Typed Prompts

Well-Typed, written in TypeScript, interactive terminal prompts.

This is really just a typed wrapper around the robust library inquirer with typings for a TypeScript user like myself. If you don't care for the typings I'd suggest using inquirer directly.

Get it

npm install --save typed-prompts

Basic Usage

import { prompt, list } from 'typed-prompts'

interface Answers {
  whatsUp: string;
}

prompt<Answers>([
  list('whatsUp', 'What is up?', [
    'the sky',
    'the stars',
    'the ceiling'
  ])
])
.then((answers) => {
  console.log(answers.whatsUp); // 'the sky'
})

API

prompt<T>(questions: Array<Question>, options?: { stdout: WritableStream, stdin: ReadableStream }): Promise<T>;

This is the main function exposed by this library. It is responsible for asking your questions.

separator(): Separator

This creates a separator object to place boundaries in a list of choices for ListQuestion RawListQuestion and CheckboxQuestion.

Convenience Functions

checkbox(name, message, choices[, options]): CheckboxQuestion

confirm(name, message[, options]): ConfirmQuestion

editor(name, message, [, options]): EditorQuestion

expand(name, message, choices[, options]): ExpandQuestion

input(name, message[, options]): InputQuestion

list(name, message, choices[, options]): ListQuestion

password(name, message[, options]): PasswordQuestion

rawList(name, message, choices[, options]): RawListQuestion

There are convenience functions checkbox, confirm, editor, expand, input, list, password, and rawList to create its corresponding Question object. Honestly, I'm being a bit lazy at the moment and won't document them to their fullest just yet because this README would end up large and cluttered with types. If you're not using TypeScript, I'd suggest still reading the inquirer.js docs and using it directly, but if you're using TypeScript you'll have great autocompletion for the type required by each convenience function.
