What is @commitlint/resolve-extends?

@commitlint/resolve-extends is a utility package used to resolve and load shareable configurations for commitlint. Commitlint is a tool that helps enforce consistent commit message conventions. This package helps in resolving the 'extends' key in commitlint configuration files, allowing users to extend from predefined or custom configurations.

What are @commitlint/resolve-extends's main functionalities?

Resolve Shareable Configurations

This feature allows you to resolve and load shareable configurations specified in the 'extends' key of your commitlint configuration file. The code sample demonstrates how to resolve the '@commitlint/config-conventional' configuration.

const resolveExtends = require('@commitlint/resolve-extends');

async function resolveConfig() {
  const config = await resolveExtends(['@commitlint/config-conventional']);
  console.log(config);
}

resolveConfig();

Custom Configuration Resolution

This feature allows you to resolve custom configurations by specifying the path to the custom configuration file. The code sample demonstrates how to resolve a custom configuration located at './path/to/custom-config'.

const resolveExtends = require('@commitlint/resolve-extends');

async function resolveCustomConfig() {
  const config = await resolveExtends(['./path/to/custom-config']);
  console.log(config);
}

resolveCustomConfig();
