Example Usage

name: Compare Versions
on: [push]

jobs:
  compare:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Compare versions
        uses: ArcherGu/semver-compare@v1
        id: compare
        with:
          v1: '2.0.0'
          v2: '1.0.0'
          operator: '>' # means v1 > v2
          not_throw: 'false'

      - name: Check result
        run: |
          if [[ ${{ steps.compare.outputs.result }} == 'true' ]]; then
            echo "Version comparison succeeded"
          else
            echo "Version comparison failed"
          fi

Error Handling

By default, the action will throw an error if:

• Either version is invalid according to semver rules
• The operator is invalid

If you set not_throw: true, the action will return false instead of throwing an error in these cases.
