Before committing changes to packages/ directory, check if a changeset is needed.
A changeset is required when:
Check for existing changesets:
ls .changeset/*.md
If no changeset exists for your changes, create one:
pnpm changeset
Published packages in this monorepo:
@openzeppelin/ui-types@openzeppelin/ui-utils@openzeppelin/ui-styles@openzeppelin/ui-components@openzeppelin/ui-renderer@openzeppelin/ui-react@openzeppelin/ui-storageThe following checks run automatically on commit:
pnpm format:checkIf pre-commit fails, fix the issues and commit again.
Before pushing, these checks run:
pnpm fix-allpnpm typecheckpnpm testIf pre-push fails, fix the issues and push again.
Indicate breaking changes with ! after type/scope:
feat(types)!: change network config interface
Or with a footer:
feat(types): change network config interface
BREAKING CHANGE: NetworkConfig interface now requires chainId property.
All consumers must update their configuration.
Symptom: Commit fails with permission errors, GPG signing fails, or hooks don't run.
Fix: Run commit commands with full shell permissions (outside sandbox).
Symptom: scope-enum error from commitlint.
Fix: Use one of the allowed scopes above. If a new scope is justified, update commitlint.config.js.
Symptom: subject-case error.
Fix: Use lowercase for the entire subject:
Add new featureadd new featureSymptom: scope-empty error from commitlint.
Fix: Always include a scope. Choose the most relevant package or category.
