##
Constructor Detail

def self.new(major : Int, minor : Int, patch : Int, prerelease : String | Prerelease | Nil = nil, build : String | Nil = nil) #

Creates a new `SemanticVersion` instance with the given major, minor, and patch versions and optionally build and pre-release version

Raises `ArgumentError` if prerelease is invalid pre-release version

def self.parse(str : String) : self #

Parses a `SemanticVersion` from the given semantic version string

    require "semantic_version"

    semver = SemanticVersion.parse("2.61.4")
    semver # => #<SemanticVersion:0x55b3667c9e70 @major=2, @minor=61, @patch=4, ... >

Raises `ArgumentError` if str is not a semantic version.

##
Instance Method Detail

def <=>(other : self) : Int32 #

The comparison operator.

Returns `-1`, `0` or `1` depending on whether `self`'s version is lower than other's, equal to other's version or greater than other's version.

    require "semantic_version"

    semver1 = SemanticVersion.new(1, 0, 0)
    semver2 = SemanticVersion.new(2, 0, 0)

    semver1 <=> semver2 # => -1
    semver2 <=> semver2 # => 0
    semver2 <=> semver1 # => 1

def ==(other : self) #
def build : String | Nil #

The build metadata of this semantic version

def bump_major #

Returns a copy of the current version with a major bump.

    require "semantic_version"

    current_version = SemanticVersion.new 1, 1, 1, "rc"
    current_version.bump_major # => SemanticVersion(@build=nil, @major=2, @minor=0, @patch=0, @prerelease=SemanticVersion::Prerelease(@identifiers=[]))

def bump_minor #

Returns a copy of the current version with a minor bump.

    require "semantic_version"

    current_version = SemanticVersion.new 1, 1, 1, "rc"
    current_version.bump_minor # => SemanticVersion(@build=nil, @major=1, @minor=2, @patch=0, @prerelease=SemanticVersion::Prerelease(@identifiers=[]))

def bump_patch #

Returns a copy of the current version with a patch bump. Bumping a patch of a prerelease just erase the prerelease data.

    require "semantic_version"

    current_version = SemanticVersion.new 1, 1, 1, "rc"
    next_patch = current_version.bump_patch # => SemanticVersion(@build=nil, @major=1, @minor=1, @patch=1, @prerelease=SemanticVersion::Prerelease(@identifiers=[]))
    next_patch.bump_patch                   # => SemanticVersion(@build=nil, @major=1, @minor=1, @patch=2, @prerelease=SemanticVersion::Prerelease(@identifiers=[]))

def copy_with(major : Int32 = @major, minor : Int32 = @minor, patch : Int32 = @patch, prerelease : String | Prerelease | Nil = @prerelease, build : String | Nil = @build) #

Returns a new `SemanticVersion` created with the specified parts. The default for each part is its current value.

    require "semantic_version"

    current_version = SemanticVersion.new 1, 1, 1, "rc"
    current_version.copy_with(patch: 2)        # => SemanticVersion(@build=nil, @major=1, @minor=1, @patch=2, @prerelease=SemanticVersion::Prerelease(@identifiers=["rc"]))
    current_version.copy_with(prerelease: nil) # => SemanticVersion(@build=nil, @major=1, @minor=1, @patch=1, @prerelease=SemanticVersion::Prerelease(@identifiers=[]))

def hash(hasher) #
Description copied from struct Struct

See `Object#hash(hasher)`

def major : Int32 #

The major version of this semantic version

def minor : Int32 #

The minor version of this semantic version

def patch : Int32 #

The patch version of this semantic version

def prerelease : Prerelease #

The pre-release version of this semantic version

def to_s(io : IO) : Nil #

Returns the string representation of this semantic version
