Parse Semver

Github action that can be used to parse a semver string. It leverages semver behind the scene.

Versioning in repository

Version in this repository means annotated git tag named according to these guidelines.

Currently, versioning will be done automatically on master. Pull requests against master are checked to contain one of the following labels:

• bump:patch
• bump:minor
• bump:major

In repository, following versioning needs to be followed:

Normal semantic versioning after every merge

With semver style, every pull request merge will bump version number in following style:

• patch, bugfix, typo, configuration change in non-production: micro version
• minor, backward-compatible new feature, backward-compatible feature enhancement, configuration change: minor version
• major, non-backward compatible change, removal of a feature: major version

Versioning will follow naming of vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Inputs

input_string

Required Raw input string to be parsed. Its a string either containing a semver or is a semver itself.

version_extractor_regex

Optional Regex pattern to extract semver substring from the raw input. It is mandatory to match a single substring from the input string.

Outputs

major

MAJOR part of the semver. Eg. 3 in 3.4.5-alpha+1.2

minor

MINOR part of the semver. Eg. 4 in 3.4.5-alpha+1.2

patch

PATCH part of the semver. Eg. 5 in 3.4.5-alpha+1.2

prerelease

prerelease part of the semver. Eg. alpha in 3.4.5-alpha+1.2

build

build part of the semver. Eg. 1.2 in 3.4.5-alpha+1.2

fullversion

Full representation of the semver. For eg. 3.4.5-alpha+1.2 in 3.4.5-alpha+1.2

Example usage

With an extractor regex

...
job:
  test_semver_parser:
    runs_on: ubuntu_latest
    steps:
     - name: Parse semver string
       id: semver_parser 
       uses: booxmedialtd/ws-action-parse-semver@v1
       with:
         input_string: 'refs/tags/v1.0.4'
         version_extractor_regex: '\/v(.*)$'
     - name: Use parsed semver
       run: |
            echo "v${{ steps.semver_parser.outputs.major }}"
            echo "v${{ steps.semver_parser.outputs.minor }}"
            echo "v${{ steps.semver_parser.outputs.patch }}"
            echo "v${{ steps.semver_parser.outputs.prerelease }}"
            echo "v${{ steps.semver_parser.outputs.build }}"
            echo "v${{ steps.semver_parser.outputs.fullversion }}"

Without an extractor regex. Note: input_string must be a valid semver string.
