Usage

Multiple selection and async data source

import { select } from 'inquirer-select-pro';
const answer = await select({
  message: 'select',
  options: async (input) => {
    const res = await fetch('<url>', {
      body: new URLSearchParams({ keyword: input }),
    });
    if (!res.ok) throw new Error('fail to get list!');
    return await res.json();
  },
});

Radio mode

import { select } from 'inquirer-select-pro';
const answer = await select({
  message: 'select...',
  mutiple: false,
  options: [
    { name: 'Apple', value: 'apple' },
    { name: 'Banana', value: 'banana' },
  ],
});

clearInputWhenSelected

Clear the filter input when the option is selected (also causes the option list to change).

confirmDelete（multiple only）

The first time you try the delete key, it will focus on the option to be deleted, and the second time it will remove the focused option.

import { select } from 'inquirer-select-pro';
const answer = await select({
  message: 'select',
  confirmDelete: true,
  options: async (input) => {
    const res = await fetch('<url>', {
      body: new URLSearchParams({ keyword: input }),
    });
    if (!res.ok) throw new Error('fail to get list!');
    return await res.json();
  },
});
