semver.xq

Validate, compare, sort, parse, and serialize Semantic Versioning (SemVer) 2.0.0 version strings, using XQuery.

SemVer rules are applied strictly, raising errors when version strings do not conform to the spec.

Building

• Requirements: Java 8, Apache Maven 3.3+, Git.

If you want to create an EXPath Package for the app, you can run:

$ mvn package

There will be a .xar file in the target/ sub-folder.

Development / Manual Testing

Simply run: mvn -Pdev docker:start to start a Docker environment of eXist-db on port 9090 with the semver.xq package already deployed.

As the Docker environment binds the files from the host filesystem, changes to the source code are reflected immediately in the running eXist-db environment.

You can override the Docker host port for eXist-db from port 9090 to a port of your choosing by specifying -Ddev.port=9191, e.g.: mvn -Pdev -Ddev.port=9191 docker:start.

If you also want the Dashboard and eXide to be available from the Docker environment of eXist-db you can invoke the target public-xar-repo:resolve before you call docker:start, e.g. mvn -Pdev public-xar-repo:resolve docker:start.

To stop the Docker environment run: mvn -Pdev docker:stop.
