| message | string
| yes | The question to ask |
| choices | Array<{ value: any, name?: string, disabled?: boolean \| string, checked?: boolean }>
| yes | List of the available choices. The value
will be returned as the answer, and used as display if no name
is defined. Choices who're disabled
will be displayed, but not selectable. |
| pageSize | number
| no | By default, lists of choice longer than 7 will be paginated. Use this option to control how many choices will appear on the screen at once. |
| sortingLoop | boolean
| no | Defaults to false
. When set to true
, moving first item up will move it to the end of the list, and moving last item down will move it to the start of the list. |
| required | boolean
| no | When set to true
, ensures at least one choice must be selected. |
| validate | string\[\] => boolean \| string \| Promise<string \| boolean>
| no | On submit, validate the choices. When returning a string, it'll be used as the error message displayed to the user. Note: returning a rejected promise, we'll assume a code error happened and crash. |
| theme | See Theming | no | Customize look of the prompt. |
