Install
npm i @conventional-commits/parserUsage
const {parser} = require('@conventional-commits/parser')
const ast = parser('feat(parser): add support for scopes')API
parser(text: string)
Runs conventional commits parser on the string provided.
- Returns: Object adhering to unist spec.

Given an object, representing the parsed commit messages in unist format,

The Grammar
The parser is based on the following grammar. An effort is made to keep this in sync with the written specification on conventionalcommits.org.
