@reventlessdev/reventless-conventional-changelog

⚠️ Alpha. APIs and on-disk formats can change without notice between releases. Pin exact versions and expect breaking changes.

A custom conventional-changelog preset used to generate changelogs across the Reventless monorepo — a spec-driven, event-sourced CQRS framework written in ReScript. It extends the Angular preset with monorepo-friendly tweaks so per-package changelogs stay compact and informative.

What it provides

A single preset factory (index.js) that wraps conventional-changelog-angular and:

• Strips Co-Authored-By: trailers from commit bodies, footers, and notes so they don't leak into changelog entries.
• Reduces blank lines via a tightened main template.
• Adds a "Dependency Updates" section for dependency-only version bumps: when a package has no conventional commits, it diffs the package's dependencies / devDependencies / peerDependencies against the last committed package.json and lists what actually changed, instead of the generic "Version bump only" line.

Where it fits

This is build/release tooling, not part of the framework runtime. It plugs into a conventional-changelog / Lerna release pipeline as the preset, and resolves per-package directories from lerna.json workspace globs to compute dependency diffs.

Install

pnpm add -D @reventlessdev/reventless-conventional-changelog

Point your changelog tooling at it as the preset — for example with Lerna:

{
  "changelogPreset": "@reventlessdev/reventless-conventional-changelog"
}
