Basic usage

Comparator

The Composer\Semver\Comparator class provides the following methods for comparing versions:

• greaterThan($v1, $v2)
• greaterThanOrEqualTo($v1, $v2)
• lessThan($v1, $v2)
• lessThanOrEqualTo($v1, $v2)
• equalTo($v1, $v2)
• notEqualTo($v1, $v2)

Each function takes two version strings as arguments. For example:

use Composer\Semver\Comparator;

Comparator::greaterThan('1.25.0', '1.24.0'); // 1.25.0 > 1.24.0

Semver

The Composer\Semver\Semver class provides the following methods:

• satisfies($version, $constraints)
• satisfiedBy(array $versions, $constraint)
• sort($versions)
• rsort($versions)
