Semantic Versioning in Artifactory Generic Repositories: Range Query

Question

I would like to know if the generic repositories in JFrog Artifactory have support for something similar as NodeJS's ~ and ^ operator in the package.json.

Let say I am uploading the following artifacts to a generic repository:

• foo-1.0.0 # stable release for 1.0 series
• foo-1.0.1 # first bug fix release for 1.0 series
• foo-1.1.0 # stable release for 1.1 series
• foo-1.1.1 # first bug fix release for 1.1 series

Is there some REST API or AQL query that I can use to specify a particular version based on a query, e.g.: ~1.0.0 would get me 1.0.1 and if later I upload 1.0.2 it would give me 1.0.2?

See What's the difference between tilde(~) and caret(^) in package.json? for a description about NodeJS ~ and ^ operators.

Answer 1

There is no built in support for such semver operators in AQL or the REST API.
You can get the latest version of an artifact in a generic repository, you can use the Artifact Latest Version Search Based on Properties API method (which requires annotating the artifacts with a version property).
