Heads up!

Breaking changes made in v02.0!

The main export now returns a function that takes an options object and, when called, returns the toChoices function to be usef for creating the question object.

Usage

var toChoices = require('{%= name %}')([options]);

var question = toChoices('foo', ['a', 'b', 'c']);
console.log(question);

The default type is checkbox, so the above code results in:

{ type: 'checkbox',
  name: 'foo',
  message: 'foo',
  choices:
   [ { name: 'all', value: ['a', 'b', 'c'] },
     { type: 'separator', line: '\u001b[90m————\u001b[39m' },
     { name: 'a' },
     { name: 'b' },
     { name: 'c' } ] }

Supported question types

In addition to checkbox, the following types are also supported:

• expand
• list
• rawlist

Signature and all params are the same. Just pass the type to the main export.

Example

Create a list question:

var toQuestions = require('{%= name %}')({type: 'list'});
var question = toChoices('favorite color?', [
  'red',
  'blue',
  'green'
]);
console.log(question);

Results in:

{ type: 'list',
  choices: [ 'red', 'blue', 'green' ],
  name: 'favorite color',
  message: 'favorite color' }

See the [inquirer2][] documentation for more details about question objects and supported properties.
