When Rails releases a new version of their gems, they also release a number of npm packages
like @rails/activestorage or @rails/actioncable.
Unfortunately Rails uses up to 4 digits for their gem version, while npm only allows 3 digits and a pre-release suffix.
To map gem versions and npm versions, Rails is going to use a naming scheme like this:
| Gem version | npm version |
|---|---|
7.0.0 |
7.0.0 |
7.0.1 |
7.0.100 |
7.1.0 |
7.1.0 |
7.0.0.1 |
7.0.1 (think 7.0.001) |
7.0.1.1 |
7.0.101 |
7.0.0.rc1 |
7.0.0-rc1 |
The old scheme
Earlier Rails used the following scheme, which didn't work well with version ranges in your package.json:
| Gem version | npm version |
|---|---|
6.0.0 |
6.0.0 |
6.0.1 |
6.0.1 |
6.1.0 |
6.1.0 |
6.0.0.1 |
6.0.0-1 |
6.0.1.1 |
6.0.1-1 |
6.0.0.rc1 |
6.0.0-rc1 |
