```
|
|
|
|
This will add it to your project's `node_modules` folder and list it as a dependency in your project's `package.json` file.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The `@push.rocks/smartinteract` module is designed to facilitate smart command-line interactions by providing a flexible way to query input from users in a structured manner. It leverages TypeScript for enhanced development experience, offering strong types and IntelliSense in supported editors.
|
|
|
|
### Getting Started
|
|
|
|
To begin, import `SmartInteract` from the module:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { SmartInteract } from '@push.rocks/smartinteract';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Creating and Running Interactions
|
|
|
|
You can specify questions for user interaction as shown below:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const smartInteract = new SmartInteract([
|
|
{
|
|
name: 'userName',
|
|
type: 'input',
|
|
message: 'What is your name?',
|
|
default: 'John Doe',
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
name: 'userConfirmation',
|
|
type: 'confirm',
|
|
message: 'Do you agree with the terms?',
|
|
default: false,
|
|
}
|
|
]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`SmartInteract` supports various question types such as 'input', 'confirm', 'list', 'rawlist', 'checkbox', 'password', and 'editor'. This allows for a diverse range of user inputs from simple text inputs to selections from a list.
|
|
|
|
### Adding Additional Questions Dynamically
|
|
|
|
You can dynamically add more questions to the interaction:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
smartInteract.addQuestions([
|
|
{
|
|
name: 'userHobby',
|
|
type: 'input',
|
|
message: 'What is your favorite hobby?',
|
|
default: 'Programming',
|
|
}
|
|
]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running the Interaction Queue
|
|
|
|
Execute the queued interaction and process the responses:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
smartInteract.runQueue()
|
|
.then(answerBucket => {
|
|
const userResponse = {
|
|
name: answerBucket.getAnswerFor('userName'),
|
|
agreed: answerBucket.getAnswerFor('userConfirmation'),
|
|
hobby: answerBucket.getAnswerFor('userHobby')
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
console.log(userResponse);
|
|
// Output: { name: 'John Doe', agreed: true/false, hobby: 'Programming'}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Direct Questioning
|
|
|
|
For immediate prompting without queuing, you can utilize the `askQuestion` method:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
smartInteract.askQuestion({
|
|
name: 'urgentQuery',
|
|
type: 'confirm',
|
|
message: 'Do you need to save changes?',
|
|
default: true,
|
|
})
|
|
.then(answerObject => {
|
|
console.log(answerObject);
|
|
// Output: { name: 'urgentQuery', value: true/false }
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Advanced Usage
|
|
|
|
You can customize validations, provide choice selections for 'list', 'rawlist', 'expand', and 'checkbox' types, and much more according to the [Inquirer.js](https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js/) module which `@push.rocks/smartinteract` leverages internally.
|
|
|
|
### Conclusion
|
|
|
|
`@push.rocks/smartinteract` offers an elegant and robust solution for CLI interactions in Node.js projects. Its integration of TypeScript enhances code quality and developer workflow. Whether for simple prompts or complex inquisitive flows, it provides the tools necessary for obtaining and managing user inputs efficiently.
