I would like to sort semantic versions (semver.org)
v1.4.0
v1.4.0-alpha
v1.4.0-alpha1
v1.4.0-patch
v1.4.0-patch9
v1.4.0-patch10
v1.4.0-patch2
v1.5.0
v1.5.0-alpha
v1.5.0-alpha1
v1.5.0-alpha2
v1.5.0-patch
v1.5.0-patch1
in proper way. For instance, as version_compare()
does in PHP (it doesn't directly, but can be used for that).
Of course, sort -V|--version-sort
doesn't work here.
$ echo 1.0 1.0-alpha | tr ' ' "\n" | sort --version-sort
1.0
1.0-alpha
Is there some exist approach?
P.S.
In common sense, it should follow this schema:
1.0.0-alpha
< 1.0.0-alpha.1
< 1.0.0-alpha.beta
< 1.0.0-beta
< 1.0.0-beta.2
< 1.0.0-beta.11
< 1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0
< 1.0.0-patch < 1.0.0-patch.1.
P.P.S.
Semver 2.0 doesn't support patches, but it's needed.
1. Custom script in bash
I implemented my own solution
The code a bit ugly, but it works.
Installation
$ curl -Ls https://gist.github.com/andkirby/0046df5cad44f86b670a102b7c8b7ba7/raw/version_sort_install.sh | bash
Semantic version sort: /usr/bin/semversort
$ semversort 1.0 1.0-rc 1.0-patch 1.0-alpha
1.0-alpha
1.0-rc
1.0
1.0-patch
2. Using semver in node
NOTE: All versions must follow the particular schema and it DOESN'T support "patch".
https://github.com/npm/node-semver/blob/master/README.md
$ npm install --global semver
C:\Users\u.user\.node\semver -> C:\Users\u.user\.node\node_modules\semver\bin\semver
semver@5.3.0 C:\Users\u.user\.node\node_modules\semver
$ ~/.node/semver 1.2.3 1.3.6-patch 1.3.6-beta 1.3.6 1.3.6-alpha 1.0.4
1.0.4
1.2.3
1.3.6-alpha
1.3.6-beta
1.3.6-patch
1.3.6
3. Using PHP and version_compare() in console
Also, the PHP native version_compare()
(with using PHP of course :)) here.
