Version Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Building plugin architectures where modules must declare compatible version ranges for the core application
• Implementing safe software update workflows that validate version compatibility before deployment
• Reducing maintenance costs by replacing fragile custom version parsing logic with a standardized, tested solution
• Enabling precise dependency resolution in internal tooling without bloating dependencies

When to Consider This Package

• When your project requires version handling but avoids Composer dependencies (e.g., standalone CLI tools or legacy systems)
• For PHP libraries needing minimal, focused version logic without external framework dependencies
• If you need strict semver compliance with a clean, testable API for version constraints
• Look elsewhere if you're already using Composer (which includes composer/semver) or require non-semver versioning schemes

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)
