We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

version comparisons

Do you look up the docs for versioncmp() every time you use it? Me too. This module is just a thin syntactical sugar wrapper around that function that makes it easy for humans to read and write.

It contains a small set of functions that make the code you write more readable. The function name says what it does and it returns a boolean value for you to build conditionals with. Versions can be passed as either strings (like "1.0.0") or numbers (like 1 or 1.0).

All functions can be used in either infix or postfix style. For example, all of these comparisons do exactly the same thing.

if(fact('os.release.minor').version::greater('5')) {
    notice("Minor os release greater than 5")
}

if(fact('os.release.minor').version::greater(5)) {
    notice("Minor os release greater than 5")
}

if(version::greater(fact('os.release.minor'), 5)) {
    notice("Minor os release greater than 5")
}
