This package is perfect for asking the users of your command line interface to provide a certain kind of information that's needed for continuing with execution of the program.
Although it's not a explicit requirement, the package works best when used in combination with args.
Firstly, install the package:
npm install --save askOnce you're done, you can start using it:
import { prompt } from 'ask'
const answers = await prompt([
{
name: 'author',
message: 'Who are you?'
}
])- Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
- Link the package to the global module directory:
npm link - Transpile the source code and watch for changes:
npm start - Within the module you want to test your local development instance of ask, just link it to the dependencies:
npm link ask. Instead of the default one from npm, node will now use your clone of ask!
As always, you can run the AVA and ESLint tests using: npm test
