Use regex when comparing header types

[sidlatau]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am using custom regex for allowed types:

headerPattern: '^(feat:|fix:|chore:|refact:|ci:|docs:|\[axof: \d+\]|\[axod: \d+\]) (.*)$'

As I understand I need to list all available types. But some of the types are regexes. The list looks like this:

          types: |
            feat:
            fix:
            chore:
            refact:
            ci:
            docs:
            [axof: \d+]
            [axod: \d+]

The problem is that regexes does not work for types, because types.includes(result.type) is used for the check.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would want to treat types as regexes:

function isUnknownType(type) {
    for (type of types) {
      const regex = new RegExp(type);
      if (regex.test(result.type)) {
        return false;
      }
    }
    return true;
  }
 ...
   if (isUnknownType(result.type)) {
    raiseError(
      `Unknown release type "${
      result.type
      }" found in pull request title "${prTitle}". \n\n${printAvailableTypes()}`
    );
  }

I have a working code in forked repository:

Would it be possible/useful for others to add such functionality in this action? Or maybe there is an other way how to do it without code changes?
