@clack/prompts

0.11.0

Minor Changes

• 07ca32d: Reverted a change where placeholders were being set as values on return.

Patch Changes

• Updated dependencies [07ca32d]
  • @clack/core@0.5.0

0.10.1

Patch Changes

• 11a5dc1: Fixes multiselect only shows hints on the first item in the options list. Now correctly shows hints for all selected options with hint property.
• 30aa7ed: Adds a new selectableGroups boolean to the group multi-select prompt. Using selectableGroups: false will disable the ability to select a top-level group, but still allow every child to be selected individually.
• Updated dependencies [30aa7ed]
• Updated dependencies [5dfce8a]
• Updated dependencies [f574297]
  • @clack/core@0.4.2

0.10.0

Minor Changes

• 613179d: Adds a new indicator option to spinner, which supports the original "dots" loading animation or a new "timer" loading animation.

  import * as p from "@clack/prompts";
  
  const spin = p.spinner({ indicator: "timer" });
  spin.start("Loading");
  await sleep(3000);
  spin.stop("Loaded");

• a38b2bc: Adds stream API which provides the same methods as log, but for iterable (even async) message streams. This is particularly useful for AI responses which are dynamically generated by LLMs.

  import * as p from "@clack/prompts";
  
  await p.stream.step(
    (async function* () {
      yield* generateLLMResponse(question);
    })()
  );

0.9.1

Patch Changes

• 8093f3c: Adds Error support to the validate function
• 98925e3: Exports the Option type and improves JSDocannotations
• 1904e57: Replace custom utility for stripping ANSI control sequences with Node's built-in stripVTControlCharacters utility.
• Updated dependencies [8093f3c]
• Updated dependencies [e5ba09a]
• Updated dependencies [8cba8e3]
  • @clack/core@0.4.1

0.9.0

Minor Changes

• a83d2f8: Adds a new updateSettings() function to support new global keybindings.

  updateSettings() accepts an aliases object that maps custom keys to an action (up | down | left | right | space | enter | cancel).

  import { updateSettings } from "@clack/prompts";
  
  // Support custom keybindings
  updateSettings({
    aliases: {
      w: "up",
      a: "left",
      s: "down",
      d: "right",
    },
  });

[!WARNING] In order to enforce consistent, user-friendly defaults across the ecosystem, updateSettings does not support disabling Clack's default keybindings.

• 801246b: Adds a new signal option to support programmatic prompt cancellation with an abort controller.

  One example use case is automatically cancelling a prompt after a timeout.

  const shouldContinue = await confirm({
    message: "This message will self destruct in 5 seconds",
    signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000),
  });

  Another use case is racing a long running task with a manual prompt.

  const abortController = new AbortController();
  
  const projectType = await Promise.race([
    detectProjectType({
      signal: abortController.signal,
    }),
    select({
      message: "Pick a project type.",
      options: [
        { value: "ts", label: "TypeScript" },
        { value: "js", label: "JavaScript" },
        { value: "coffee", label: "CoffeeScript", hint: "oh no" },
      ],
      signal: abortController.signal,
    }),
  ]);
  
  abortController.abort();

• a83d2f8: Updates default keybindings to support Vim motion shortcuts and map the escape key to cancel (ctrl+c).

  | alias | action | | ----- | ------ | | k | up | | l | right | | j | down | | h | left | | esc | cancel |
