Get maxSatisfying version including pre-release with node semver

Question

How can i get the latest version (including the pre-releases) from an array of versions using node/semver.

For example:

var semver = require("semver");
var versions = ["1.0.0-rc.10","1.0.0-rc.11"];
console.log(semver.maxSatisfying(versions, "*"));

Returns null, but i want to get the 1.0.0-rc.11 back.

Kind Regards and have a nice day!

You need to add the includePrerelease option to your maxSatisfying method as described here: https://github.com/npm/node-semver#functions

In your example:

var semver = require("semver");
var versions = ["1.0.0-rc.10","1.0.0-rc.11"];

console.log(semver.maxSatisfying(versions, "*", {
        includePrerelease: true
}));
