Programmatic handling of semver numbers.

Install with Composer,

composer require jordanbrauer/semver

There are two ways of using this package: as a class, or a function.

The only difference between these methods is how Semver gets instantiated by the user. So choose the method that best suits your domain needs.

You know the drill: stick this in your DI/IoC container or call it where you need.

use Semver\Semver;

$semver = new Semver(); # instantiate with the default scheme of 0.1.0
$semver = new Semver('1.0.0'); # instantiate with a specific scheme

If you would like to use a function as the entry point; this is supported by making use of PHP's use function feature. Simply prepend "function" to the FQCN when importing it.

use function Semver\Semver;

$semver = semver(); # instantiate with the default scheme of 0.1.0
$semver = semver('1.0.0'); # instantiate with a specific scheme

No real reason other than fun! The real solution that you should use to compare semver version schemes, is Composer's Comparator library.
