Options

Property	Type	Required	Description
message	string	yes	The question to ask
default	number	no	Default value if no answer is provided (clear it by pressing backspace)
min	number	no	The minimum value to accept for this input.
max	number	no	The maximum value to accept for this input.
step	number | 'any'	no	The step option is a number that specifies the granularity that the value must adhere to. Only values which are equal to the basis for stepping (min if specified) are valid. This value defaults to 1, meaning by default the prompt will only allow integers.
required	boolean	no	Defaults to false. If set to true, undefined (empty) will not be accepted for this.
validate	(number | undefined) => boolean | string | Promise<boolean | string>	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.
theme	See Theming	no	Customize look of the prompt.

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;
  };
};
