我想为解决这个问题的轻量级库做广告:语义版本

可以同时使用面向对象(OO)和面向函数。它可以作为npm-package和现成的包文件使用。

这是一个巧妙的技巧。如果您正在处理数值，在特定的值范围内，您可以为版本对象的每个级别分配一个值。例如，“largestValue”在这里被设置为0xFF，这为您的版本控制创建了一个非常“IP”的外观。

这也处理字母-数字版本(即1.2a < 1.2b)

// The version compare function
function compareVersion(data0, data1, levels) {
    function getVersionHash(version) {
        var value = 0;
        version = version.split(".").map(function (a) {
            var n = parseInt(a);
            var letter = a.replace(n, "");
            if (letter) {
                return n + letter[0].charCodeAt() / 0xFF;
            } else {
                return n;
            }
        });
        for (var i = 0; i < version.length; ++i) {
            if (levels === i) break;
            value += version[i] / 0xFF * Math.pow(0xFF, levels - i + 1);
        }
        return value;
    };
    var v1 = getVersionHash(data0);
    var v2 = getVersionHash(data1);
    return v1 === v2 ? -1 : v1 > v2 ? 0 : 1;
};
// Returns 0 or 1, correlating to input A and input B
// Direct match returns -1
var version = compareVersion("1.254.253", "1.254.253a", 3);

一个非常简单的方法:

function compareVer(previousVersion, currentVersion) {
 try {
    const [prevMajor, prevMinor = 0, prevPatch = 0] = previousVersion.split('.').map(Number);
    const [curMajor, curMinor = 0, curPatch = 0] = currentVersion.split('.').map(Number);

    if (curMajor > prevMajor) {
      return 'major update';
    }
    if (curMajor < prevMajor) {
      return 'major downgrade';
    }
    if (curMinor > prevMinor) {
      return 'minor update';
    }
    if (curMinor < prevMinor) {
      return 'minor downgrade';
    }
    if (curPatch > prevPatch) {
      return 'patch update';
    }
    if (curPatch < prevPatch) {
      return 'patch downgrade';
    }
    return 'same version';
  } catch (e) {
    return 'invalid format';
  }
}

输出:

compareVer("3.1", "3.1.1") // patch update
compareVer("3.1.1", "3.2") // minor update
compareVer("2.1.1", "1.1.1") // major downgrade
compareVer("1.1.1", "1.1.1") // same version

我的答案比这里的大多数答案都要简洁

/**
 * Compare two semver versions. Returns true if version A is greater than
 * version B
 * @param {string} versionA
 * @param {string} versionB
 * @returns {boolean}
 */
export const semverGreaterThan = function(versionA, versionB){
  var versionsA = versionA.split(/\./g),
    versionsB = versionB.split(/\./g)
  while (versionsA.length || versionsB.length) {
    var a = Number(versionsA.shift()), b = Number(versionsB.shift())
    if (a == b)
      continue
    return (a > b || isNaN(b))
  }
  return false
}

// Return 1 if a > b
// Return -1 if a < b
// Return 0 if a == b
function compare(a, b) {
    if (a === b) {
       return 0;
    }

    var a_components = a.split(".");
    var b_components = b.split(".");

    var len = Math.min(a_components.length, b_components.length);

    // loop while the components are equal
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        // A bigger than B
        if (parseInt(a_components[i]) > parseInt(b_components[i])) {
            return 1;
        }

        // B bigger than A
        if (parseInt(a_components[i]) < parseInt(b_components[i])) {
            return -1;
        }
    }

    // If one's a prefix of the other, the longer one is greater.
    if (a_components.length > b_components.length) {
        return 1;
    }

    if (a_components.length < b_components.length) {
        return -1;
    }

    // Otherwise they are the same.
    return 0;
}

console.log(compare("1", "2"));
console.log(compare("2", "1"));

console.log(compare("1.0", "1.0"));
console.log(compare("2.0", "1.0"));
console.log(compare("1.0", "2.0"));
console.log(compare("1.0.1", "1.0"));

基于Idan的精彩回答，下面的函数semverCompare通过了语义版本2.0.0的大多数情况。了解更多要点。

function semverCompare(a, b) {
    if (a.startsWith(b + "-")) return -1
    if (b.startsWith(a + "-")) return  1
    return a.localeCompare(b, undefined, { numeric: true, sensitivity: "case", caseFirst: "upper" })
}

它返回:

-1: a < b 0: a == b 1: a > b
