prompt-sort

prompt-sort

Prompt that allows the user to re-order items in a list of choices.

Re-order choices

Use shift+up or shift+down to re-order list items.

Customize rendering

(you can do this kind of customization with any prompt)

Usage

Heads up!

The colors used in the example were added just for that example. See how that works in examples/prompt.js.

var Prompt = require('prompt-sort');
var prompt = new Prompt({
  name: 'colors',
  message: 'Sort colors from most to least favorite',
  choices: [
    'green',
    'red',
    'yellow'
  ]
});

// promise
prompt.run()
  .then(function(answer) {
    console.log(answer);
  });

// or async
prompt.ask(function(answer) {
  console.log(answer);
});

Enquirer usage

Register as a plugin with enquirer:

var Enquirer = require('enquirer');
var enquirer = new Enquirer();

enquirer.register('readme', require('prompt-sort'));

Enquirer examples

Enquirer supports both the declarative inquirer-style question format and a functional format using the .question method:

Declarative format

Questions can be defined as an array of objects, or a single question object:

var questions = [
  {
    type: 'sort', // <= define the prompt "type"
    name: 'colors',
    message: 'Sort colors from most to least favorite',
    choices: [
      'green',
      'red',
      'yellow'
    ]
  }
];

enquirer.ask(questions)
  .then(function(answers) {
    console.log(answers)
  });

Expressive format

Functional style questions.

enquirer.question('colors', {
  type: 'sort',
  message: 'Sort colors from most to least favorite',
  choices: [
    'green',
    'red',
    'yellow'
  ]
});

enquirer.ask(['colors'])
  .then(function(answers) {
    console.log(answers)
  });
