Pear Terminal User Interface library

API

usage

Strings for CLI banners & footers.

Returns { header, version, banner, footer }.

permit(ipc, info, cmd)

Ask user to trust or unlock an app/template.

Returns Promise<void>.

• ipc: { permit({ key, password? }), close() }
• info: { key: Buffer|string, encrypted: boolean }
• cmd: 'run'|'init'|'stage'|'seed'|'dump'|'info'

confirm(dialog, ask, delim, validation, msg)

One-shot confirmation prompt.

Returns Promise<void>.

• dialog: string preface text
• ask: string prompt label
• delim: string delimiter (e.g. ':' or '?'`)
• validation: (value:string) => boolean|Promise<boolean>
• msg: string error message on invalid input

const interact = new Interact(header, params[, opts])

Interactive prompt runner.

• header: string shown once before prompts
• params: Array<{ name, prompt, default?, delim?, validation?, msg?, shave? }>
• opts.masked: boolean mask user input (passwords)
• opts.defaults: { [name:string]: any } fallback values

interact.run([opts])

Process prompts and return answers.

Returns Promise<{ fields, shave }>.

• opts.autosubmit: boolean fill with defaults without prompting

stdio

Thin stdio wrapper with Bare/TTY streams.

Returns object with:

• in, out, err: lazy streams
• size() -> { width, height }
• raw(bool) -> void set raw mode
• drained(stream) -> Promise<void>
• inAttached: boolean

ansi

ANSI styling helpers (no-op on Windows).

Returns object with:

• text: bold, dim, italic, underline, inverse, red, green, yellow, gray
• cursor: upHome(n), hideCursor(), showCursor()
• links: link(url, text?)
• glyphs: sep, tick, cross, warning, pear, dot, key, down, up

indicator(value[, type])

Status glyph helper.

Returns string.

• value: true|false|null|number (>0 success, <0 fail, 0|null neutral)
• type: 'success'|'diff' (diff: + | - | ~)

status(message[, success])

Live status line (TTY-aware).

Returns void.

• message: string
• success: boolean|null|number (see indicator)

print(message[, success])

Plain line print with optional status glyph.

Returns void.

• message: string
• success: boolean|null|number

byteDiff({ type, sizes, message })

Pretty-print byte deltas.

Returns void.

• type: any value passed to indicator(..., 'diff')
• sizes: number[] byte changes (signed)
• message: string

outputter(cmd[, taggers])

Create a stream consumer that routes tagged events to print/status (TTY) or JSON.

Returns (opts, stream, info?, ipc?) -> Promise<void>.

• cmd: string command name
• taggers: { [tag]: (data, info, ipc) => string|{ output, message, success }|false|Promise<...> }
  • output: 'print'|'status'
  • message: string|string[]
  • success: boolean
• opts: { json?: boolean, log?: (msg, { output, success? }) => void, ctrlTTY?: boolean }
• stream: Readable|Array of { tag, data } events
• info: any extra context
• ipc: optional IPC handle

Behavior:

• opts.json === true → emits JSON lines: { cmd, tag, data }
• tagger result false:
  • for tag==='final' prints default success/failure
  • otherwise suppressed
• TTY: hides/shows cursor, handles Ctrl+C cleanup

explain(bail)

Processes failure mode flow for various Pear scenarios that prints sensible output showing stacks for operational errors and beautified output user errors.

Returns void.

• bail: a paparam bail object

isTTY

boolean indicating stdin TTY status.

byteSize(bytes)

Format bytes into human-friendly string.

Returns string.
