Semantic Versioning

One version is enough to identify how old this work is!

Using this function is very simple! Just use the Textify.Versioning namespace in any piece of code you want to use the function, as in: using Textify.Versioning;

To parse your semantic version string, for example, 1.0.0-alpha1 or 1.0.0.0-alpha1, you must define a variable that has the type of SemVer. Assign a variable so that it calls the SemVer.Parse(), SemVer.ParseWithoutRev(), or the SemVer.ParseWithRev() version, passing it your version string, like this:

SemVer semVer = SemVer.Parse(version);

• Use Parse() if you want to be able to parse either the full or the 3-component versions.

• Use ParseWithoutRev() if you want to only parse the 3-component versions.

• Use ParseWithRev() if you want to only parse the full versions.

Once the parser finishes parsing your semantic version string, it returns a class contains necessary information about your version:

• Major version (MajorVersion, int)

• Minor version (MinorVersion, int)

• Patch version (PatchVersion, int)

• Revision version (RevisionVersion, int)

• Pre-Release info (PreReleaseInfo, string)

• Build metadata (BuildMetadata, string)

As for the equality operators, this class supports the following operators (assuming that SemVer a has version 1.0.0 and SemVer b has version 1.0.1):

• ==: Checks to see if both SemVer versions are equal.

• !=: Checks to see if both SemVer versions are opposite to each other.

• <: Checks to see if a is older than b

• >: Checks to see if a is newer than b

• <=: Checks to see if a is older or equal to b

• >=: Checks to see if a is newer or equal to b
