conventional-changelog VS ESLint

conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits is a package used for creating conventional commits and has a bit more configuration possibilities with changelogs in contrast to the default Angular commit scheme.

Finally, it is also interesting to be able to automatically generate the CHANGELOG file from the commit messages. There are various tools for this, one of them is Conventional Changelog

Some projects generate change logs automatically from commits. For example, angular uses conventional-changelog.

I'm under the understanding from this issue that in semver, a package that is <1.0.0 is considered unstable. This means that a breaking change can occur at any version, usually between minors.

I dont use myself, but some people follows something like the conventional commit spec, and then uses a generator.

@semantic-release/commit-analyzer It determines the type of our release (e.g. major, minor, patch) by analyzing commits with conventional-changelog. semantic-release uses Angular Commit Message Conventions by default.

If you're a developer, you're surely familiar with Prettier and ESLint. With over 8 years of existence, they have established themselves as references in the JavaScript ecosystem.

eslint is used to avoid code errors

No lint errors: The committed code does not contain any lint errors (eslint).

Let’s walk through the steps for a one-time setup to configure husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks, ESLint with code styles conventions, prettier code formatter, and lint-staged. Husky automatically runs a script on each commit or push. This is useful for linting files to enforce code styles that keeps the entire code base following conventions.

1. Lack of Static Code Analysis Static code analysis tools like TypeScript and ESLint play a crucial role in identifying and preventing bugs. TypeScript provides static typing, enhancing the robustness of the code. ESLint detects issues and enforces coding standards. The absence of these tools can significantly elevate the likelihood of bugs due to the lack of early detection and guidance provided during development.

The industry standard for JavaScript is ESLint. VS Code has an ESLint extension. Here is a guide.

All modern linters incorporate functionality for extending configurations, although the syntax for this is often implemented differently. Taking ESLint as an example, in its latest versions, the primary extension method is through the use of the spread operator. Let's take a look at an example:
