commit-fn v2.7.0

Commit-fn

Standardized commit message generation

Argumentation

Writing commit messages should benefit of automated assistance.

While the rules of this library are not perfect, it still helps writing commit messages with consistent style.

Installation

yarn add commit-fn

How it works

The library uses Inquirer to take text or choice from the user. Generating the message includes the following steps:

• STEP 1 - Choosing the type of the commit

The user can select one among:

'feat' - Significant change in functionality

'fix' - Fixing an issue

'test' - Writing unit or end-to-end tests for specific feature

'chore' - Update build tasks, lint files or similar(no production code change)

'docs' - Edit the documentation of the project

• STEP 2 - Choosing the label of the commit

Start typing to select from predefined list of labels

• STEP 3 - Writing the commit message

In this step the user writes the actual commit message.

commitMessage

import { commitMessage } from 'commit-fn'

commitMessage().then((commitMessageValue: string) => {
  console.log(commitMessageValue)
  //=> 'feat@UI: use animation when logout'
})

commitAndPush

commitAndPush method will take the generated commit message and run the following commands for you:

1.git add . --all

2.git commit -m COMMIT_MESSAGE

3.git push

import { commitAndPush } from 'commit-fn'

commitAndPush().then((commitMessageValue: string) => {
  console.log(commitMessageValue)
  //=> Pushed with message 'feat@UI: use animation when logout'
})

Usage

Recommended way is to add the following in the scripts property of your package.json

{
  ...
  scripts:{
    "commit":"commit-fn"
  }
  ...
}

Now running yarn commit will execute the commitAndPush method.

Predefined labels

"commitMessage": [
    "script",
    "build",
    "prepublish",
    "lint",
    "typings",
    "benchmark",
    "refactor",
    "method",
    "docs",
    "typings"
  ]
}

START, PROGRESS, STOP

Every time STOP label is selected, the commit message will stay as WORK_IN_PROGRESS text.

Later if PROGRESS or STOP is selected, the WORK_IN_PROGRESS text will be prepended to the user input.

When STOP is selected WORK_IN_PROGRESS is reset back to an empty string.

Custom labels

Add commitMessage field in your package.json like so:

{
  ...
  "commitMessage":{
    "labels":[
      "foo",
      "bar",
      "baz"
    ]
  }
  ...
}

Custom labels belong to feat, fix, test commit types.

Change format to type(label): COMMIT_MESSAGE

You just need to pass true like so:

commitMessage(true).then((commitMessageValue: string) => {
  console.log(commitMessageValue)
  //=> 'feat(UI): use animation when logout'
})

Support extended custom label settings

You can further customize the behaviour of this library with setting commitMessage field in your package.json:

 "commitMessage": {
    "labels": [
      "choose-word",
      "learning-meme"
    ],
    "feature": [
      "speed"
    ],
    "support": [
      "webpack"
    ]
  }

In the above example, all labels members will be labels in feat, fix, test commit types.

All feature members will be labels in feat commit type.

All support members will be labels in chore commit type.

Change of working directory

const cwd = process.env.COMMIT_MESSAGE_CWD || process.cwd()
