git-fcm

git formatted commit message

Tool for executing a git commit with a defined template. All commits in the repository will have the same structure.

Install

As npm run script

Install and add to devDependencies: npm:

$ npm install --save-dev git-fcm

or yarn:

$ yarn add -D git-fcm

Add an npm run script to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "commit": "git-fcm"
  }
}

Now you can use npm run commit or yarn commit.

As global bin

Install globally (add to your PATH):

npm:

npm i -g git-fcm

or yarn:

$ yarn global add git-fcm

Now you can use git-fcm on any repo/package without adding a dev dependency to each one and without command npm run.

Commit Template

Insert template into .gfc.json file.

Structure:

{
    "templateLines": [ //TemplateLine[]. Array of template lines
        {
            "description": "", //Description of line
            "lineFields": [ //fields on the line 
                {
                    "name": "", //name of field
                    "type": "",  //one of type: text, select, constText
                    "startString": "",   //text added at the beginning of field
                    "endString": "",    //text added at the end of field
                    "question": "",     //question to display
                    "description": "",  //description
                    "data": {},         //currently not use, not required
                    "minLength": 0,     //Min length of input text, not required
                    "maxLength": 0,      //Max length of input text, not required
                    "options": {    //not required
                        "addStartStringWhenEmpty": true,    //add text from the 'startString' field if the text for this line is empty
                        "addEndStringWhenEmpty": true,      //add text from the 'endString' field if the text for this line is empty
                    }
                }//,{...}
            ],
            "startString": "", //text added at the beginning of the line. not required
            "endString": "",  //text added at the end of the line. not required
            "options": {    //not required
                "addStartStringWhenEmpty": true,    //add text from the 'startString' field if the text for this line is empty
                "addEndStringWhenEmpty": true,      //add text from the 'endString' field if the text for this line is empty
            }
        }//,{...}
    ],
    "options": {    //not required
        "addStartStringWhenEmpty": true,    //add text from the 'startString' field if the text from input or the whole line is empty
        "addEndStringWhenEmpty": true,      //add text from the 'endString' field if the text from input or the whole line is empty
    }
}

Options

In template, templateLines and templateFields you can set options:

• addStartStringWhenEmpty - add text from the startString field if the text from input or the whole line is empty. If this options is set in main object refers to the entire template. If you set this options in templateLines or templateField this options refers to specific templateLines or templateField. Default true.
• addEndStringWhenEmpty - add text from the endString field if the text from input or the whole line is empty. If this options is set in main object refers to the entire template. If you set this options in templateLines or templateField this options refers to specific templateLines or templateField. Default true.

Child overwrites the globals parameters!
