Closed-source options about git-changelog

[rafinskipg]

Hi, @richardthombs , yeah you can write a pull request if you want.

All the default options are specified in /tasks/default.js .

In the /tasks/command.js you can see an example of how this defaults are overriden:

var defaults = require('./defaults');
var _ = require('lodash');
var options = _.defaults({}, defaults);

The lodash _.defaults methods, clones the object and assigns some extra overriden values. (See lodash.com docs)

After having the options object, we assign some new values from the CLI with options.whatever = whatever. Then we send them to the generator:

git_changelog.generate(options)

The generate method is in /tasks/lib/generate. This first of all invokes the .init method, that configures the library with the options in the this.initOptions(params); method. (That is at /tasks/lib/init-options.js).

I see a bit of duplicity here this.options = _.defaults(params, defaults);. But whatever, here are finally setted the options in the library.

Your new options should arrive to this point. Then use them as needed accesing to this.options.myNewOption at any point of the application. As all is a big object containing all the methods.

Sorry for the delay.

Be sure to add tests. 👍 @JohnnyEstilles have worked hard on getting a good coverage
