Generate a changelog from git metadata

Usage

You most likely only need to use this module if you're building a library that provides an abstraction on top of conventional commits, See Getting started if you're an end-user.

$ npm install --save conventional-changelog

var conventionalChangelog = require('conventional-changelog');

conventionalChangelog({
  preset: 'angular'
})
  .pipe(process.stdout); // or any writable stream

Or if you want to use your own custom preset:

var conventionalChangelog = require('conventional-changelog');

var config = require('@org/conventional-changelog-custom-preset');
conventionalChangelog({config})
  .pipe(process.stdout); // or any writable stream

API

conventionalChangelog([options, [context, [gitRawCommitsOpts, [parserOpts, [writerOpts]]]]])

Returns a readable stream.

options

See the conventional-changelog-core docs. The API is the same with the following changes or additions:

preset

Type: string Possible values: 'angular', 'atom', 'codemirror', 'ember', 'eslint', 'express', 'jquery', 'jscs', 'jshint'

It's recommended to use a preset so you don't have to define everything yourself. Presets are names of built-in config.

A scoped preset package such as @scope/conventional-changelog-custom-preset can be used by passing @scope/custom-preset to this option.

NOTE: options.config will be overwritten by the values of preset. You should use either preset or config, but not both.
