We write code and then do commits, as everyone does.
Our commits rely on conventional commits system.
Releases are tied to the commit messages via semantic-release.
Any commit(a PR merge) into dev
, which is our main branch, is published to Github.
Basically, Angular commit message conventions.
Below is just copy-paste:
Each commit message consists of a header, a body, and a footer.
<header>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
The header
is mandatory and must conform to the Commit Message Header format.
The body
is mandatory for all commits except for those of type "docs".
When the body is present it must be at least 20 characters long and must conform to the Commit Message Body format.
The footer
is optional. The Commit Message Footer format describes what the footer is used for and the structure it must have.
<type>(<scope>): <short summary>
│ │ │
│ │ └─⫸ Summary in present tense. Not capitalized. No period at the end.
│ │
│ └─⫸ Commit Scope: component|animations|bazel|benchpress|common|compiler|compiler-cli|core|
│ elements|forms|http|language-service|localize|platform-browser|
│ platform-browser-dynamic|platform-server|router|service-worker|
│ upgrade|zone.js|packaging|changelog|docs-infra|migrations|ngcc|ve|
│ devtools
│
└─⫸ Commit Type: build|ci|docs|feat|fix|perf|refactor|test
The <type>
and <summary>
fields are mandatory, the (<scope>)
field is optional.
Must be one of the following:
- build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
- ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: Travis, Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs)
- docs: Documentation only changes
- feat: A new feature
- fix: A bug fix
- perf: A code change that improves performance
- refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
- test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
The scope should be the name of the npm package or component affected (as perceived by the person reading the changelog generated from commit messages).
The following is the list of supported scopes:
select2
file-explorer
button
storybook
The footer can contain information about breaking changes and deprecations and is also the place to reference GitHub issues, Jira tickets, and other PRs that this commit closes or is related to.
For example:
BREAKING CHANGE: <breaking change summary>
<BLANK LINE>
<breaking change description + migration instructions>
<BLANK LINE>
<BLANK LINE>
Fixes #<issue number>
simple:
feat(select): add `searchable` prop
docs: add `CONTRIBUTING.MD`
ci: update npm release workflow
fix(file-explorer): selection bug
with BREAKING CHANGE(this will trigger a major version bump):
feat(select): remove `width` prop
BREAKING CHANGE: The `width` prop has been removed.
We no longer need to specify `width` by hand.
-
if the commit header has
feat
, we do a minor release(1.2.0) -
if the commit header has
break
, we do a major release(2.0.0) -
everything else produces a patch(1.1.2)
-
if the footer has
BREAKING CHANGE
, then it's major release(2.0.0)
