Semver range matching

Write satisfies(version, range), which returns true when the version is inside the range and false otherwise, following the rules of npm's semver package with its default options.

A version is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH with an optional -PRERELEASE of dot-separated identifiers. No leading v, no build metadata, no leading zeros in numeric parts. An invalid version returns false.

A range is one or more comparator sets joined by ||; it holds when any set holds. A set is comparators separated by spaces and holds when all of them do.

Support =, <, <=, >, >= and a bare version; x-ranges where minor or patch is x, X, * or missing (1.x, 1.2, *); the empty range, which means *; tilde (~1.2.3 is >=1.2.3 <1.3.0, ~1 is >=1.0.0 <2.0.0); caret, which allows changes that do not touch the left-most non-zero part (^1.2.3 is >=1.2.3 <2.0.0, ^0.2.3 is >=0.2.3 <0.3.0, ^0.0.3 is >=0.0.3 <0.0.4); and hyphen ranges A - B, inclusive, where a partial B rounds up (1.2.3 - 2.3 is >=1.2.3 <2.4.0).

Prerelease precedence follows semver: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-alpha.1 < 1.0.0-alpha.beta < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-rc.2 < 1.0.0-rc.10 < 1.0.0.

A version with a prerelease only satisfies a set if some comparator in that set also has a prerelease on the same MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. So 1.2.3-beta.2 satisfies ^1.2.3-beta.1, but 1.2.4-beta.1 does not, and no prerelease satisfies *.

Signature

function satisfies(version, range)

Public examples

  • satisfies("1.4.0", "^1.2.3") gives true
  • satisfies("1.2.3", ">1.2.3") gives false
  • satisfies("1.2.3-beta", "1.2.x") gives false
