Kind Formatting

Configuration can be split per kind of change to allow more flexibility. Most configurations are optional and will default to the shared formatting values when omitted.

Example of a two line breaking change:

kinds:
  - label: Breaking
    header: "## :warning: Breaking"
    skipGlobalChoices: true
    changeFormat: >-
      * {{.Reason}}
      {{.Body}}      
    additionalChoices:
    - key: Reason
      label: Reason for breaking change
      type: string

label

type: string | default: "" | required

Label is the only required element for kinds. This value is shown to users as part of the Kind selection prompt. It is also the value saved in change files.

type: string | default: "" | optional

Header allows you to override the header output. Overrides the shared kind format when specified.

Header Arguments

Field	Type	Description
Kind	string	Kind label value

changeFormat

type: string | default: "" | optional

Change format allows you to override the output of a change for each kind. Overrides the shared change format when specified.

skipBody

type: bool | default: false | optional

Whether or not our kind will skip the default body prompt.

skipGlobalChoices

type: bool | default: false | optional

Whether or not our kind will skip the global choices configuration. This allows you to create kinds that have a specific set of custom choices separate from the other kinds.

additionalChoices

type: []Choice | default: empty | optional

Additional choices is a list of custom choices identical to the global choices but for only this one kind. These choices will be asked after the global choices. You will need to create a custom change format to use the new choices.
