Version
The Version utility is able to determine if a version is available for a installed package and obtain it. Behind the scene, "pretty-package-versions" is being used.
package()
Returns the version of the given installed package.
An \OutOfBoundsException is thrown if the given package is not installed.
use Aedart\Utils\Version;
$version = Version::package('aedart/athenaeum-utils');
See "pretty-package-versions" for additional information.
hasFor()
Determine if a version is available for the given installed package.
If the package isn't installed, the method will simply return false.
$hasVersion = Version::hasFor('aedart/athenaeum-utils');
application()
Available since v5.7.0
The application() method returns the root level package's version (your application).
$version = Version::application();
Note
Unlike the package() and hasFor() methods, which rely on information from composer¹, this method relies on information from git to obtain correct version information.
¹: A custom Versions class is generated during composer install or update, containing package versions. This class is generated by the "pretty-package-versions" package.
