[QUESTION] how to match ANY version

[Diokuz]

In the docs it is written that * matches any version. But it doesn't matches pre-release versions.

In this issue there is an example, how to match some particular pre-release versions, but it is still does not works for any versions. For example,

» semver.satisfies('0.3.4-alpha4', '>=0.0.0-1')
« false

How to match any version in semver?

By any I mean any valid version, including 1.0.0 0.0.0-stub 2.1.3-rc45 etc.

I use semver@7.3.4 and node@v12.14.1

Can't you just use valid(version)?

The docs were clarified in cb1ca1d to better explain this. If you have a specific version, you can match all prereleases of that version with ^1.0.0-a. That will match 1.0.0-beta, 1.0.0-canary, etc. See #329 for more info.
