this REGEX: /^[\w\s]+(\.[\w\s]+)*$/
It allows any 'word' character in the individual parts delimited by '.'
