20 Dec 2024- breaking
Checkbox prompt: re-added support for an array of
defaultto be provided listing pre-checked checkboxes. This is a legacy interface brought back given this feature removal was an involuntary breaking change during thev12release. The preferred interface is to provide thecheckedproperty to choices{ value: 'bar', checked: true }.
12.0.0
6 Oct 2024@types/nodeis now only apeerDependencies. This reduces the install size of inquirer dramatically for folks not using Typescript. It's unlikely to break your builds if you used TS already, if it does runnpm install --dev @types/node/yarn add --dev @types/node.

Now exports base utility Typescript types:
import type { Question, DistinctQuestion, Answers } from 'inquirer';
You should use as follow to keep the inference working properly:
const questions = [ { ... } ] as const satisfies Question[]; // If you're not using inquirer plugins, `Question` could alternatively be replaced by `DistinctQuestion` for stricter checks.11.0.1

15 Sep 2024No technical breaking changes; but we changed the style of the question
prefixonce the answer is provided. Once a question is answer, the prefix becomes a tick mark (previously it was the same?as when the prompt is idle.)No technical breaking changes; but we changed the style of the question

Re-implemented with Typescript.
Adding CJS support (now
inquireris publishes a dual-build CJS/ESM.)All core prompts are now coming from
@inquirer/prompt.Custom prompts now should be implemented with
@inquirer/core. Custom prompts built oninquirer@9.x.xwill keep working, but should plan a migration.inquirer.ui.BottomBaris deleted.
My expectation is that this release should be a drop-in replacement for people using
inquirer.prompt()and built-ins 🤞🏻. Please open an issue on Github if you run into issues migrating; it's a large rewrite and there might be a few sharp edges to cut! Hope you'll like this new release.- 9.x
