Struct versions::Version

pub struct Version {
    pub epoch: Option<u32>,
    pub chunks: Chunks,
    pub meta: Option<Chunks>,
    pub release: Option<Chunks>,
}

A version number with decent structure and comparison logic.

This is a descriptive scheme, meaning that it encapsulates the most common, unconscious patterns that developers use when assigning version numbers to their software. If not SemVer, most version numbers found in the wild will parse as a Version. These generally conform to the x.x.x-x pattern, and may optionally have an epoch.

Epochs

Epochs are prefixes marked by a colon, like in 1:2.3.4. When comparing two Version values, epochs take precedent. So 2:1.0.0 > 1:9.9.9. If one of the given Versions has no epoch, its epoch is assumed to be 0.

Examples

use versions::{SemVer, Version};

// None of these are SemVer, but can still be parsed and compared.
let vers = vec!["0.25-2", "8.u51-1", "20150826-1", "1:2.3.4"];

for v in vers {
    assert!(SemVer::new(v).is_none());
    assert!(Version::new(v).is_some());
}

Fields

epoch: Option<u32>

chunks: Chunks

meta: Option<Chunks>

release: Option<Chunks>

Implementations

impl Version

pub fn new(s: &str) -> Option<Version>

Parse a Version from some input.

pub fn nth(&self, n: usize) -> Option<u32>

Try to extract a position from the Version as a nice integer, as if it were a SemVer.

use versions::Version;

let mess = Version::new("1:2.a.4.5.6.7-r1").unwrap();
assert_eq!(Some(2), mess.nth(0));
assert_eq!(None, mess.nth(1));
assert_eq!(Some(4), mess.nth(2));

pub fn nth_lenient(&self, n: usize) -> Option<u32>

Like nth, but pulls a number even if it was followed by letters.

pub fn to_mess(&self) -> Mess

A lossless conversion from Version to Mess.

use versions::Version;

let orig = "1:1.2.3-r1";
let mess = Version::new(orig).unwrap().to_mess();

assert_eq!(orig, format!("{}", mess));

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Version

fn clone(&self) -> Version

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Version

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Version

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Eq for Version

impl Hash for Version

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H) where
    H: Hasher, 

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for Version

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

If two epochs are equal, we need to compare their actual version numbers. Otherwise, the comparison of the epochs is the only thing that matters.

#[must_use]fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

#[must_use]fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

#[must_use]fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (clamp)

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq<Version> for Version

fn eq(&self, other: &Version) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Version) -> bool

This method tests for !=.

impl PartialOrd<Version> for Version

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

#[must_use]fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

#[must_use]fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

#[must_use]fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

#[must_use]fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.
