uver

Bump the version on package.json and other files

CLI

To bump file versions from the command-line, check uver-cli

Installation

$ npm install uver

Basic usage

var uver = require('uver');
var newVersion = uver({ /* options */ });
// package.json version was incremented and saved

uver can receive an object with options (none required):

• patch: true: Update patch version (this is the default)
• minor: true: Update minor version
• major: true: Update major version
• index: 1: Update the version on the specified index (0 for major)
• revert: true: Decrement instead of increment
• root: './files': Where to look for the source file (default is process.cwd())
• filename: 'bower.json': Filename of the source (default is package.json)
• ver: '1.2.3': Specify a fixed version
• output: './package.json.bkp': Where to save the file (default is override source)
• stream: process.stdout: Output file to a stream instead of output or source

You can also pass the version directly as the argument:

uver('1.2.3');

Some notes

• uver won't reformat the file in any way, indentation and new lines will be preserved
• Given more than one out of major, minor and patch, only the "highest" will be updated.
• Updating a component will reset to 0 all the ones on the right (1.1.1 -> 1.2.0 and not 1.2.1)

Why not npm version

npm version is pretty cool and I used it as a reference to write this module.

One of the problems is it also:

• Creates a commit
• Creates a tag for that commit

There's currently no way to prevent these 2 from happening as well.

Also, npm version doesn't allow reverting (decrementing) a version.

Tests

$ npm test

TODO

• See if viable to rely on semver to update the version. It's much more solid but doesn't allow decrementing.
• Support pre-release and similar?
