Semver library that offers utilities, version constraint parsing and validation.
Originally written as part of composer/composer, now extracted and made available as a stand-alone library.
Install the latest version with:
$ composer require composer/semver- PHP 5.3.2 is required but using the latest version of PHP is highly recommended.
For details on how versions are compared, refer to the Versions article in the documentation section of the getcomposer.org website.
The Composer\Semver\Comparator class provides the following methods for comparing versions:
- greaterThan($v1, $v2)
- greaterThanOrEqualTo($v1, $v2)
- lessThan($v1, $v2)
- lessThanOrEqualTo($v1, $v2)
- equalTo($v1, $v2)
- notEqualTo($v1, $v2)
Each function takes two version strings as arguments and returns a boolean. For example:
use Composer\Semver\Comparator;
Comparator::greaterThan('1.25.0', '1.24.0'); // 1.25.0 > 1.24.0The Composer\Semver\Semver class provides the following methods:
- satisfies($version, $constraints)
- satisfiedBy(array $versions, $constraint)
- sort($versions)
- rsort($versions)
