Declarative format

Define questions using a declarative style, similar to Inquirer.

var questions = [
  {
    type: 'rawlist',
    name: 'dinner',
    message: 'What would you like to do?',
    choices: [
      'Order a pizza',
      'Make a reservation',
      enquirer.separator(),,
      'Ask opening hours',
      'Talk to the receptionist'
    ]
  },
  {
    type: 'rawlist',
    name: 'size',
    message: 'What size would you like?',
    choices: ['Jumbo', 'Large', 'Standard', 'Medium', 'Small', 'Micro']
  }
];

enquirer.ask(questions)
  .then(function (answers) {
    console.log(answers);
  });

Expressive format

Register questions using enquirer's .question method:

enquirer.question('dinner', {
  type: 'rawlist',
  message: 'What would you like to do?',
  choices: [
    'Order a pizza',
    'Make a reservation',
    enquirer.separator(),
    'Ask opening hours',
    'Talk to the receptionist'
  ]
});

enquirer.question('size', 'What size would you like?', {
  type: 'rawlist',
  choices: ['Jumbo', 'Large', 'Standard', 'Medium', 'Small', 'Micro']
});

enquirer.ask(['dinner', 'size'])
  .then(function (answers) {
    console.log(answers);
    //=> { dinner: 'Order a pizza', size: 'Large' }
  });
