### Prompt Types

There are 5 (soon to be 6!) type classes:

* [ArrayPrompt](#arrayprompt)
  - [Options](#options)
  - [Properties](#properties)
  - [Methods](#methods)
  - [Choices](#choices)
  - [Defining choices](#defining-choices)
  - [Choice properties](#choice-properties)
  - [Related prompts](#related-prompts)
* [AuthPrompt](#authprompt)
* [BooleanPrompt](#booleanprompt)

Each type is a low-level class that may be used as a starting point for creating higher level prompts. Continue reading to learn how.

### ArrayPrompt

The `ArrayPrompt` class is used for creating prompts that display a list of choices in the terminal. For example, Enquirer uses this class as the basis for the [Select](#select) and [Survey](#survey) prompts.

#### Options

In addition to the [options](#options) available to all prompts, Array prompts also support the following options.

| **Option**  | **Required?** | **Type**        | **Description**                                                                                                         |
| ----------- | ------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `autofocus` | `no`          | `string\|number` | The index or name of the choice that should have focus when the prompt loads. Only one choice may have focus at a time. |  |
| `stdin`     | `no`          | `stream`        | The input stream to use for emitting keypress events. Defaults to `process.stdin`.                                      |
| `stdout`    | `no`          | `stream`        | The output stream to use for writing the prompt to the terminal. Defaults to `process.stdout`.                          |
|             |

#### Properties

Array prompts have the following instance properties and getters.

#### Methods

| **Method**    | **Description**                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `pointer()`   | Returns the visual symbol to use to identify the choice that currently has focus. The `❯` symbol is often used for this. The pointer is not always visible, as with the `autocomplete` prompt. |
| `indicator()` | Returns the visual symbol that indicates whether or not a choice is checked/enabled.                                                                                                           |
| `focus()`     | Sets focus on a choice, if it can be focused.                                                                                                                                                  |

#### Choices

Array prompts support the `choices` option, which is the array of choices users will be able to select from when rendered in the terminal.

**Type**: `string|object`

**Example**

```js
const { prompt } = require('enquirer');

const questions = [{
  type: 'select',
  name: 'color',
  message: 'Favorite color?',
  initial: 1,
  choices: [
    { name: 'red',   message: 'Red',   value: '#ff0000' }, //<= choice object
    { name: 'green', message: 'Green', value: '#00ff00' }, //<= choice object
    { name: 'blue',  message: 'Blue',  value: '#0000ff' }  //<= choice object
  ]
}];

let answers = await prompt(questions);
console.log('Answer:', answers.color);
```

#### Defining choices

Whether defined as a string or object, choices are normalized to the following interface:

```js
{
  name: string;
  message: string | undefined;
  value: string | undefined;
  hint: string | undefined;
  disabled: boolean | string | undefined;
}
```

**Example**

```js
const question = {
  name: 'fruit',
  message: 'Favorite fruit?',
  choices: ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Raspberry']
};
```

Normalizes to the following when the prompt is run:

```js
const question = {
  name: 'fruit',
  message: 'Favorite fruit?',
  choices: [
    { name: 'Apple', message: 'Apple', value: 'Apple' },
    { name: 'Orange', message: 'Orange', value: 'Orange' },
    { name: 'Raspberry', message: 'Raspberry', value: 'Raspberry' }
  ]
};
```

#### Choice properties

The following properties are supported on `choice` objects.

| **Option**  | **Type**          | **Description**                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| ----------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name`      | `string`          | The unique key to identify a choice                                                                                                                                                                 |
| `message`   | `string`          | The message to display in the terminal. `name` is used when this is undefined.                                                                                                                      |
| `value`     | `string`          | Value to associate with the choice. Useful for creating key-value pairs from user choices. `name` is used when this is undefined.                                                                   |
| `choices`   | `array`           | Array of "child" choices.                                                                                                                                                                           |
| `hint`      | `string`          | Help message to display next to a choice.                                                                                                                                                           |
| `role`      | `string`          | Determines how the choice will be displayed. Currently the only role supported is `separator`. Additional roles may be added in the future (like `heading`, etc). Please create a [feature request] |
| `enabled`   | `boolean`         | Enabled a choice by default. This is only supported when `options.multiple` is true or on prompts that support multiple choices, like [MultiSelect](#-multiselect).                                 |
| `disabled`  | `boolean\|string`  | Disable a choice so that it cannot be selected. This value may either be `true`, `false`, or a message to display.                                                                                  |
| `indicator` | `string\|function` | Custom indicator to render for a choice (like a check or radio button).                                                                                                                             |

### AuthPrompt

The `AuthPrompt` is used to create prompts to log in user using any authentication method. For example, Enquirer uses this class as the basis for the [BasicAuth Prompt](#basicauth-prompt). You can also find prompt examples in `examples/auth/` folder that utilizes `AuthPrompt` to create OAuth based authentication prompt or a prompt that authenticates using time-based OTP, among others.

