Override default config per module/package

[agaudreault]

Is there a way to define configurations in a .releaserc or package.json file in the module path that would override the config defined at the root level for that specific package?

This way, we could define different rules per package. We mostly want to configure different presetConfig and releaseRules for the commit-analyzer and release-notes-generator plugin. This could also allow to specific plugin to be added to some packages independently.

The question seems related to #95, but I think it lacks context and it should be documented as a feature of semantic-release-monorepo if it is possible to do in a non hack-ish way!

Looking at the code, that would require this module to check if there are config in the current packagePath, load them, and merge them with the pluginConfig received in the different method wrapped such as

semantic-release-monorepo/src/only-package-commits.js

Line 80 in 089e88a

const withOnlyPackageCommits = plugin => async (pluginConfig, config) => {

Resolving the release configuration is strictly in semantic-release's domain.

I would think you should be able to achieve this using lerna exec and the extends option:

Something like:

lerna exec --concurrency 1 -- npx --no-install semantic-release -e semantic-release-monorepo, \$LERNA_ROOT_PATH/packages/$LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME/.releaserc
