@optique/prompt

Generic prompt adapter support for Optique.

This package contains the shared machinery used by interactive prompt integrations. Most applications should use a concrete integration such as @optique/inquirer or @optique/clack instead.

Installation

npm add @optique/prompt
pnpm add @optique/prompt
yarn add @optique/prompt
bun add @optique/prompt

Documentation

For full documentation, visit the prompt integration docs. The guide covers dependency-derived configurations with derivePromptConfig(), shared validation and retries, abort signals, and adapter construction.

Quick start

import { option } from "@optique/core/primitives";
import { message } from "@optique/core/message";
import { string } from "@optique/core/valueparser";
import { createPromptAdapter } from "@optique/prompt";

const prompt = createPromptAdapter<{ readonly message: string }>({
  async execute<TValue>(config) {
    const value = globalThis.prompt?.(config.message);
    if (value == null) {
      return { success: false, error: message`Prompt cancelled.` };
    }
    return { success: true, value: value as TValue };
  },
});

const name = prompt(option("--name", string()), {
  message: "Name:",
});
