功能简单简短:

function isNewerVersion (oldVer, newVer) {
  const oldParts = oldVer.split('.')
  const newParts = newVer.split('.')
  for (var i = 0; i < newParts.length; i++) {
    const a = ~~newParts[i] // parse int
    const b = ~~oldParts[i] // parse int
    if (a > b) return true
    if (a < b) return false
  }
  return false
}

测试:

isNewerVersion('1.0', '2.0') // true
isNewerVersion('1.0', '1.0.1') // true
isNewerVersion('1.0.1', '1.0.10') // true
isNewerVersion('1.0.1', '1.0.1') // false
isNewerVersion('2.0', '1.0') // false
isNewerVersion('2', '1.0') // false
isNewerVersion('2.0.0.0.0.1', '2.1') // true
isNewerVersion('2.0.0.0.0.1', '2.0') // false

下面是一个版本，它对版本字符串进行排序，而不分配任何子字符串或数组。由于它分配的对象更少，GC要做的工作也就更少。

有一对分配(允许重用getVersionPart方法)，但是如果您对性能非常敏感，您可以扩展它以完全避免分配。

const compareVersionStrings : (a: string, b: string) => number = (a, b) =>
{
    var ia = {s:a,i:0}, ib = {s:b,i:0};
    while (true)
    {
        var na = getVersionPart(ia), nb = getVersionPart(ib);

        if (na === null && nb === null)
            return 0;
        if (na === null)
            return -1;
        if (nb === null)
            return 1;
        if (na > nb)
            return 1;
        if (na < nb)
            return -1;
    }
};

const zeroCharCode = '0'.charCodeAt(0);

const getVersionPart = (a : {s:string, i:number}) =>
{
    if (a.i >= a.s.length)
        return null;

    var n = 0;
    while (a.i < a.s.length)
    {
        if (a.s[a.i] === '.')
        {
            a.i++;
            break;
        }

        n *= 10;
        n += a.s.charCodeAt(a.i) - zeroCharCode;
        a.i++;
    }
    return n;
}

在排序之前对版本进行预处理意味着parseInt不会被不必要地多次调用。 使用array# map类似于Michael Deal的建议，下面是我用来查找标准3部分semver的最新版本的排序:

var semvers = ["0.1.0", "1.0.0", "1.1.0", "1.0.5"]; var versions = semvers.map(function(semver) { return semver.split(".").map(function(part) { return parseInt(part); }); }); versions.sort(function(a, b) { if (a[0] < b[0]) return 1; else if (a[0] > b[0]) return -1; else if (a[1] < b[1]) return 1; else if (a[1] > b[1]) return -1; else if (a[2] < b[2]) return 1; else if (a[2] > b[2]) return -1; return 0; }); var newest = versions[0].join("."); console.log(newest); // "1.1.0"

// 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

如果两个版本相等，函数将返回-1，如果第一个版本是最新版本，则返回0，而1表示第二个版本是最新版本。

let v1 = '12.0.1.0'
let v2 = '12.0.1'

let temp1 = v1.split('.');
let temp2 = v2.split('.');

console.log(compareVersion(temp1, temp2))


function compareVersion(version1, version2) {
    let flag = false;
    var compareResult;
    let maxLength = Math.max(version1.length, version2.length); 
    let minLength = Math.min(version1.length, version2.length);

    for (let i = 0; i < maxLength; ++i ) {
        let result = version1[i] - version2[i];
        if (result > 0) {
            flag = true;
            compareResult = 0;
            break;
        }
        else if (result < 0) {
            flag = true;
            compareResult = 1;
            break;
        }

        if (i === minLength) {
            if (version1.length > version1.length) {
                compareResult = version1[version1.length-1] > 0 ? '0' : '-1'
            }  else  {
                compareResult = version1[version2.length-1] > 0 ? '1' : '-1'
            }
            break;
        }
    }
    if (flag === false) {
        compareResult = -1;
    }
    return compareResult;
}
