Tab through previous answer history.
Persist answers
Tab through answer history
Install with npm:
$ npm install prompt-history
History can only be used with "text" prompts. This will not work with checkbox, list, radio prompts, etc.
var Prompt = require('prompt-base');
var history = require('prompt-history');
// pass the prompt instance to "history()"
var prompt = history(new Prompt({
name: 'number',
message: 'Favorite number?',
}));
prompt.run()
.then(function(answer) {
console.log({number: answer});
})
.catch(console.log)
How it works
Limit the number of answers to persist in the history array.
Type: number
Default: Infinity
Example
var prompt = history(new Prompt({
name: 'number',
message: 'Favorite number?',
historyLimit: 10
}));
Required: Customize the filepath for the persisted history store.
Type: string
Default: ~/.data-store/prompt-history.json
Example
var path = require('path');
var prompt = history(new Prompt({
name: 'number',
message: 'Favorite number?',
path: path.join(__dirname, 'custom-store-path.json')
}));
Pass a custom instance of data-store for persisting answers.
Type: object
Default: instance of data-store
Example
var Store = require('data-store');
var store = new Store('custom-name');
var prompt = history(new Prompt({
name: 'number',
message: 'Favorite number?',
store: store
}));
