Semantic Versioning

Semantic Versioning implementation in Swift! Use the struct Version to represent a version according to the Semantic Versioning Specification 2.0.0.

✅ Fully Unit tested

✅ 100% Swift

Getting Started

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+ / Mac OS X 10.9+
• Xcode 10.0+
• Swift 4.2

Installation

The easiest way to use SemanticVersion in your project is using the CocaPods package manager.

CocoaPods

See installation instructions for CocoaPods if not already installed

To integrate the library into your Xcode project specify the pod dependency to your Podfile:

platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'SemanticVersioning'

run pod install

pod install

Usage

Create version 2.0.0

let version = Version(major: 2)

Create version 1.2.3

let version = Version(major: 1, minor: 2, patch: 3)

Create version 1.0.0-alpha.2

let version = Version(major: 1, preReleaseIdentifier: ["alpha", "2"])

Create version from a String

let version: Version = "1.3.10-rc"

Create a list of versions from a Array of Strings

let versions: [Version] = ["1.0.0-alpha", "1.0.0-alpha.1"]

Check if is prerelease version or not

if version.isPrerelease { ... }

Access the prerelease identifier via the preReleaseIdentifier Array

for identifier in version.preReleaseIdentifier
{
    // ...
}

Access the build metadata identifier via the buildMetadataIdentifier Array

for identifier in version.buildMetadataIdentifier
{
    // ...
}

Conforms to Printable so you can simply get a String representation by accessing the description property

println(version)
// OR
let stringRepresentation = version.description

mutability / immutability

Comparsion

The default operators for comparsion are implemented < , <= , > ,>= ,== , != This will comapre major, minor, patch and the prerelease identifiers according to the Semantic Versioning Sepcification 2.0.0

Parser

The implementation includes a full-fledged component ot parse String representation of a version. Please have a look at the tests and the soruce of SemanticVersioningParser for now 😉

Tests

The libary includes a suite of tests showing how to use the different initialiser and the Parser

Extensions

There are some build in extensions to make your live easier.

NSOperatingSystemVersion

NSOperatingSystemVersion conforms to SemanticVersion so it can be compared with all other structs / objects that conform to the same protocol (e.g. Version).

So you can check the current system Version like this (on iOS 8+):

let systemVersion = NSProcessInfo.processInfo().operatingSystemVersion
if systemVersion < Version(major: 8)
{
    // ...
}

NSBundle

You can get the version as struct Version of a NSBundle if set in the bunlde info.plist like:

let bundle = NSBundle(forClass: self.dynamicType)
if let version = bundle.version
{
	// ...
}

UIDevice

You can get the operating system version from a UIDevice object by using operatingSystemVersion which returns a Version representation of systemVersion.

let systemVersion = UIDevice.currentDevice().operatingSystemVersion
if systemVersion < Version(major: 8)
{
    // ...
}

IntegerLiteralConvertible

Converts an Integer to a Version struct. You can use this only to represent major versions.

let systemVersion = NSProcessInfo.processInfo().operatingSystemVersion
if systemVersion < 8
{
    // ...
}

Reducing the version's minor and major value to a Float is also possible. Use this with ⚠️caution⚠️ as the Float representation could lead to accuracy loss of the minor value (that is represented as fractional digits). I would not reccommend to compare with == but < , <= , > ,>= should be useful.

let systemVersion = NSProcessInfo.processInfo().operatingSystemVersion
if systemVersion.floatValue() < 8.1
{
    // ...
}

Custom extensions

Create your own extensions or Version representations by creating struct / object that conforms to SemanticVersioning. Have a look at the extensions or the Version implementation for more information.
