flexible-version-compare v1.0.1

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 '.'
