Laravel Simple Force Update
===========================

[](#laravel-simple-force-update)

Very often we want clients, especially mobile applications to update to the latest version. To enable force update feature, we need to keep release versions in our database and compare with the version of the device. This package creates a table to keep releases and provides a service to suggest actions based on version comparison.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Table structure to keep versions with support for multiple applications and platforms
- Uses semantic versioning format to keep versions
- Provides interface so that you can implement your own force update logic
- Throws custom exception when invalid semantic string is encountered

Default force update logic
--------------------------

[](#default-force-update-logic)

- candidate version == max version || candidate version > max version : No action
- candidate version < max version && candidate version > min version : Action: update available
- candidate version < min version : Action: update required / force update
- candidate version == min version : Action: update available
