SwiftVersionCheck

A small package for comparing and utilizing versions conforming to SemVer.

Following features are and will be implemented:

• [x] Create a version from major, minor, patch and extension information.
• [x] Create a version from string using LosslessStringConvertible or ExpressibleByStringLiteral .
• [x] Compare versions using Equatable and Comparable with the known operators ==, ===, <, <=, > and >=.
• [x] Compare versions and get the severity of the update (e. g. major-update).
• [ ] Utilize ranges for a greater variaty of comparisons.
• [x] Extend Bundle and ProcessInfo for easy usage.
• [x] Open documentation.
• [ ] Extend Codable and Hashable.

Installation

Usage

For detailed implenentation information see auto-generated documentation.

// use the version identifier for initialization
let versionOne = Version(1, 0, 0)
let versionTwo = Version(
    major: 1,
    minor: 0,
    patch: 0
)

// use strings
// use `ExpressibleByStringLiteral` with caution. it's fatal if the string is not a `SemVer` version
let versionThreeA: Version = "1.0.0" 
let versionThreeB: Version = Version("1.0.0")

// using the optional type is safe
let versionFourA: Version? = "1.0.0"
let versionFourB: Version? = Version("1.0.0")

// easy initial `0.0.0` version
let initialVersion: Version = .initial

// from bundle and processInfo
let bundleVersion = Bundle.main.shortVersion
let osVersion = ProcessInfo.processInfo.comparableOperatingSystemVersion

// compare versions with usally known operators (==, ===, <, <=, >=, >)
if Version("1.0.0") > Version("0.4.0") {
    // ...
}

// compare versions and get update severity
let currentVersion = Version("0.6.0")
let newVersion = Version("1.0.0")

if currentVersion.severity(to: newVersion) == .major {
    // ...
}
