Allow `issuePrefixes` to be a RegEx

Currently, I have to set a multitude of prefixes for all my projects, and it would be best if I could just allow a RegEx:

Actual: issuePrefixes: ['XCAF-', 'ELNEW-', 'CRES-'] Preferred: issuePrefixes: /[A-Z]+-/

Would be even better if we could just define what an issue is instead of just a prefix. That would allow for any system: /#(\d+)\b/, /\b([A-Z]+-\d+)\b/, /\b(\d+)\$/, etc (notice the capturing group as well so it captures exactly what an issue is)

Yes, I’ll give it a shot this weekend

I’ve checked the issue prefix code, technically you can pass valid regex as a string and it will be converted into regex.

We are using JIRA for issues, the format is JIRA-123, but JIRA part is usually project-specific, i.e. PROJA or PROJB, so passing -i "[A-Z]+-" matches JIRA tickets.

But, it also matches J-I-R-A-1, doesn’t match J-I-R-A.

I.e. log.txt

fix: something

Closes JIRA-123

conventional-commits-parser -i "[A-Z]+-" log.txt will match JIRA-123:

$ conventional-commits-parser -i "[A-Z]+-" log.txt | jq .
