You can add new changelog items, and if you release, the changelog is updated with the new version and the version file. Thus, it is easy to manage a customer changelog. The changelog is a JSON file that can easily be integrated into a controller to present to the end customer. See [ROADMAP](ROADMAP.md) for new functions. *HINT*: Please run 'php artisan vendor:publish --tag=resources' Version Compatibility --------------------- [](#version-compatibility) Release Changelog GeneratorPHPLaravel0.1.x>=8.090.2.0>=8.090.2.1>=8.09 / 10 (not tested)0.3.x>=8.19 / 100.4.x>=8.2111.0.x>=8.311, 12Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via Composer: ``` composer require lightszentip/laravel-release-changelog-generator ``` Please publish the necessary files with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lightszentip\LaravelReleaseChangelogGenerator\ServiceProvider" php artisan vendor:publish --tag=resources ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) If the command is used without arguments, the command line creates an ask for all necessary arguments. ### Create a new changelog item: [](#create-a-new-changelog-item) ``` php artisan changelog:add --type="feat" --message="Implement the whole function for magic" ``` You can find the result in resources/.changes/changelog.json ### Release the changelog [](#release-the-changelog) ``` php artisan changelog:release --releasename="My First Release" --type=patch ``` This updates the version.yml to the next patch version and add in the changelog.json a new release with all current changelog items. ### Update CHANGELOG.md file: [](#update-changelogmd-file) This will update the CHANGELOG.md file in the root with your changes. ``` php artisan changelog:generate-md ``` ### Get the version in the application [](#get-the-version-in-the-application) #### Blade [](#blade) ``` @releasechangelog ``` To get a special format for the version, you find in the 'releasechangelog.php' in the config dir the item ' version\_formats'.
