Inquirer.js
Inquirer.js is a command line input framework and prompt library for Node.js applications. It provides a structured set of tools for building interactive terminal interfaces, including menus, checklists, and text inputs, to gather user data and manage complex interactions.
The framework allows for the creation of dynamic user experiences through branching prompt logic and the resolution of asynchronous configurations. Users can define custom prompts using a provided API and localize interface text into different languages.
The library covers a wide range of input capabilities, including single and multiple choice selections, boolean confirmations, and real-time filtering and searching of lists. It also supports ranking items, selecting files from directories, and capturing long-form text by launching an external system editor.
