Group commits by scope

[onrige]

Hello. I am trying to configure my own config based on angular preset. I want to group by commit scope but in writer there is no such property. Is there any way to achieve this one?

Example:

[hutson]

@onrige to my knowledge there is not a way to group commits based on commit scope.

I've tagged this issue as an enhancement request, though I don't know when, or if, the core maintainers of conventional-changelog will have time to address this request.

If you are able to take the lead on this request, we may be able to help with guidance and code reviews.

My use case is that I'd like to group commits by type and by scope, as it can be seen here: https://github.com/serverless/serverless/releases/tag/v1.64.0

I take it's not possible currently to automate that.

Interested in this as well.

Is this something we'd want to use?

conventional-changelog/packages/conventional-changelog-angular/writer-opts.js

Line 103 in 0d73855

groupBy: 'type',

Maybe we'd want to modify

conventional-changelog/packages/conventional-changelog-writer/lib/util.js

Lines 48 to 50 in d15b90e

	const commitGroupsObj = _.groupBy(commits, function (commit) {
	return commit[groupBy] || ''
	})

to allow more customized grouping.

For example:

const commitGroupsObj = _.groupBy(commits, groupBy instanceof Function ? groupBy : commit => commit[groupBy])

@stevemao Is there any update on this as I see #908 hasn't been accepted? It would be nice if groupBy can be a function, which will allow full customization over how the grouping happens. Another options is to allow an array of strings like ["scope", "type"].

@Stamo-Gochev Hi. That PR should be up to date with fresh master. Feel free to open new PR.
