# Version tools
A small module to check the information about versions, such as comparing, parsing version data, and checking if the two versions are a major change.
---
# Changelog (`v1.4.1`)
• Fixed conflict in docs. \
• Added new function to `readme.md`. \
• Added new function to tests. \
• No longer use jest as it isn't required. \
• Updated `tsconfig.json`. \
• Added new scripts to `package.json`. \
• Some more linting. \
• Added the version check for old node versions.
# To-do
• Make `parseVersion()` function return version numbers as a `int` instead of a `string`.
---
# Installation
```sh-session
npm i major-version-check
```
---
# Usage
> ⚠ **This library is ONLY compatible with node version 14 and above**
First, you must import the library using the following code:
```javascript
const versionTools = require('major-version-check');
// or `import * as versionTools from 'major-version-check';` for ESM users
```
\
Then all you have to do is call the function with some values:
```javascript
const versionTools = require('major-version-check');
// or `import * as versionTools from 'major-version-check';` for ESM users
// Will return true
console.log(versionTools.majorVer('1.0.0', '2.0.0'));
// Will return false
console.log(versionTools.majorVer('1.0.0', '1.0.1'));
// Will return info about the version
console.log(JSON.stringify(versionTools.parseVersion('1.0.0-beta')));
// Will return true
console.log(`Output:\n${versionTools.compare(versionTools.parseVersion('1.0.1'), versionTools.parseVersion('1.0.0'), { type: 'greaterThan' })}`);
// Will return false
console.log(`Output:\n${versionTools.compare(versionTools.parseVersion('1.0.1'), versionTools.parseVersion('1.0.0'), { type: 'lessThan' })}`);
```
**That's it! Now you have it running!**
