Options
Property | Type | Required | Description |
---|
message | string | yes | The question to ask |
choices | Array<{ value: string, name?: string, description?: string, disabled?: boolean | string } | Separator> | yes | List of the available choices. The value will be returned as the answer, and used as display if no name is defined. Choices who're disabled will be displayed, but not selectable. The description will be displayed under the prompt when the cursor land over the choice. |
pageSize | number | no | By default, lists of choice longer than 7 will be paginated. Use this option to control how many choices will appear on the screen at once. |
The Separator
object can be used 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.
