Release Notes

SBoudrias/Inquirer.js (inquirer)

v14.0.0

Compare Source

  • Fix (breaking): Inquirer will now throw when encountering non-registered prompt. Prior to this fix, Inquirer would default to type: 'input' in such cases - this behaviour was misleading and made it harder to detect broken code when not using Typescript.
  • Feat: Read env variable INQUIRER_KEYBINDINGS to enable vim or emacs keybindings; making this a user preference instead of a library author preference. One caveat is doing so disable the search feature in the select prompt. Syntax: INQUIRER_KEYBINDINGS=vim,emacs.
  • Fix: Line wraps would sometime cause the cursor to be mispositioned relative to the input.
  • Chore: Dropped the rxjs dependency in favor of a lightweight internal Observable implementation. The package is much smaller for most users now.
  • Chore: Bump dependencies.

v13.4.3

Compare Source

  • Fix: Windows rendering bug
  • Fix: Preserve exact literal types in choices array (Typescript only)
  • Fix: Allow input default value to be of type undefined (Typescript only)
  • Bump dependencies

v13.4.2

Compare Source

  • Fix: some Windows terminals would freeze and not react to keypresses.

v13.4.1

Compare Source

  • Improve expand prompt type inferrence.

v13.4.0

Compare Source

  • Feat: Added a loading message while validating editor prompt input.
  • Type improvement: Better type inference with checkbox, search and expand prompts.
  • Fix: editor prompt not always properly handling editor path on windows.

v13.3.2

Compare Source

  • Fix broken 1.3.1 release process.

v13.3.1

Compare Source

  • Bump dependencies

v13.3.0

Compare Source

  • Fix: Keypresses happening before a prompt is rendered are now ignored.
  • Fix (checkbox): Element who're both checked and disabled are now always included in the returned array.
  • Feat (select/checkbox): Cursor will now hover disabled options of the list; but they still cannot be interacted with. This prevents the cursor jumping ahead in ways that can be confusing.
  • Feat: various new theme options to make all prompts content localizable.

Finally, see our new @inquirer/i18n package!

v13.2.5

Compare Source

v13.2.4

Compare Source

v13.2.3

Compare Source

  • chore: Switch wrap-ansi with fast-wrap-ansi

v13.2.2

Compare Source

  • Typescript disallow type: 'list' unless there's a plugin installed under that name. (list was replaced by select and marked as deprecated for a few released, v13.0.0 removed the alias.)

v13.2.1

Compare Source

  • Regression: previous answers weren't provided to the validate functions as the second arguments.

v13.2.0

Compare Source

  • feat(search): Add support for default.
  • feat(rawlist): Add support for description of choices. That information is displayed under the list when the choice is highlighted.
  • Bump dependencies

v13.1.0

Compare Source

  • Feat: rawlist now supports default option.
  • Fix: select now infer return type properly when passing a choices array of string literals.

v13.0.2

Compare Source

  • Fix Typescript not discovering types when moduleResolution is set to commonjs (you probably want to fix that in your project if it's still in your tsconfig)

v13.0.1

Compare Source

v13.0.0

Compare Source

Release Notes

🚨 Breaking Changes

This is a major release that modernizes the codebase for Node.js ≥ 20.

ESM Only - No More CommonJS Support

Impact: All packages are now ESM-only. CommonJS imports are no longer supported.

If you're on modern Node versions (≥ 20), this should be transparent and have no impact.

Node.js Version Requirement

Minimum Node.js version is now 20.x

Node.js versions below 20 are no longer supported. Please upgrade to Node.js 20 or later.

Node min versions: >=23.5.0 || ^22.13.0 || ^21.7.0 || ^20.12.0

Deprecated APIs Removed

The following deprecated APIs have been removed after being deprecated in previous releases:

list prompt alias removed (affects inquirer package only)

The list alias has been removed from the inquirer package. This only impacts users of the legacy inquirer package, not users of @inquirer/prompts or individual prompt packages.

// ❌ No longer available (inquirer package only)
import inquirer from 'inquirer';
const answer = await inquirer.prompt([
  { type: 'list', name: 'choice', message: 'Pick one:', choices: ['a', 'b'] }
]);

// ✅ Use 'select' instead
import inquirer from 'inquirer';
const answer = await inquirer.prompt([
  { type: 'select', name: 'choice', message: 'Pick one:', choices: ['a', 'b'] }
]);
helpMode theme property removed
// ❌ No longer available
const answer = await select({
  theme: { helpMode: 'never' }
});

// ✅ Use theme.style.keysHelpTip instead
const answer = await select({
  theme: {
    style: {
      keysHelpTip: () => undefined // or your custom styling function
    }
  }
});

This affects the following prompts:

  • @inquirer/checkbox
  • @inquirer/search
  • @inquirer/select
instructions config property removed
// ❌ No longer available
const answer = await checkbox({
  instructions: 'Custom instructions'
});

// ✅ Use theme.style.keysHelpTip instead
const answer = await checkbox({
  theme: {
    style: {
      keysHelpTip: (text) => 'Custom instructions'
    }
  }
});

This affects the following prompts:

  • @inquirer/checkbox
  • @inquirer/search
  • @inquirer/select
cancel() method removed

The cancel() method on prompt return custom Promise has been removed.

// ❌ No longer available
const answerPromise = input({ message: 'Name?' });
answerPromise.cancel();
const answer = await answerPromise;

// ✅ Use AbortSignal instead
const controller = new AbortController();
const answer = await input(
  { message: 'Name?' },
  { signal: controller.signal }
);
controller.abort();
Color Library Change: yoctocolors → Node.js styleText

Internal change: The project now uses Node.js built-in util.styleText() instead of the yoctocolors package for terminal colors. This makes Inquirer smaller and reduces risks of vulnerabilities coming from transitive dependencies.

v12.11.1

Compare Source

  • [Node 18 compat] Downgraded to mute-stream@​2 to maintain Node 18 compatibility.
  • [Typescript] Allow passing a Partial<{ ... }> type as pre-filled answers.

v12.11.0

Compare Source

  • feat @inquirer/input: Now support simple RegExp validation with pattern/patternError.
  • fix @inquirer/editor: Fix typo s/waitForUseInput/waitForUserInput
  • Bump dependencies

v12.10.0

Compare Source

  • New design for the keys help tip. Themable/localizable with theme.style.keysHelpTip.
  • Re-introduce option to match up/down actions with vim or emacs keybindings. Enable with theme.keybindings

v12.9.6

Compare Source

  • Reduce number of transitive dependencies

v12.9.5

Compare Source

  • Fix #​1834: (rawlist) Allows specifying numbers as explicit keys of option within the list.
