Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

$ yarn add detect-next-version

Monorepo support

For making it work on monorepo setups, you should pass options.packages - an array of package names that are changes and a options.cwd - the root of the monorepo. Usually this can be extracted from commit message or the response of lerna changed.

import detectNextVersion from 'detect-next-version';

async function main() {
  // e.g. /home/charlike/develop/some-monorepo
  const cwd = process.cwd();

  // try using `git-commits-since` for getting all commits
  // it returns an object with `rawCommits` property
  const commits = ['feat: foo bar', 'chore(ok): qux okey'];
  const packages = ['@tunnckocore/qq5', 'foo-bar-baz-qux'];

  const results = await detectNextVersion(commits, { packages, cwd });
  console.log(results);

  const [itemOne, itemTwo] = results;
  console.log(itemOne.name); // => '@tunnckocore/qq5'
  console.log(itemOne.path); // => '@tunnckocore/qq5'
  console.log(itemOne.increment); // => 'minor'
  console.log(itemOne.lastVersion); // => '0.1.0'
  console.log(itemOne.nextVersion); // => '0.2.0'
  console.log(itemOne.cwd); // => /home/charlike/develop/some-monorepo

  console.log(itemTwo.name); // => 'foo-bar-baz-qux'
  console.log(itemTwo.path); // => 'packages/foo-bar-baz-qux'
  console.log(itemTwo.increment); // => 'minor'
  console.log(itemTwo.lastVersion); // => '1.0.4'
  console.log(itemTwo.nextVersion); // => '1.1.0'
  console.log(itemTwo.cwd); // => /home/charlike/develop/some-monorepo
}

main().catch(console.error);

API

Generated using docks.

src/index.js

detectNextVersion

Calculates next version of given package with name, based given commitMessages which should follow the Conventional Commits Specification. Options are passed directly to @tunnckocore/package-json and recommended-bump packages. Also because the recommended-bump, you can pass options.plugins which will be passed to parse-commit-message commit message parser. So follow their docs and see the tests here for example usage. If all commit messages are of type that is not patch|fix|minor|feat|major or containing BREAKING CHANGE: label (e.g. the chore type), then the returned result won't have nextVersion and increment will be false.

ProTip: See parse-commit-message types documentation!

Params

  • commits {string|} directly passed to recommended-bump May be one of string, Array<string> or Array<Commit>
  • [options] {object} optional, passed to above mentioned packages.

Returns

  • Array<object> an array of objects where each is basically the return of recommended-bump plus { pkg, name, cwd, path, lastVersion, nextVersion? }.

Examples

type Commit = {
  header: Header;
  body?: string | null;
  footer?: string | null;
  increment?: string | boolean;
  isBreaking?: boolean;
  mentions?: Array<Mention>;
};
import detector from 'detect-next-version';

async function main() {
  const commits = ['chore(ci): some build tweaks', 'fix(cli): foo bar'];

  // consider `my-npm-package` is version 0.1.0
  const [result] = await detector(commits, { name: 'my-npm-package' });
  console.log(result.increment); // => 'patch'
  console.log(result.pkg); // => package's latest package.json metadata
  console.log(result.lastVersion); // => '0.1.0'
  console.log(result.nextVersion); // => '0.1.1'
  console.log(result.patch[0].header.type); // => 'fix'
  console.log(result.patch[0].header.scope); // => 'cli'
  console.log(result.patch[0].header.subject); // => 'foobar'
  console.log(result.patch[0].header.toString()); // => 'fix(cli): foobar'
}

main().catch(console.error);
import { parse } from 'parse-commit-message';
import detector from 'detect-next-version';

async function main() {
  const commitOne = parse('fix: foo bar');
  const commitTwo = parse('feat: some feature subject');

  // always an array, but we can destruct it here,
  // because we know that it has only one item
  const [result] = await detector([commitOne, commitTwo], {
    name: '@my-org/my-awesomepkg',
  });
  console.log(result.increment); // => 'minor'
}

main().catch(console.error);
