version-range

Check version ranges like >=N and X || Y || Z with support for Node.js, Web Browsers, Deno, and TypeScript.

Usage

Complete API Documentation.

Range comparison of versions for the most common use cases. Fast with broad ecosystem support.

import satisfies from 'version-range'
console.log(satisfies('1.0', '>=1.0')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0', '1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0', '1 || 2')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.1.0', '^1.1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.1.0', '~1.1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0.0', '5 || <=2')) // true

console.log(satisfies('1', '<=2')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0', '<=2')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0.0', '<=2')) // true

console.log(satisfies('2', '>1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('2', '>=1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1', '>=1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0', '>=1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0.0', '>=1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1', '>=1.0.0')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0', '>=1.0.0')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0.0', '>=1.0.0')) // true

console.log(satisfies('1', '^1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1', '~1')) // false, not all 1.x versions (1.1, 1.2, etc) match 1.0.x
console.log(satisfies('1', '^1.1')) // false, not all 1.x versions (1.0) match >=1.1<2
console.log(satisfies('1', '~1.1')) // false, not all 1.x versions (1.0) match 1.1.x
console.log(satisfies('1.0.0', '^1')) // true
console.log(satisfies('1.0.0', '~1')) // true

The above results are expected, but not what the semver package returns. The semver package has two different behaviours based on whether the version is coerced or not, alternating between expected and unexpected results. This package differs to match our actual expectations, as you can see above.

Doesn't do special handling for -releaseTag and 0.x versions.
