Struct parse_changelog::Parser

pub struct Parser { /* private fields */ }

A changelog parser.

Implementations

impl Parser

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates a new changelog parser.

pub fn version_format(&mut self, format: &str) -> Result<&mut Self, Error>

Sets the version format.

## v0.1.0 -- 2020-01-01
    ^^^^^

Tip: To customize the text before the version number (e.g., “v” in “# v0.1.0”, “Version “ in “# Version 0.1.0”, etc.), use the prefix_format method instead of this method.

Default

The default version format is based on Semantic Versioning.

This is parsed by using the following regular expression:

^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)(-[0-9A-Za-z\.-]+)?(\+[0-9A-Za-z\.-]+)?$|^Unreleased$

Note: To get the ‘Unreleased’ section in the CLI, you need to explicitly specify ‘Unreleased’ as the version.

Errors

Returns an error if any of the following:

• The specified format is not a valid regular expression or supported by regex crate.
• The specified format is empty or contains only whitespace.

pub fn prefix_format(&mut self, format: &str) -> Result<&mut Self, Error>

Sets the prefix format.

“Prefix” means the range from the first non-whitespace character after heading to the character before the version (including whitespace characters). For example:

## Version 0.1.0 -- 2020-01-01
   ^^^^^^^^

## v0.1.0 -- 2020-01-01
   ^

Default

By default only “v”, “Version “, “Release “, and “” (no prefix) are allowed as prefixes.

This is parsed by using the following regular expression:

^(v|Version |Release )?

Errors

Returns an error if any of the following:

• The specified format is not a valid regular expression or supported by regex crate.

pub fn parse<'a>(&self, text: &'a str) -> Result<Changelog<'a>, Error>

Parses release notes from the given text.

See crate level documentation for changelog and version format supported by default.

Errors

Returns an error if any of the following:

• There are multiple release notes for one version.
• No release was found. This usually means that the changelog isn’t written in the supported format, or that the specified format is wrong if you specify your own format.

pub fn parse_iter<'a, 'r>(&'r self, text: &'a str) -> ParseIter<'a, 'r>

Returns an iterator over all release notes in the given text.

Unlike parse method, the returned iterator doesn’t error on duplicate release notes or empty changelog.

See crate level documentation for changelog and version format supported by default.
