Caret#
The ^ operator behaves very similarly but it sticks closer to semantic versioning, and will always allow non-breaking updates. For example ^1.2.3 is equivalent to >=1.2.3 <2.0.0 as none of the releases until 2.0 should break backwards compatibility. For pre-1.0 versions it also acts with safety in mind and treats ^0.3 as >=0.3.0 <0.4.0.
This is the recommended operator for maximum interoperability when writing library code.
Example: ^1.2.3

和^
的意思很接近,在x.y
的情况下是一样的都是代表x.y <= 版本号 < (x+1).0
,但是在版本号是x.y.z
的情况下有区别,举个例子吧:~1.2.3
代表1.2.3 <= 版本号 < 1.3.0
^1.2.3
代表1.2.3 <= 版本号 < 2.0.0
