Description to Co Authors

Parses co-authors from Git/GitHub-style commit messages and issue bodies.

Usage

npm i description-to-co-authors

Pass any variant of Git/GitHub-style commit message or issue body string to this package's exported descriptionToCoAuthors. It will collect data from each case-insensitive co-authored-by: match. Data may include email, name, and/or username:

import { descriptionToCoAuthors } from "description-to-co-authors";

descriptionToCoAuthors(`
co-authored-by: @DirectUsername
Co-authored-by: Josh Goldberg <github@joshuakgoldberg.com>
`);

[
	{
		"username": "DirectUsername"
	},
	{
		"email": "github@joshuakgoldberg.com",
		"name": "Josh Goldberg"
	}
]

Proper Co-authored-by attributions should use the name <email> format, not @username. The @username extension is only there as a friendly compatibility layer for GitHub users who don't allow seeing their email. Please don't use it unless you absolutely need to.
