Rules

This plugin adds 2 rules:

• footer-format:
  • This rule determines the format a single footer line has to adhere to by allowing you to specify a set of regular expressions.
  • The rule passes in case there is no footer.
• footer-max-occurrence-breaking-change:
  • This rule allows you to specify how many occurrences the footer can contain of BREAKING CHANGE: <description>. You're allowed to pass in your own regex [2, 'always', { max: 1, regex: /^BREAKING CHANGE: .*$/ }]
  • The rule passes in case there is no footer.
  • Specifying never has no effect.

Sample configuration

module.exports = {
	extends: ['@commitlint/config-conventional'],
	plugins: ['cleanfeet'],
	rules: {
		'footer-format': [
			2, 
			'always', 
			[
				'^BREAKING CHANGE: .*',
				'^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+: .*',
				'^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+ #.*'
			]
		],
		'footer-max-occurrence-breaking-change': [2, 'always', { max: 1, regex: /^BREAKING CHANGE: .*$/ }]
	}
};
