You already know how to\n compare strings.\n* neq(v1, v2): `v1 != v2` The opposite of eq.\n* cmp(v1, comparator, v2): Pass in a comparison string, and it'll call\n the corresponding function above. `\"===\"` and `\"!==\"` do simple\n string comparison, but are included for completeness. Throws if an\n invalid comparison string is provided.\n* compare(v1, v2): Return 0 if v1 == v2, or 1 if v1 is greater, or -1 if\n v2 is greater. Sorts in ascending order if passed to Array.sort().\n* rcompare(v1, v2): The reverse of compare. Sorts an array of versions\n in descending order when passed to Array.sort().\n\n\n### Ranges\n\n* validRange(range): Return the valid range or null if it's not valid\n* satisfies(version, range): Return true if the version satisfies the\n range.\n* maxSatisfying(versions, range): Return the highest version in the list\n that satisfies the range, or null if none of them do.\n", |
