Introduction

Limit scopes per type with regexp and plain text.

Installation

npm i commitlint-plugin-selective-scope --save-dev

Usage

• If a type does not appear in the rule, do not enforce scope
• If a type appears in the rule with an empty array, do not allow scope
• If a type appears in the rule with an non-empty array, only allow the values in the array for scope.
• If the array includes null, the scope is optional.

Example

module.exports = {
  plugins: ['selective-scope'],
  rules: {
    'selective-scope': [
      2,
      'always',
      {
        feat: [/^frontend\/[^\/]+$/, 'backend'],
        perf: [],
        ci: [null, 'codebuild', 'jenkins']
      }
    ]
  }
}

In the above rules configuration,

• if the type is feat, the scope must be either match the regex /frontend\/[^\/]+/ or be backend
• if the type if chore, the scope is optional and can be anything
• if the type is perf, a scope is not allowed
• if the type is ci, the scope must be codebuild or jenkins if present, but is not required
