`@inquirer/input`

Interactive free text input component for command line interfaces. Supports validation, filtering, transformation, etc.

Installation

npm install @inquirer/input

yarn add @inquirer/input

import input from '@inquirer/input';

const answer = await input({ message: 'Enter your name' });

Property	Type	Required	Description
message	`string`	yes	The question to ask
default	`string`	no	Default value if no answer is provided (clear it by pressing backspace)
transformer	`(string, { isFinal: boolean }) => string`	no	Transform/Format the raw value entered by the user. Once the prompt is completed, `isFinal` will be `true`. This function is purely visual; to modify the answer, use the `filter` option.
validate	`string => boolean \| string \| Promise<string \| boolean>`	no	On submit, validate the filtered answered content. 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.
