VersionRange

A range of versions that are acceptable

While not directly described in SemVer v2.0.0, a common set of range operators have appeared among package managers. We mostly NPM's: https://semver.npmjs.com/

Hence the acceptable forms for this string are as follows:

"1.0.0" - a single version in SemVer format
"==1.0.0" - alternative single version notation
">1.0.0" - version range with a single bound
">1.0.0 <2.0.0" - version range with two bounds
"~>1.0.0" - a fuzzy version range
"~>1.0" - a fuzzy version range with partial version
"^1.0.0" - semver compatible version range (same version if 0.x.y, ==major >=minor.patch if x.y.z)
"^1.0" - same as ^1.0.0
"~master" - a branch name
"*" - match any version (see also VersionRange.Any`)

Apart from "<" and ">", ">=" and "<=" are also valid comparators.

Functions

isValid bool isValid(): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
matches bool matches(Version v, VersionMatchMode mode): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
matchesAny bool matchesAny(): Determines if this dependency specification matches arbitrary versions. This is true in particular for the any constant.
merge void merge(VersionRange o): Modify in place
opCmp int opCmp(VersionRange o)
toString string toString(): Returns a string representation of this range

Properties

isExactVersion bool isExactVersion [@property getter]: Returns true iff the version range only matches a specific version.

Static functions

Static variables

Any auto Any;: Matches any version
