@inquirer/confirm

• Fix bug where password would show after a validation error.

• New instructions config to allow localizing the help tips.

• Review how force exit events are handled to make sure we restore the cursor properly.
• Various dependencies bump (including TS 5.2.2)

• Bugfix (and insuing refactor) of how the cursor position is maintained and handled when changing outside of a render cycle. This caused bugs with all underlying prompts where the user input text. This fix should be transparent for all users; but it is a large change so warranted a minor bump.

• password prompt can now rendered hidden input (Unix style)
• filter function now also receive the current answers as argument
• Smaller package size

• Breaking: Includes new major version of @inquirer/core.
• Bug fix: on Select & Checkbox prompt where it could happen the choice list wasn't matching the terminal width.

• Breaking: Paginator is deprecated in favour of the usePagination hook. This hook will always properly reflect the width of the output stream.

• Drop support for Node < 4
• Allow failing async validation by rejecting the returned Promise
• Fix bug with bottom bar

Major refactor of the core to allow multiple features:

1. Prompt function now return cancelable promise (e.g input(...).cancel())
2. Reduced amount of writes to the readline (should now be ~1 per render cycle)
3. Make sure to restore the cursor on force exit.

Now includes a stricter answer parser. Prior to this change, the prompt would default to Yes on almost any input.

• Answer name with . are now expand in the answer object. e.g. name.sub would generate an answer object formatted as {name: {sub: 'answer'}}.
• expand prompt default value if not specified is now help.
• Drop support for node 0.10 and 0.12

@sboudrias/package@1.0.3

Release tooling package.

What's new

• New package pin <dependency> command rewrites caret/tilde ranges to exact versions across public packages; the release pipeline uses it to pin @inquirer/type in published manifests (#2247).
• New package normalize command applies the fixups required to make manifests valid for npm publishing. It replaces the inline jq step that stripped workspace:* devDependencies (byte-identical output, now also covering the published tools/* packages).
• Commands live in task folders (index.ts + command.ts, tests colocated); bin.ts only assembles the CLI.

• Fix expand prompt to correctly use the value key as the prompt answer.
• Fix documentation saying the expand prompt support the filter key.

@sboudrias/package@1.0.2

Release tooling package. No source changes.

Fix issue where typing would disallow the following

search({
    ...,
    source: async (term: string = '') => {
        ...
    },
});

Fixes

• Fix bug where inquirer would overwrite properties on the options passed in. Now we're making sure to not mutate your originals objects.
• On the checkbox prompt, we're now only hiding the help message once the user click the space key instead of any keys.
• Drop readline2 in favor of Node core version. This might fix some edge cases some users on windows encountered.

First release on a brand new search prompt! See documentation

First release of our brand new number prompt.

• Fork of figures to get new features and CJS support. We plan on maintaining it ourselves for now.

Say hello to promises!

The whole inquirer API is now based on promises!

• The base API interface is now inquirer.prompt(questions).then(). There's no more callback function.
• Any async question functions is taking a promise as return value instead of requiring this.async().

Breaking changes

• filter is now always run before validate #122
• inquirer.prompt doesn't take a callback argument anymore

Bug fixes

• Fixed list not displayed disabled options correctly #321

And various other minor fixes and cleanup to the code base.
