branch-name-commit-modifier

This module installs a commit-msg hook that will prepend a project issue number inferred from either the commit message or the current branch name. More details in the examples section below.

Usage:

In your package.json add the field config and then add a subfield titled branchNameCommitModifier.

This is where you will put your options.

E.G.

{
  "name": "cool-stuff",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "this is some cool stuff",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "rm -rf /"
  },
  "author": "big dumb idiot face",
  "license": "MIT",
  "config": {
    "branchNameCommitModifier": {
      "preChar": "{",
      "postChar": "}",
      "projectName": "TESTPROJECT"
    }
  }
}

Options:

preChar : this is the character that will appear before the issue prefix.

postChar : this is the character that will appear after the issue prefix.

delimiter : this is the character that will appear between the project name and the issue number.

projectName : this is the name of the project that will be searched for.

Default options:

{
    preChar: '[',
    postChar: ']',
    delimiter: '-'
}

The default for projectName is any sequence of characters A-Z.

The following will match the default projectName value.

AWESOMEPROJECT
EXPLODINGcapybaras
LearnToChopOnions

The follow will NOT match the default projectName value.

AWESOME-PROJECT
E-X-P-L-O-D-I-N-G*c%a%p%y%b%a^r%a@s
1337pr0j3ct

Therefore, if you need to use something like the previous specify a value for your projectName field.

Examples:

config:

"config": {
  "branchNameCommitModifier": {
    "preChar": "{",
    "postChar": "}",
    "projectName": "TESTPROJECT"
}

current branch name TESTPROJECT-9999

commit command: commit -m "TESTPROJECT-0001 fixing issue 0001."

actual commit message value: "TESTPROJECT-0001 fixing issue 0001."

Note: since you did not include the prefix character or the postfix character it did not include them in the actual commit message.

same config & branch name as before

commit command: commit -m "updated the stuff in the files."

actual commit message value: "{TESTPROJECT-9999} updated the stuff in the files."

config:

"config": {
  "branchNameCommitModifier": {
    "preChar": "{",
    "postChar": "}",
    "projectName": "TESTPROJECT"
}

current branch name where am i

commit command: commit -m "idk what im doing lol."

actual commit message value: "{NO-ISSUE} idk what im doing lol."

More details:

The commit message value will always take precedence over the branch name value.

If there are any errors during install it may be a permissions issue as the install scripts tries to do the following:

1. Copy the index.js into the project's .git/hooks/commit-msg
2. Add execute permissions to the newly copied file.

Therefore, if you wish to fix any errors you can try doing the preceding steps manually.
