# VersionTools
Switch behaviour at Crystal compile-time based on versions, using macros.
You might want this if you need to support multiple versions of a dependency (with breaking changes),
while maintaining a consistent API for your consumers/callers.
## Installation
```yaml
dependencies:
version_tools:
github: anicholson/crystal-version-tools
version: ~> 0.1.0
```
## Usage
Make sure to include the library in your project.
```crystal
require "version_tools"
```
### Built-in check: Crystal version being used
VersionTools provides a predefined checker that checks the version of Crystal being used
against a version you specify, like this:
```crystal
with_crystal_version("0.32.0") do
greater do
puts "#{Crystal::VERSION} is later than 0.32.0"
end
lesser_or_equal do
puts "#{Crystal::VERSION} is earlier or equal to 0.32.0"
end
end
```
This code snippet will compile to the following on each version:
```crystal
# on 0.32.1 or later
puts "#{Crystal::VERSION} is greater than 0.32.0"
# on 0.32.0 or earlier
puts "#{Crystal::VERSION} is earlier or equal to 0.32.0"
```
### Defining your own checker
If you wish to define your own checkers, use `define_version_checker!`.
For example, to create a checker called `with_api_version` that checks against (say) version "1.0.0" of something,
you invoke:
```crystal
VersionTools.define_version_checker!(with_api_version, "1.0.0")
```
And now you can use `with_api_version` the same way as `with_crystal_version` above.
### Scoped within modules
Defining a checker within a module scopes the checker to that module. For example:
```crystal
module Foo
VersionTools.define_version_checker!(with_bar, "0.0.1")
end
# Works
Foo.with_bar("...") do
#...
end
# Does not work
with_bar("...") do
#...
end
```
### Supported clauses
The following clauses are supported.
In these tables, `my_version` refers to the version baked into the checker, and
`compared_version` refers to the version when the checker is _invoked_.
| Clause | Description | Aliases |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------|-------------------------|
| `lesser` | If `my_version < compared_version` | `less_than` |
| `lesser_or_equal` | If `my_version <= compared_version` | `less_than_or_equal` |
| `equal` | If `my_version == compared_version` | `equals` |
| `greater_or_equal` | If `my_version >= compared_version` | `greater_than_or_equal` |
| `greater` | If `my_version > compared_version` | `greater_than` |
Any other clauses will raise a compile-time error:
```crystal
with_some_checker("1.0.0") do
elephant do
raise "Will not raise"
end
end
# emits:
# 4 | VersionTools.define_version_checker!(with_some_checker, "0.1.0")
# ^
# Error: Unknown clause: :elephant
```
Any code not within a clause will also raise a compile-time error:
```crystal
with_some_checker("1.0.0") do
x = Object.new
end
# emits:
#
# 4 | VersionTools.define_version_checker!(with_some_checker, "0.1.0")
# ^
# Error: The following code caused an error:
#
# x = Object.new
#
# Use a clause instead, for example:
# greater do
# # your code here
# end
#
# The following clauses are supported:
# * lesser (or less_than)
# * lesser_or_equal (or less_than_or_equal)
# * equal (or equals)
# * greater_or equal (or greater_than_or_equal)
# * greater (or greater_than)
```
