CommitIt - Conventional Commits Library

Lightweight (Conventional) Commits library, allowing you to retrieve (Conventional) Commits and verify them against the (Extended) Conventional Commits specification

Features

• Simple to use
• Retrieving commit messages from your git objects or provided string
• Validate the commit message against the (Extended) Conventional Commits specification

Basic Usage

Commit Message

import { Commit } from "@dev-build-deploy/commit-it";

const gitCommit = Commit.fromHash({ hash: "f1aaa6e0b89eb87b591ab623053845b5d5488d9f" });
console.log(JSON.stringify(gitCommit, null, 2))

Conventional Commit message (compliant)

import { ConventionalCommit } from '@dev-build-deploy/commit-it';

// OPTIONAL; Conventional Commits options
const conventionalOptions = {
  // EC-01: A scope MAY be provided after a type. A scope MUST consist of one of the configured values (...) surrounded by parenthesis
  scopes: [ "core", "cli", "action" ],

  // EC-02: Commits MUST be prefixed with a type, which consists of one of the configured values (feat, fix, ...)
  types: [ "build", "ci", "docs", "perf", "refactor", "style", "test" ],
};

const conventionalCommit = ConventionalCommit.fromHash(
  { hash: "f1aaa6e0b89eb87b591ab623053845b5d5488d9f" },
  conventionalOptions
);

// NOTE: See "Non-compliant Conventional Commits message" for details on how to capture failures.
console.log(JSON.stringify(conventionalCommit, null, 2));

Conventional Commit message (non-compliant)

import { ConventionalCommit } from '@dev-build-deploy/commit-it';

// Provide a commit message as a string
const conventionalCommit = ConventionalCommit.fromString({
  hash: "0ab1cd2ef",
  message: "feat (no noun): non-compliant conventional commits message",
});

if (!conventionalCommit.isValid) {
  conventionalCommit.errors.forEach(e => console.log(e.toString()));
}
