themeSee ThemingnoCustomize look of the prompt.

Separator objects can be used in the choices array to render non-selectable lines in the choice list. By default it'll render a line, but you can provide the text as argument (new Separator('-- Dependencies --')). This option is often used to add labels to groups within long list of options.

Choice object

The Choice object is typed as

type Choice<Value> = {
  value: Value;
  name?: string;
  key: string;
};

Here's each property:

  • value: The value is what will be returned by await expand().
  • name: The string displayed in the choice list. It'll default to the stringify value.
  • key: The input the use must provide to select the choice. Must be a lowercase single alpha-numeric character string.

Theming

You can theme a prompt by passing a theme object option. The theme object only need to includes the keys you wish to modify, we'll fallback on the defaults for the rest.

type Theme = {
  prefix: string | { idle: string; done: string };
  spinner: {
    interval: number;
    frames: string[];
  };
  style: {
    answer: (text: string) => string;
    message: (text: string, status: 'idle' | 'done' | 'loading') => string;
    error: (text: string) => string;
    defaultAnswer: (text: string) => string;
    highlight: (text: string) => string;
  };
};
