function Compare-SemanticVersion { <# .SYNOPSIS Compares two semantic version numbers. .DESCRIPTION The Test-SemanticVersion function compares two semantic version numbers and returns an object that contains the results of the comparison. .EXAMPLE Compare-SemanticVersion -ReferenceVersion '1.1.1' -DifferenceVersion '1.2.0' ReferenceVersion Precedence DifferenceVersion IsCompatible ---------------- ---------- ----------------- ------------ 1.1.1 < 1.2.0 True This command show sthe results of compare two semantic version numbers that are not equal in precedence but are compatible. .EXAMPLE Compare-SemanticVersion -ReferenceVersion '0.1.1' -DifferenceVersion '0.1.0' ReferenceVersion Precedence DifferenceVersion IsCompatible ---------------- ---------- ----------------- ------------ 0.1.1 > 0.1.0 False This command shows the results of comparing two semantic version numbers that are are not equal in precedence and are not compatible. .EXAMPLE Compare-SemanticVersion -ReferenceVersion '1.2.3' -DifferenceVersion '1.2.3-0' ReferenceVersion Precedence DifferenceVersion IsCompatible ---------------- ---------- ----------------- ------------ 1.2.3 > 1.2.3-0 False This command shows the results of comparing two semantic version numbers that are are not equal in precedence and are not compatible. .EXAMPLE Compare-SemanticVersion -ReferenceVersion '1.2.3-4+5' -DifferenceVersion '1.2.3-4+5' ReferenceVersion Precedence DifferenceVersion IsCompatible ---------------- ---------- ----------------- ------------ 1.2.3-4+5 = 1.2.3-4+5 True This command shows the results of comparing two semantic version numbers that are exactly equal in precedence. .EXAMPLE Compare-SemanticVersion -ReferenceVersion '1.2.3-4+5' -DifferenceVersion '1.2.3-4+6789' ReferenceVersion Precedence DifferenceVersion IsCompatible ---------------- ---------- ----------------- ------------ 1.2.3-4+5 = 1.2.3-4+6789 True This command shows the results of comparing two semantic version numbers that are exactly equal in precedence, even if they have different build numbers. .INPUTS System.Object Any objects you pipe into this function are converted into strings then are evaluated as Semantic Versions. .OUTPUTS psobject The output objects are custom psobject with detail of how the ReferenceVersion compares with the DifferenceVersion .NOTES To sort a collection of Semantic Version numbers based on the semver.org precedence rules Sort-Object -Property Major,Minor,Patch,@{e = {$_.PreRelease -eq ''}; Ascending = $true},PreRelease,Build #> [CmdletBinding()] [Alias('crsemver')] [OutputType([psobject])] param ( # Specifies the version used as a reference for comparison.
