Author: Task Venture Capital GmbH
Latest version: 1.7.2

# @foss.global/codefeed

Generate an activity feed from a Gitea instance. Scans orgs and repos, retrieves commits since a configurable timestamp, enriches with tags, optional npm publish detection, and CHANGELOG snippets.

## Install

```bash
pnpm add @foss.global/codefeed
# or
npm i @foss.global/codefeed
```

Requires Node.js 18+ (global fetch/Request/Response) and ESM.

## Quick Start

```ts
import { CodeFeed } from '@foss.global/codefeed';

// Fetch commits since one week ago (default), no caching
const feed = new CodeFeed('https://code.example.com', 'gitea_token');
const commits = await feed.fetchAllCommitsFromInstance();
console.log(commits);
```

### With options

```ts
const thirtyDays = 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
const since = new Date(Date.now() - thirtyDays).toISOString();

const feed = new CodeFeed('https://code.example.com', 'gitea_token', since, {
  enableCache: true,          // keep results in memory
  cacheWindowMs: thirtyDays,  // trim cache to this window
  enableNpmCheck: true,       // check npm for published versions
  taggedOnly: false,          // return all commits (or only tagged)
  orgAllowlist: ['myorg'],    // only scan these orgs
  orgDenylist: ['archive'],   // skip these orgs
  repoAllowlist: ['myorg/app1', 'myorg/app2'], // only these repos
  repoDenylist: ['myorg/old-repo'],            // skip these repos
  untilTimestamp: new Date().toISOString(),    // optional upper bound
  verbose: true,               // print a short metrics summary
});

const commits = await feed.fetchAllCommitsFromInstance();
```

Each returned item follows this shape:

```ts
interface ICommitResult {
  baseUrl: string;
  org: string;
  repo: string;
  timestamp: string;        // ISO date
  hash: string;             // commit SHA
  commitMessage: string;
  tagged: boolean;          // commit is pointed to by a tag
  publishedOnNpm: boolean;  // only when npm check enabled and tag matches
  prettyAgoTime: string;    // human-readable diff
  changelog: string | undefined; // snippet for matching tag version
}
```

## Features

- Pagination for orgs, repos, commits, and tags (no missing pages)
- Retries with exponential backoff for 429/5xx and network errors
- CHANGELOG discovery with case variants (`CHANGELOG.md`, `changelog.md`, `docs/CHANGELOG.md`)
- Tag-to-version mapping based on tag names (`vX.Y.Z` → `X.Y.Z`)
- Optional npm publish detection via `@org/repo` package versions
- In-memory caching with window trimming and stable sorting
- Allow/deny filters for orgs and repos, optional time upper bound
- One-line metrics summary when `verbose: true`

## Environment

- Gitea base URL and an optional token with read access
- Node.js 18+ (global fetch)

## Testing

The repo contains:
- An integration test using a `GITEA_TOKEN` from `.nogit/` via `@push.rocks/qenv`.
- A mocked pagination test that does not require network.

Run tests:

```bash
pnpm test
```

For the integration test, ensure `GITEA_TOKEN` is provided (e.g., via `.nogit/` as used in `test/test.ts`).

## Notes

- When `taggedOnly` is enabled, the feed includes only commits associated with tags.
- `publishedOnNpm` is computed by matching the tag-derived version against the npm registry for `@org/repo`.
- For very large instances, consider using allowlists/denylists and enabling caching for incremental runs.
