@inquirer-cli/select

CLI tool for selecting an option using Inquirer.js.

Installation

No installation required. Use npx to run the tool directly:

npx -y @inquirer-cli/select [...options]

Note: The -y flag is used with npx to skip the installation prompt. This is necessary because the CLI's output is consumed by $() in bash, which would otherwise cause the script to freeze.

Usage

Prompt the user to select an option:

fruit=$(npx -y "@inquirer-cli/select" -c "Apple" -c "Banana" -c "Cherry" "Pick a fruit")
echo "You selected: $fruit"

Options

• <message> (required): The message to display to the user.
• -c, --choice <choice> (required): Define a choice (can be used multiple times).
• -r, --required: Make the input required.
• -h, --help: Show the help message and exit.

Example

#!/bin/sh
fruit=$(npx -y "@inquirer-cli/select" -c "Apple" -c "Banana" -c "Cherry" "Pick a fruit")
echo "You selected: $fruit"
