Semantic calendar bumps aren't working about node-calver

[kherock]

I'm not sure what you mean, in my case I don't have major releases. Every month or so when I go to make a release, I do a version bump to the current date. Sometimes I'll end up with more than one release in a month, which ends up incrementing versions resembling 21.12.1, 21.12.2, etc. This is the whole reason I'm using CalVer - I don't want to think about the semantics of a major vs minor vs patch bump since the software I'm releasing doesn't have a public API.

The most important thing that I want out of this library is that it saves me from teaching my release pipeline how to increment the version when the date hasn't changed substantially. I don't see a simple way for me to increment my version number without my pipeline being aware of the date on the last release with the current API.

> const fmt = 'YY.MM.patch'
> calver.inc(fmt, '21.12.0', 'calendar')
'21.12.0' // doesn't return a new version number

> calver.inc(fmt, '21.11.0', 'patch')
'21.11.1' // version number has an incorrect month

> calver.inc(fmt, calver.inc(fmt, '21.11.0', 'calendar'), 'patch')
'21.12.1' // skipped version '21.12.0'

Hey @kherock

You have to be specifying the level of the release when releasing it in your codebase, don't you?

If you were set it to calendar.minor but what if a major update comes?

I understand. Yes, I intentionally ignored this use case. In the current implementation, the library is more flexible and have the potential to cover various use cases. Your use case can be implemented as:

calver.inc(fmt, '21.12.0', 'calendar', {fallbackLevelOrSecondaryLevel: 'semantic'})

I'll be asking to use the previous release until I implement this.

@kherock hello hello again, sorry for returning late about this. i made the library a bit more opinionated. regarding this case, the lib supports specifying calendar and semantic tags again. so you can safely use the example you gave above. it will try to increase calendar portion and after that the semantic portion increase/reset depending on the calendar portion updated or not.

Closing this case now but please let me know if you need any help in this.
