A Conventional Changelog based parser for git commit messages.
This is a library (and maybe a tool) that parses strings in a git message format based off of Conventional Changelog. The intent is to allow for some extra flexibility in how messages are formatted and to provide a few extra features.
Essentially, this library will parse a block of text with one (or more) messages formatted like this:
feat(tag|Scope): Title of the message.
Body of the message.
Footer of the message with some additional #tags #here.
Each part is optional, aside from the feat and Title of the message.
The library / tool will parse these messages into an easy-to-utilize data format--allowing further use and/or manipulation of the data to generate changelogs automatically from git messages.
This is mostly a project to practice various forms of pattern matching and parsing (specifically in Nim.) It might also be useful for a changelog generation tool? It is definitely not the best way to do this parsing, and is not the fastest either. It is intended to be correct, except for perhaps some unique edge-cases. Feel free to let me know of better PEG grammars or other improvements if you happen to look at this!
This parsing library makes use of the excellent npeg PEG library by zevv.
Tests can be run using the nimble tool included with the standard Nim distribution. Easiest way to run the tests is to run nimble test from the project root. You can also directly run the tests contained in tests/.
