Release management in Angular with Lerna
Automate component library releases through commit conventions
Scenario: We need to release component libraries to npm because we want to consume them inside our Angular applications. We want to be able to release the components independently. Furthermore, we have some dependencies between the libraries.
Does this sound complicated? What if I tell you we want to use Semantic versioning and release multiple commits at once. And of course, we want professional looking changelogs like all the other cool projects. Does this sound too complex to you?

In this article, I will show how to release new versions of your code using tools like Lerna and Commitizen. By using commit conventions, we can automate the versioning and get great looking changelogs.
