canUpdate property
bool
canUpdate
Returns true
if the store version of the application is greater than the local version.
Implementation
bool get canUpdate {
final local = localVersion.split('.').map(int.parse).toList();
final store = storeVersion.split('.').map(int.parse).toList();
// Each consecutive field in the version notation is less significant than the previous one,
// therefore only one comparison needs to yield `true` for it to be determined that the store
// version is greater than the local version.
for (var i = 0; i < store.length; i++) {
// The store version field is newer than the local version.
if (store[i] > local[i]) return true;
// The local version field is newer than the store version.
if (local[i] > store[i]) return false;
}
// The local and store versions are the same.
return false;
