v12.8.2

Compare Source

• Fix #​1786 select prompt with indexMode: number theme option didn't properly calculate the items indexes if separators where present in between choices.

v12.8.1

Compare Source

• Fixes: a transitive dependency (run-aysnc) loaded devDependencies unexpectedly. This is now fixed upstream. Rel #​1791

v12.8.0

Compare Source

• Select prompt: When pressing a number key, we'll ignore separators in counting the index of the item to jump to.
• Checkbox prompt: When pressing a number key, we'll ignore separators in counting the index of the item to select.

v12.7.0

Compare Source

-input prompt: New prefill option to control if the default value is editable inline or only after pressing tab.

v12.6.3

Compare Source

• Fix #​1743: pagination logic of the select, checkbox and search prompts was fully rewritten to handle edge cases around rendering multi-line choices and pointer positioning.

v12.6.2

Compare Source

• Chore: dependencies bump

v12.6.1

Compare Source

• Fix #​1741: Issue with SIGINT in some scenarios leaving promises unsettled on exit.
• Fix: Remove monorepo related dependencies from all artifacts published to npm. This removes non-standard version specifiers like workspace:* from the public npm packages.

v12.6.0

Compare Source

• Feat(@​inquirer/select): Added an instructions option allowing to customize the messages in the help tips.
• Feat(@​inquirer/rawlist): Arrow keys will now cycle through the option, just like the @inquirer/select prompt. Also added a loop option to control the list loop behaviour when reaching the boundaries.

v12.5.2

Compare Source

• README: Add new sponsor
• Chore: dependency updates

v12.5.1

Compare Source

v12.5.0

Compare Source

• Feat (select): Introduce theme.indexMode to control displaying an index prefix in front of each choice. (defaults to hidden)
• Fix (select): Improve search when number keys are pressed

v12.4.3

Compare Source

• Fix an issue where inquirer would throw if Node is ran with the new --frozen-intrinsics flag.

v12.4.2

Compare Source

v12.4.1

Compare Source

• Mark @types/node as an optional peer dependency across all packages.

v12.4.0

Compare Source

• Added new shortcut config to the checkbox prompt. Allows to customize or disable shortcut keys for select all and invert selection.

v12.3.3

Compare Source

• Replace 3rd party dependency strip-ansi in favour of Node built-in stripVTControlCharacters util.

v12.3.2

Compare Source

v12.3.1

Compare Source

v12.3.0

Compare Source

• Checkbox prompt: re-added support for an array of default to be provided listing pre-checked checkboxes. This is a legacy interface brought back given this feature removal was an involuntary breaking change during the v12 release. The preferred interface is to provide the checked property to choices { value: 'bar', checked: true }.

v12.2.0

Compare Source

v12.1.0

Compare Source

v12.0.1

Compare Source

v12.0.0

Compare Source

• @types/node is now only a peerDependencies. This reduces the install size of inquirer dramatically for folks not using Typescript. It's unlikely to break your builds if you used TS already, if it does run npm install --dev @​types/node/yarn add --dev @​types/node.

v11.1.0

Compare Source

• Now exports base utility Typescript types: import type { Question, DistinctQuestion, Answers } from 'inquirer';

You should use as follow to keep the inference working properly:

const questions = [
    { ... }
] as const satisfies Question[];
// If you're not using inquirer plugins, `Question` could alternatively be replaced by `DistinctQuestion` for stricter checks.

v11.0.2

Compare Source

• Fix #​1555: when behaviour changed unexpectedly when returning a falsy value.

v11.0.1

Compare Source

v11.0.0

Compare Source

No technical breaking changes; but we changed the style of the question prefix once the answer is provided. Once a question is answer, the prefix becomes a tick mark (previously it was the same ? as when the prompt is idle.)

This is theme-able, and so can be overwritten to with theme.prefix.

v10.2.2

Compare Source

• Fix the filter option not working.
• The signal: AbortSignal didn't work with class based prompts (OSS plugins.) Now it should work consistently with legacy style prompts.

v10.2.1

Compare Source

• Fix expand prompt being broken if a Separator was in the choices array.

v10.2.0

Compare Source

• Includes various fixes & new features to the different built-in prompts
• Fix: Major rework of the Typescript types. Hoping to reduce the amount of finicky type errors (or wrong types) you might've ran into.

v10.1.2

Compare Source

• Fix broken backward compatibility issues with v9. Choice objects without value should default to use name as the value. Note: Please don't rely on this weird behaviour, but we fixed it since it was an unintended breaking change.

v10.1.1

Compare Source

v10.1.0

Compare Source

• Adds the new { type: 'search' } prompt.

v10.0.4

Compare Source

v10.0.3

Compare Source

• Fix: Re-added missing short on select and checkbox prompt.
• Fix: Remove type requiring a close method on prompt class instances (it wasn't required.)

v10.0.2

Compare Source

v10.0.1

Compare Source

v10.0.0

Compare Source

• Re-implemented with Typescript.
• Adding CJS support (now inquirer is publishes a dual-build CJS/ESM.)
• All core prompts are now coming from @inquirer/prompt.
• Custom prompts now should be implemented with @inquirer/core. Custom prompts built on [email protected] will keep working, but should plan a migration.
• inquirer.ui.BottomBar is deleted.

My expectation is that this release should be a drop-in replacement for people using inquirer.prompt() and built-ins 🤞🏻. Please open an issue on Github if you run into issues migrating; it's a large rewrite and there might be a few sharp edges to cut! Hope you'll like this new release.
