Feature Request: "version" generator about faker HOT 9 CLOSED

Well its a decent addition imo for the future. I would not call it version though since there are so many versioning types but we could create such extension indeed.

Like:
$faker->semver(); // 1.0.0
$faker->semver(); // 2.1.7-beta1
$faker->version(); // random options like semver or even other formats

While this could be a nice addition, you can use numerify('#.##.#') for now.

@IonBazan Thank for the reply - I'm in no rush for this feature. I only brought it up, due to a recent testing task I had to complete, in which a version string was required.

@pimjansen I agree that "version" alone might be a bit too shallow. A version generator could... or rather should, allow for some level of customization. Which options should be allowed is beyond me, at this very moment. In any case, I hope that this can be adapted into a future version of Faker.

Whoa, slow down, bot. 14 days is a bit aggressive for a "stale" tag for a (non-urgent) feature request.😕

Thats why we have a pinned label :)

I really like the idea and was actually wondering why Faker doesn't already have something like that^^ I tried a semver implementation in #350 :)

Another versioning scheme I've found is CalVer, the calendar based versioning, but that's pretty much it. Many applications or companies define their own versioning scheme, but semver and calver seem to be the biggest ones available.

After implementing that, we can add the version method which will randomly generate one of those two schemes, like @pimjansen suggested.

Im closing this ticket. If we need more support for other versions and would do it from there though.

Thanks for the effort!
