inquirer_console v1.0.5

Release Notes

Release Date: 2024-03-31

✨ New Features

• Improved Module Export Mechanism:
  • All prompt types (Input, Confirm, Select, Checkbox, Password, Text) are now directly mounted on the global inquirer instance
  • Users can now access all prompt types directly via inquirer.Input, inquirer.Select, etc.
  • Simplified import syntax, enhancing code readability and ease of use

🔧 Improvements

• API Experience Optimization:
  • Unified the way prompt types are referenced, making the API more intuitive
  • Maintained backward compatibility, supporting both call styles (direct class import and access through the inquirer instance)

📚 Usage Examples

Using the global inquirer instance:

from inquirer_console import inquirer

# Using prompt types mounted on the inquirer instance
name = inquirer.Input(
    message="What is your name?",
    validate=lambda val: True if val else "Name cannot be empty!"
).prompt()

# Chain calls remain unchanged
answers = inquirer.prompt([
    {
        'type': 'input',
        'name': 'name',
        'message': 'What is your name?'
    },
    {
        'type': 'list',
        'name': 'favorite_lang',
        'message': 'What is your favorite programming language?',
        'choices': ['Python', 'JavaScript', 'Rust']
    }
])

🔄 Compatibility Notes

This version is fully backward compatible with v1.0.1, requiring no changes to existing code. The new export mechanism is purely to provide a more flexible usage experience.

We recommend prioritizing the use of prompt types mounted on the inquirer instance in new projects for a more concise import experience.
