Node.js CLI Libraries - Provides a specialized Node.js library for gathering structured user input via interactive terminal components.
Secure Text Inputs - Captures text input with a secure masked mode for collecting passwords and secret keys.
Custom Prompt APIs - Provides a base class and API for developers to create custom prompt types with unique rendering and behavior.
Interactive Prompt Sequences - Runs a series of interactive questions in order and aggregates the collected responses into a single structured object.
Core Capability Extensions - Allows the registration of custom prompt types and plugins to extend the library's core interaction capabilities.
Prompt Logic Plugins - Features a plugin architecture allowing the injection of custom logic into the prompt runner instance.
Plugin Integrations - Enables the integration of external plugin functions to augment the functionality of prompt instances.
ANSI Terminal UI Libraries - Provides a system for rendering dynamic content and layouts in the terminal using ANSI escape codes.
Boolean Prompts - Ships a dedicated yes/no toggle interface that returns a boolean value for user confirmations.
Terminal Buffer Rendering - Updates the terminal interface by mapping internal state changes to specific screen coordinates and character buffers.
Terminal Input Validation - Provides logic to validate user responses in terminal prompts against custom rules before allowing submission.
Numeric Inputs - Includes specialized input prompts for capturing and returning numerical values.
Scalar Input Fields - Provides specialized input fields for capturing strings, numbers, and booleans as single values.
Select Menus - Provides selection menus for picking single or multiple options from a list using autocomplete or scales.
Selectable Lists - Implements interactive vertical lists that allow users to select one or multiple options with custom labels.
Multiple Selections - Implements multiple-choice lists and toggleable options for selecting one or more valid entries.
Terminal Form Frameworks - Provides a framework for building multi-field forms and sequences for structured data collection in the terminal.
Survey & Feedback Tools - Provides specialized prompt interfaces to collect structured feedback and survey data within a terminal environment.
CLI Frameworks - Offers an extensible framework with a base class for creating custom prompt types and plugin-based logic.
Custom Prompt Definitions - Allows developers to build specialized input components by extending the base prompt logic.
Custom Key Action Bindings - Allows mapping specific keyboard inputs to custom actions to modify prompt interaction.
Class Inheritance - Implements a class hierarchy where custom prompts inherit common logic and behaviors from a base prompt class.
Credential Collection Interfaces - Implements secure input fields that mask keystrokes for collecting passwords and secret keys.
Input Masking - Allows capturing passwords and secret keys by masking or hiding keystrokes in the terminal.
Plugin-Based Architectures - Features a plugin architecture that allows extending the core prompt behavior with external modular logic.
List Reordering - Includes a specialized prompt for reordering a list of items to define a specific preference or sequence.
Real-time Prefix Filtering - Filters a list of choices in real-time as the user types to accelerate the selection process.
Terminal Form Collection - Display multiple input fields on a single screen for users to fill out and submit together.
