Documentation Customising commit messages

Indiekit provides content store plug-ins with a metaData object. This contains the following meta data that can be used in commit messages:

• action: Action to take i.e. ‘create’, ‘upload’.
• result: Result of action, i.e. ‘created’, ’uploaded’.
• fileType: File type, i.e. ’post’ or ‘file‘.
• postType: IndieWeb post type, i.e. ‘note’, ‘photo’, ‘reply’.

By default, Indiekit outputs the action, postType and fileType, for example create photo post. If you want to change the format to output Created a photo post, you can do the following:

const _ = require('lodash');

indiekit.set('publication.storeMessageTemplate', metaData => {
  const {result, postType, fileType} = metaData;
  return `${_.upperFirst(result)} a ${postType} ${fileType}`;
});
