@favoloso/conventional-changelog-emoji

Conventional Changelog with Emojis support 🎉

The package has no runtime dependencies.

Requirements

• conventional-changelog v8+ and conventional-recommended-bump v12+ (i.e. @release-it/conventional-changelog v12+ and release-it v21+).
• Node.js v22+ (required by the tools above).

Older tools (Handlebars-based conventional-changelog-writer v8 and below) are supported by v0.10.x.

Installation

yarn add --dev @favoloso/conventional-changelog-emoji

or

npm install --save-dev @favoloso/conventional-changelog-emoji

Usage

conventional-changelog -p @favoloso/emoji -i CHANGELOG.md -s

Usage with release-it

You can use conventional-changelog plugin with the @favoloso/emoji preset.

"release-it": {
  "plugins": {
    "@release-it/conventional-changelog": {
      "preset": "@favoloso/emoji",
      "infile": "CHANGELOG.md"
    }
  }
}

Lint (and fix) commit messages

This package provides an additional bin script emoji-commit-lint.

The scripts lints and eventually changes commit messages, from traditional conventional changelog format (i.e. feat: Add a magic feature) to corresponding emoji (i.e. ✨ Add a magic feature), checks and applies correct casing (i.e. lower-case) and many more, as configured by Linter Rules.

To use it, install and initialize husky

yarn add --dev husky
yarn husky init

Now add the .husky/commit-msg hook:

HUSKY_GIT_PARAMS="$1" npx emoji-commit-lint

Now linter will check your commits. Any commit like <type>: <msg> will be automatically transformed with related emoji. See Available Emojis to see available types.

Configuration

The package works as-is, but its behaviour may be customized with the following options.

Note: Configuration is searched starting from the current directory up to the user home, in the following places (the first found wins): favolosoEmoji property in package.json, .favolosoEmojirc (JSON), .favolosoEmojirc.json, .favolosoEmojirc.js, favolosoEmoji.config.js. YAML files (.favolosoEmojirc, .favolosoEmojirc.yaml, .favolosoEmojirc.yml) are not supported anymore: please convert them to JSON.

• emojis (default: {})

  An object allowing you to customize conventional-changelog types used (as Available Emojis table).

  You should provide an object, where the key is the type you want to edit (or add), and the value is the updated configuration. Configurations will be merged with originals if existing.

  See the Custom Emoji wiki page for further details.

• rules (default: {})

  Allows to customize linter rules. See the Linter Rules wiki page for further details.

• showEmojiPerCommit (default: false)

  In the changelog, shows emoji for each commit. In the default mode (false), emojis are omitted from commits and only the heading contains them (i.e. 🐛 Bug Fixes)

• minorForBreakingInDevelopment (default: true)

  Breaking changes during development will be considered as minor instead of major bumps (see semver spec).

  4. Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything may change at any time. The public API should not be considered stable.

• language (default: en)

  Allows to translate commits group heading in CHANGELOG.md (i.e. 🐛 Bug Fixes) and in linter messages. Languages available: en, it