`AuthPrompt` has a factory function that creates an instance of `AuthPrompt` class and it expects an `authenticate` function, as an argument, which overrides the `authenticate` function of the `AuthPrompt` class.

#### Methods

| **Method**         | **Description**                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| -------------      | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `authenticate()`   | Contain all the authentication logic. This function should be overridden to implement custom authentication logic. The default `authenticate` function throws an error if no other function is provided. |

#### Choices

Auth prompt supports the `choices` option, which is the similar to the choices used in [Form Prompt](#form-prompt).

**Example**

```js
const { AuthPrompt } = require('enquirer');

function authenticate(value, state) {
  if (value.username === this.options.username && value.password === this.options.password) {
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

const CustomAuthPrompt = AuthPrompt.create(authenticate);

const prompt = new CustomAuthPrompt({
  name: 'password',
  message: 'Please enter your password',
  username: 'rajat-sr',
  password: '1234567',
  choices: [
    { name: 'username', message: 'username' },
    { name: 'password', message: 'password' }
  ]
});

prompt
  .run()
  .then(answer => console.log('Authenticated?', answer))
  .catch(console.error);
```

#### Related prompts

* [BasicAuth Prompt](#basicauth-prompt)

***

### BooleanPrompt

The `BooleanPrompt` class is used for creating prompts that display and return a boolean value.

```js
const { BooleanPrompt } = require('enquirer');

const  prompt = new  BooleanPrompt({
  header:  '========================',
  message:  'Do you love enquirer?',
  footer:  '========================',
});

prompt.run()
  .then(answer  =>  console.log('Selected:', answer))
  .catch(console.error);
```

**Returns**: `boolean`

***

### NumberPrompt

The `NumberPrompt` class is used for creating prompts that display and return a numerical value.

```js
const { NumberPrompt } = require('enquirer');

const  prompt = new  NumberPrompt({
  header:  '************************',
  message:  'Input the Numbers:',
  footer:  '************************',
});

prompt.run()
  .then(answer  =>  console.log('Numbers are:', answer))
  .catch(console.error);
```

**Returns**: `string|number` (number, or number formatted as a string)

***

### StringPrompt

The `StringPrompt` class is used for creating prompts that display and return a string value.

```js
const { StringPrompt } = require('enquirer');

const prompt = new StringPrompt({
  header: '************************',
  message: 'Input the String:',
  footer: '************************'
});

prompt.run()
  .then(answer => console.log('String is:', answer))
  .catch(console.error);
```

**Returns**: `string`

## ❯ Custom prompts

With Enquirer 2.0, custom prompts are easier than ever to create and use.

**How do I create a custom prompt?**

Custom prompts are created by extending either:

* Enquirer's `Prompt` class
* one of the built-in [prompts](#-prompts), or
* low-level [types](#-types).

<!-- Example: HaiKarate Custom Prompt -->

```js
const { Prompt } = require('enquirer');

class HaiKarate extends Prompt {
  constructor(options = {}) {
    super(options);
    this.value = options.initial || 0;
    this.cursorHide();
  }
  up() {
    this.value++;
    this.render();
  }
  down() {
    this.value--;
    this.render();
  }
  render() {
    this.clear(); // clear previously rendered prompt from the terminal
    this.write(`${this.state.message}: ${this.value}`);
  }
}

// Use the prompt by creating an instance of your custom prompt class.
const prompt = new HaiKarate({
  message: 'How many sprays do you want?',
  initial: 10
});

prompt.run()
  .then(answer => console.log('Sprays:', answer))
  .catch(console.error);
```

If you want to be able to specify your prompt by `type` so that it may be used alongside other prompts, you will need to first create an instance of `Enquirer`.

```js
const Enquirer = require('enquirer');
const enquirer = new Enquirer();
```

Then use the `.register()` method to add your custom prompt.

```js
enquirer.register('haikarate', HaiKarate);
```

Now you can do the following when defining "questions".

```js
let spritzer = require('cologne-drone');
let answers = await enquirer.prompt([
  {
    type: 'haikarate',
    name: 'cologne',
    message: 'How many sprays do you need?',
    initial: 10,
    async onSubmit(name, value) {
      await spritzer.activate(value); //<= activate drone
      return value;
    }
  }
]);
```

## ❯ Key Bindings

### All prompts

These key combinations may be used with all prompts.

| **command**                      | **description**                        |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| <kbd>ctrl</kbd>  +  <kbd>c</kbd> | Cancel the prompt.                     |
| <kbd>ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>g</kbd>   | Reset the prompt to its initial state. |

<br>

### Move cursor

These combinations may be used on prompts that support user input (eg. [input prompt](#input-prompt), [password prompt](#password-prompt), and [invisible prompt](#invisible-prompt)).

| **command**                    | **description**                          |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| <kbd>left</kbd>                | Move the cursor back one character.      |
