@inquirer/prompts

@inquirer/prompts@8.7.4

What's new

• checkbox() no longer accepts edits or submissions while an async validator is pending — the selection is captured at submit time, and repeated Enter presses don't run the validator more than once (@inquirer/checkbox, #2296).

• Prompt output no longer leaks when a prompt is cancelled or aborted before its first render — the deferred initial render is now cancelled during cleanup, so a settled prompt never writes to an ended output stream or reinstalls keypress listeners (@inquirer/core, #2318, relates to #1816).

• number() now treats whitespace-only input as empty, so a space-padded submit resolves to the default/undefined answer instead of a validation error (@inquirer/number, #2307).

• Packages with only test-file changes are no longer version-bumped at release time (internal tooling; #2319).

Included

• @inquirer/checkbox@^5.2.7

• @inquirer/confirm@^6.3.4

• @inquirer/editor@^5.3.5

• @inquirer/expand@^5.1.7

• @inquirer/input@^5.1.8

• @inquirer/number@^4.2.5

• @inquirer/password@^5.2.4

• @inquirer/rawlist@^5.3.7

• @inquirer/search@^4.3.5

• @inquirer/select@^5.2.7

@inquirer/prompts@8.7.3

What's new

• search() no longer submits a stale choice when Enter is pressed while an async search is still loading — the prompt waits for the fresh results, the query is preserved, and repeated Enter presses during validation no longer run the async validator more than once (@inquirer/search, #2291, closes #2290).

• confirm() now always accepts the single keystrokes y/n even with localized keywords, and unrecognized input no longer silently falls back on the default answer (@inquirer/confirm, #2281, closes #2279).

• expand() and rawlist() now ignore surrounding whitespace in answers (@inquirer/expand, @inquirer/rawlist, #2280).

• All package READMEs now document the Deno install command (deno add npm:@inquirer/prompts) alongside the npm/yarn/pnpm/bun ones (#2269).

Included

• @inquirer/checkbox@^5.2.6

• @inquirer/confirm@^6.3.3

• @inquirer/editor@^5.3.4

• @inquirer/expand@^5.1.6

• @inquirer/rawlist@^5.3.6

• @inquirer/search@^4.3.4

• @inquirer/select@^5.2.6

@inquirer/prompts@8.7.2

What's new

• Fixed a race where keystrokes batched in the same tick as the key that settled a prompt could still reach keypress handlers after the prompt was done, cancelled, or aborted (@inquirer/core, #2255, closes #1816).

• confirm() now trims surrounding whitespace from answers before matching yes/no keywords (@inquirer/confirm, #2254).

Included

• @inquirer/checkbox@^5.2.5

• @inquirer/confirm@^6.3.2

• @inquirer/editor@^5.3.3

• @inquirer/expand@^5.1.5

• @inquirer/input@^5.1.6

• @inquirer/rawlist@^5.3.5

• @inquirer/search@^4.3.3

• @inquirer/select@^5.2.5

@inquirer/prompts@8.7.1

What's new

• All bundled prompts now pin @inquirer/type to an exact version in their published manifests. Since these type definitions leak into consumers' tsc runs, a semver range on the types-only dependency could break downstream TypeScript builds without any change to Inquirer.js itself (#2247, fixes #2244).

Included

• @inquirer/checkbox@^5.2.4

• @inquirer/confirm@^6.3.1

• @inquirer/editor@^5.3.2

• @inquirer/number@^4.2.2

• @inquirer/password@^5.2.1

• @inquirer/rawlist@^5.3.4

• @inquirer/search@^4.3.2

• @inquirer/select@^5.2.4

@inquirer/prompts@8.7.0

What's new

• password gains the toggleMask option (ctrl+t to reveal the typed value).

• confirm now matches localized yes/no answers per-locale.

• Prettified prompt and theme types for better IDE display.

• Added inquirer-grouped-checkbox to the community prompts list (#2236).

Included

• @inquirer/checkbox@^5.2.3

• @inquirer/confirm@^6.3.0

• @inquirer/editor@^5.3.1

@inquirer/prompts@8.6.0

The all-in-one prompts package, re-exporting every individual prompt at its latest version.

This release rides on @inquirer/core@12.0.0, which makes the useState setter accept a reducer/updater function. It also brings a new initialValue option to search, plus fixes for number, confirm, and editor.

What's new

• @inquirer/search — new initialValue?: string option to pre-fill the search input

What's fixed

• @inquirer/number — avoid floating-point step errors; accept explicit undefined as default (#2166, #2182)

• @inquirer/confirm — accept explicit undefined as default

• @inquirer/editor — accept explicit undefined as default

Included prompts

• @inquirer/checkbox@5.2.2
