inquire is a library for building interactive prompts on terminals.

It provides several different prompts in order to interactively ask the user for information via the CLI. With inquire, you can use:

• [Text] to get text input from the user, with built-in autocompletion support;
• [Editor]* to get longer text inputs by opening a text editor for the user;
• [DateSelect]* to get a date input from the user, selected via an interactive calendar;
• [Select] to ask the user to select one option from a given list;
• [MultiSelect] to ask the user to select an arbitrary number of options from a given list;
• [Confirm] for simple yes/no confirmation prompts;
• [CustomType] for text prompts that you would like to parse to a custom type, such as numbers or UUIDs;
• [Password] for secretive text prompts.
