Semantic Commit Message in JS
Validate Conventional Commits format: type(scope)!: description.
Try it in the JS tester →Pattern
regexJS
^(feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|chore|revert)(\([a-z0-9\-]+\))?(!)?:\s.+ (flags: i)JavaScript / ECMAScript code
jsJavaScript
const re = new RegExp("^(feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|chore|revert)(\\([a-z0-9\\-]+\\))?(!)?:\\s.+", "i");
const input = "feat(auth): add OAuth2 login";
const matches = [...input.matchAll(re)];
console.log(matches.map(m => m[0]));Uses `String.prototype.matchAll` for global iteration (Node 12+ / all modern browsers).
How the pattern works
The first group captures the commit type from the allowed list. (\([a-z0-9\-]+\))? optionally captures a scope in parentheses. (!)? captures a breaking change marker. :\s requires a colon and space before the description. The i flag makes types case-insensitive.
