Check your changes against semantic versions

Install it via composer

composer require sourcerer-mike/phpsemver

and test your code by comparing two versions

phpsemver compare 3.2.0 HEAD

or the last commit with your current work:

phpsemver compare HEAD .

You're welcome!

Try the several possibilities:

• Use compare to check for changes.
• Use vcs:message to enhance your commit messages.

Choose between those wrapper(phpsemver compare --type ...):

• GIT
• Filesystem / Directories

If one argument is a directory, then the system will work on the file system.

Make assertions on:

• Functions
  • IsAdded: Check if a function is new.
  • IsRemoved: Check if a function is removed.
  • BodyChanged: Check if someone changed the behaviour of a function.
• Classes
  • IsAdded: Check if a classes is new.
  • IsRemoved: Check if a classes is removed.
• Methods
  • IsAdded: Check if a method is new.
  • IsRemoved: Check if a method is removed.
  • BodyChanged: Check if someone changed the behaviour of a method.
  • ReturnTypeChanged: Watch for changed return types.
  • ReturnTypeRemoved: Watch for incompatible changes on methods.
• Interfaces
  • IsAdded: Check if an interface is new.
  • IsRemoved: Check if an interface is removed.

Combine them as you like in your own configuration file.

Configure which assertions are used in a XML-File. The delivered XSD file makes it easy to write your own configuration (in a proper IDE).

Write your own and use it with the --ruleset option. See the wiki entry for more information: https://github.com/sourcerer-mike/phpsemver/wiki/Configuration

Those projects do semantic versions in different ways. So a special config is written for them which can be used via the --ruleSet option:

• Drupal-Core
• SemVer2
• WordPress

Just write phpsemver --ruleSet Drupal-Core and see the latest changes in Drupal. There are other companies that follow some semantics in their rules like Symfony. Don't drag behind - catch up with PHPSemVer.
