Prompts
This project is a Node.js CLI input library and toolkit for building interactive command-line user interfaces. It functions as a questionnaire framework and prompt orchestrator designed to capture structured user data through a variety of visual input controls.
The system differentiates itself through a logic-driven engine that supports dynamic prompt chains, allowing the sequence and properties of questions to adapt at runtime based on previous user answers.
The toolkit provides a wide range of specialized input types, including date pickers, searchable lists, masked passwords, and numeric inputs with defined bounds. It covers broad capability areas such as user input validation, custom terminal interface design, and the redirection of input and output streams.
