You're wanting to do some semver parsing and resolution, but nothing complicated. You are probably in a browser. The fantastic node-semver module does to much and/or you can't use polyfills. You have a very specific use case, but this module can help you!
- No pre-release or build version parsing whatsoever.
- Ranges are limited to simple combinations of version and wildcard. E.g.
'1.x'or'v1'will work, but'^1.0.0'will not.
semverLite.valid(version);
Returns true if the version is valid semver.
semverLite.maxSatisfying(versions, range);
Returns the greatest version that satisfies the range.
Nothing fancy, a range should look like an abbreviated version.
Valid ranges include:
var validRanges = ['1.1.x', 'v1', '=1', '1.x', '1', 'x1'];
Something like '1.x.3' does not work, that would be silly.
