compare

Version-comparison primitives: equality, strict ordering, range satisfaction, and sort utilities.

compare, eq, lt, lte, gt, gte, and neq are the basic ordering operators over SemVer values. satisfies, satisfiesComparator, maxSatisfying, and minSatisfying answer range-membership and best-fit questions against Range and Comparator shapes. sort and sortDescending produce stable orderings; max and min are the convenience reductions. Behavior is fully spec-compliant with semver precedence, including the prerelease tie-breaker rules.

API Reference§

ƒ Functions

§function

compare(a: SemVer, b: SemVer): -1 | 0 | 1

Compares two semantic versions.

§b	`SemVer`	Second version

Returns

-1 | 0 | 1

-1 if a < b, 0 if a == b, 1 if a > b

Example

Compare two semantic versions
compare(parseVersion('1.0.0'), parseVersion('2.0.0')) // -1
compare(parseVersion('1.0.0'), parseVersion('1.0.0')) // 0
