Log Parser Hooks

The core of auto is built around parsing information from the output of git log in your repository. We take that output and iterate over it to extract information from the commits. The construct that does that work is the LogParse class.

The LogParse class is involved in any command that interacts with the git log. You can use its hooks to attach information to the commit object (parseCommit) or make auto ignore commits entirely (omitCommit).

onCreateLogParse

This is where you hook into the log parser's hooks. See examples below.

parseCommit

Parse information about a commit from a commit. Here is where auto gets the PR number from the merge commits.

auto.hooks.onCreateLogParse.tapPromise('Stars', logParse =>
  logParse.hooks.parseCommit.tap(
    'test',
    (commit) => {
      const bump = getBump(commit.subject, logParse.options.versionLabels);
      commit.labels = [bump]
      return commit;
    }
  );
);
auto.hooks.onCreateLogParse.tapPromise('Stars', logParse =>
  logParse.hooks.parseCommit.tap(
    'test',
    (commit) => {
      const bump = getBump(commit.subject, logParse.options.versionLabels);
      commit.labels = [bump]
      return commit;
    }
  );
);

Other examples:

• In core:
  • Find PR number from commits message
  • Attaches labels from pull requests
  • Attaches GitHub author information
• conventional-commits - Parse change types from commit messages

omitCommit

Choose to omit certain commits. If you return true the commit will be omitted. Be sure to return nothing if you don't want the commit omitted.

auto.hooks.onCreateLogParse.tapPromise('Stars', changelog =>
  changelog.hooks.omitCommit.tap(
    'test',
    (commit) => {
      if (someTest(commit.subject)) {
        return true;
      }
    }
  );
);
auto.hooks.onCreateLogParse.tapPromise('Stars', changelog =>
  changelog.hooks.omitCommit.tap(
    'test',
    (commit) => {
      if (someTest(commit.subject)) {
        return true;
      }
    }
  );
);

Other examples:

• gradle - Omit commits from the Gradle Release plugin
• maven - Omit commits from the Maven Release plugin
• omit-commit - Omit commits from authors, labels, and more
