cz-conventional-changelog-for-jira

Part of the commitizen family. Prompts for conventional changelog standard and also prompts for a mandatory JIRA issue.

Features

• Works seamlessly with semantic-release 🚀
• Works seamlessly with Jira smart commits
• Automatically detects the Jira issue from the branch name

Quickstart

Installation

npm install commitizen @digitalroute/cz-conventional-changelog-for-jira

and then add the following to package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "commit": "git-cz"
  },
  "config": {
    "commitizen": {
      "path": "./node_modules/@digitalroute/cz-conventional-changelog-for-jira"
    }
  }
}

Usage

Configuration

Like commitizen, you can specify the configuration of cz-conventional-changelog-for-jira through the package.json's config.commitizen key, or with environment variables.

Environment variable	package.json	Default	Description
CZ_JIRA_MODE	jiraMode	true	If this is set to true, CZ will ask for a Jira issue and put it in the commit head. If set to false CZ will ask for the issue in the end, and can be used for GitHub.
CZ_MAX_HEADER_WIDTH	maxHeaderWidth	72	This limits how long a commit message head can be.
CZ_MIN_HEADER_WIDTH	minHeaderWidth	2	This limits how short a commit message can be.
CZ_MAX_LINE_WIDTH	maxLineWidth	100	Commit message bodies are automatically wrapped. This decides how long the lines will be.
CZ_SKIP_SCOPE	skipScope	true	If scope should be used in commit messages.
	scopes	undefined	A list (JS Array) of scopes that will be available for selection. Note that adding this will change the scope field from Inquirer 'input' to 'list'.
CZ_TYPE	defaultType	undefined	The default type.
CZ_SCOPE	defaultScope	undefined	The default scope.
CZ_CUSTOM_SCOPE	customScope	false	Whether user can provide custom scope in addition to predefined ones
CZ_SUBJECT	defaultSubject	undefined	A default subject.
CZ_BODY	defaultBody	undefined	A default body.
CZ_ISSUES	defaultIssues	undefined	A default issue.
CZ_JIRA_OPTIONAL	jiraOptional	false	If this is set to true, you can leave the JIRA field blank.
CZ_JIRA_PREFIX	jiraPrefix	"DAZ"	If this is set it will be will be displayed as the default JIRA ticket prefix
CZ_JIRA_LOCATION	jiraLocation	"pre-description"	Changes position of JIRA ID. Options: pre-type, pre-description, post-description, post-body
CZ_JIRA_PREPEND	jiraPrepend	""	Prepends JIRA ID with an optional decorator. e.g.: [DAZ-1234
CZ_JIRA_APPEND	jiraAppend	""	Appends JIRA ID with an optional decorator. e.g.: DAZ-1234]
CZ_JIRA_SEPARATOR	jiraSeparator	" "	Separate JIRA ID with an optional decorator. e.g.: DAZ-1234:feat
CZ_EXCLAMATION_MARK	exclamationMark	false	On breaking changes, adds an exclamation mark (!) after the scope, e.g.: type(scope)!: break stuff. When activated, reduces the effective allowed header length by 1.
CZ_SKIP_BREAKING	skipBreaking	false	If true then skip asking for the breaking change prompt

Jira Location Options

pre-type:

JIRA-1234 type(scope): commit subject

pre-description:

type(scope): JIRA-1234 commit subject

post-description:

type(scope): commit subject JIRA-1234

post-body:

type(scope): commit subject

JIRA-1234

type(scope): commit subject

this is a commit body

JIRA-1234

Dynamic Configuration

Alternatively, if you want to create your own profile, you can use the configurable approach. Here is an example: ./index.js

const custom = require('@digitalroute/cz-conventional-changelog-for-jira/configurable');
// You can do this optionally if you want to extend the commit types
const defaultTypes = require('@digitalroute/cz-conventional-changelog-for-jira/types');

module.exports = custom({
  types: {
    ...defaultTypes,
    perf: {
      description: 'Improvements that will make your code perform better',
      title: 'Performance'
    }
  },
  skipScope: false,
  scopes: ['myScope1', 'myScope2'],
  customScope: true
});

./package.json

{
  "config": {
    "commitizen": {
      "path": "./index.js"
    }
  }
}

This example would:

• Display "perf" as an extra commit type
• Ask you to add a commit scope
• Limit the scope selection to either myScope or myScope2

List of all supported configurable options when using the configurable approach:

Key	Default	Description
jiraMode	true	If this is set to true, CZ will ask for a Jira issue and put it in the commit head. If set to false CZ will ask for the issue in the end, and can be used for GitHub.
maxHeaderWidth	72	This limits how long a commit message head can be.
minHeaderWidth	2	This limits how short a commit message can be.
maxLineWidth	100	Commit message bodies are automatically wrapped. This decides how long the lines will be.
skipScope	true	If scope should be used in commit messages.
defaultType	undefined	The default type.
defaultScope	undefined	The default scope.
defaultSubject	undefined	A default subject.
defaultBody	undefined	A default body.
defaultIssues	undefined	A default issue.
jiraPrefix	'DAZ'	The default JIRA ticket prefix that will be displayed.
types	./types.js	A list (JS Object) of supported commit types.
scopes	undefined	A list (JS Array) of scopes that will be available for selection. Note that adding this will change the scope field from Inquirer 'input' to 'list'.
customScope	false	If this is set to true, users are given an option to provide custom scope aside the ones predefined in 'scopes' array. In this case a new option named 'custom' appears in the list and once chosen a prompt appears to provide custom scope
jiraOptional	false	If this is set to true, you can leave the JIRA field blank.
jiraLocation	"pre-description"	Changes position of JIRA ID. Options: pre-type, pre-description, post-description, post-body
jiraPrepend	""	Prepends JIRA ID with an optional decorator. e.g.: [DAZ-1234
jiraAppend	""	Appends JIRA ID with an optional decorator. e.g.: DAZ-1234]
jiraSeparator	" "	Separate JIRA ID with an optional decorator. e.g.: DAZ-1234:feat
exclamationMark	false	On breaking changes, adds an exclamation mark (!) after the scope, e.g.: type(scope)!: break stuff. When activated, reduces the effective allowed header length by 1.
skipBreaking	false	If true then skip asking for the breaking change prompt

Commitlint

If using the commitlint js library, the "maxHeaderWidth" configuration property will default to the configuration of the "header-max-length" rule instead of the hard coded value of 72. This can be ovewritten by setting the 'maxHeaderWidth' configuration in package.json or the CZ_MAX_HEADER_WIDTH environment variable.
