🚀 🕵️‍♀️ Semantic-Release Commit Filter

This package is a shareable configuration for semantic-release that:

  • configures tagFormat to use the package name from the current directory ${package.name}-v${version}
  • uses commits only applicable to the current directory

❓ Why

Suppose you have a monorepo with two packages:

$ tree -P "package.json|release.config.js" -I node_modules mono-semver
mono-semver
├── package.json
├── packages
│   ├── pkg1
│   │   ├── package.json
│   │   └── release.config.js
│   └── pkg2
│       ├── package.json
│       └── release.config.js
└── release.config.js

3 directories, 6 files

Now we can run semantic-release in any of the package directories and/or in the top-level directory.

CHANGELOG.md files and package.json versions will be maintained in every directory.

📦 Installation

Make sure that if you have semantic-version installed globally, also install semantic-version-commit-filter globally. Same with local install.

$ npm install --dev semantic-version-commit-filter

$ yarn install --dev semantic-version-commit-filter

!! make sure you make semantic-release available in every package.json file. Additionally, every package directory needs its own semantic release configuration file.

⚙️ Configuration

You can either specify this packages in your release config file:

{
  "extends": ["semantic-release-commit-filter"]
}

or specify it as a paramater to the semantic-release cli

$ npx semantic-release -e semantic-release-commit-filter
