@clack/prompts@1.0.0-alpha.0

Major Changes

• c713fd5: The package is now distributed as ESM-only. In v0 releases, the package was dual-published as CJS and ESM.

  For existing CJS projects using Node v20+, please see Node's guide on Loading ECMAScript modules using require().

Minor Changes

• 99c3530: Adds format option to the note prompt to allow formatting of individual lines

• 0aaee4c: Added new taskLog prompt for log output which is cleared on success

• 729bbb6: Add support for customizable spinner cancel and error messages. Users can now customize these messages either per spinner instance or globally via the updateSettings function to support multilingual CLIs.

  This update also improves the architecture by exposing the core settings to the prompts package, enabling more consistent default message handling across the codebase.

  // Per-instance customization
  const spinner = prompts.spinner({
    cancelMessage: "Operación cancelada", // "Operation cancelled" in Spanish
    errorMessage: "Se produjo un error", // "An error occurred" in Spanish
  });
  
  // Global customization via updateSettings
  prompts.updateSettings({
    messages: {
      cancel: "Operación cancelada", // "Operation cancelled" in Spanish
      error: "Se produjo un error", // "An error occurred" in Spanish
    },
  });
  
  // Settings can now be accessed directly
  console.log(prompts.settings.messages.cancel); // "Operación cancelada"
  
  // Direct options take priority over global settings
  const spinner = prompts.spinner({
    cancelMessage: "Cancelled", // This will be used instead of the global setting
  });

• 44df9af: Adds a new groupSpacing option to grouped multi-select prompts. If set to an integer greater than 0, it will add that number of new lines between each group.

• f2c2b89: Adds AutocompletePrompt to core with comprehensive tests and implement both autocomplete and autocomplete-multiselect components in prompts package.

• c45b9fb: Adds support for detecting spinner cancellation via CTRL+C. This allows for graceful handling of user interruptions during long-running operations.

• 9a09318: Adds new progress prompt to display a progess-bar

• 19558b9: Added support for custom frames in spinner prompt

Patch Changes

• 46dc0a4: Fixes multiselect only shows hints on the first item in the options list. Now correctly shows hints for all selected options with hint property.
• 17342d2: Exposes a new SpinnerResult type to describe the return type of spinner
• 6868c1c: Adds a new selectableGroups boolean to the group multi-select prompt. Using selectableGroups: false will disable the ability to select a top-level group, but still allow every child to be selected individually.
• 7a556ad: Updates all prompts to accept a custom output and input stream
• 7cc8a55: Messages passed to the stop method of a spinner no longer have dots stripped.
• 2048eb1: Fix spinner's dots behavior with custom frames

@clack/core@0.4.2

Patch Changes

• 30aa7ed: Adds a new selectableGroups boolean to the group multi-select prompt. Using selectableGroups: false will disable the ability to select a top-level group, but still allow every child to be selected individually.
• 5dfce8a: Fixes an edge case for placeholder values. Previously, when pressing enter on an empty prompt, placeholder values would be ignored. Now, placeholder values are treated as the prompt value.
• f574297: Fix "TTY initialization failed: uv_tty_init returned EBADF (bad file descriptor)" error happening on Windows for non-tty terminals.

@clack/prompts@0.10.0

Minor Changes

• 613179d: Adds a new indicator option to spinner, which supports the original "dots" loading animation or a new "timer" loading animation.

  import * as p from "@clack/prompts";
  
  const spin = p.spinner({ indicator: "timer" });
  spin.start("Loading");
  await sleep(3000);
  spin.stop("Loaded");

• a38b2bc: Adds stream API which provides the same methods as log, but for iterable (even async) message streams. This is particularly useful for AI responses which are dynamically generated by LLMs.

  import * as p from "@clack/prompts";
  
  await p.stream.step(
    (async function* () {
      yield* generateLLMResponse(question);
    })()
  );

@clack/prompts@0.9.1

Patch Changes

• 8093f3c: Adds Error support to the validate function
• 98925e3: Exports the Option type and improves JSDocannotations
• 1904e57: Replace custom utility for stripping ANSI control sequences with Node's built-in stripVTControlCharacters utility.
• Updated dependencies [8093f3c]
• Updated dependencies [e5ba09a]
• Updated dependencies [8cba8e3]
  • @clack/core@0.4.1

@clack/core@0.4.1

Patch Changes

• 8093f3c: Adds Error support to the validate function
• e5ba09a: Fixes a cursor display bug in terminals that do not support the "hidden" escape sequence. See Issue #127.
• 8cba8e3: Fixes a rendering bug with cursor positions for TextPrompt

@clack/prompts@0.9.0

Minor Changes

• a83d2f8: Adds a new updateSettings() function to support new global keybindings.

  updateSettings() accepts an aliases object that maps custom keys to an action (up | down | left | right | space | enter | cancel).

  import { updateSettings } from "@clack/prompts";
  
  // Support custom keybindings
  updateSettings({
    aliases: {
      w: "up",
      a: "left",
      s: "down",
      d: "right",
    },
  });

Warning

In order to enforce consistent, user-friendly defaults across the ecosystem, updateSettings does not support disabling Clack's default keybindings.

• 801246b: Adds a new signal option to support programmatic prompt cancellation with an abort controller.

  One example use case is automatically cancelling a prompt after a timeout.

  const shouldContinue = await confirm({
    message: "This message will self destruct in 5 seconds",
    signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000),
  });

  Another use case is racing a long running task with a manual prompt.

  const abortController = new AbortController();
  
  const projectType = await Promise.race([
    detectProjectType({
      signal: abortController.signal,
    }),
    select({
      message: "Pick a project type.",
      options: [
        { value: "ts", label: "TypeScript" },
        { value: "js", label: "JavaScript" },
        { value: "coffee", label: "CoffeeScript", hint: "oh no" },
      ],
      signal: abortController.signal,
    }),
  ]);
  
  abortController.abort();

• a83d2f8: Updates default keybindings to support Vim motion shortcuts and map the escape key to cancel (ctrl+c).

  l	right
  j	down
  h	left
  esc	cancel
