Usage with package.json

If you want to use Prompt it within your package.json file, you can leverage it to ask for a schema version before making a request. Here's an example configuration:

{
  "scripts": {
    "set-schema": "curl -o schema.json https:/api.corp.com/schema?version=$(promptit 'Enter the schema version: ')"
  },

With this setup, running npm run set-schema will prompt you to enter the schema version, and the value will be used in the curl command.
