Release Notes

🚨 Breaking Changes

This is a major release that modernizes the codebase for Node.js ≥ 20.

ESM Only - No More CommonJS Support

Impact: All packages are now ESM-only. CommonJS imports are no longer supported.

If you're on modern Node versions (≥ 20), this should be transparent and have no impact.

Node.js Version Requirement

Minimum Node.js version is now 20.x

Node.js versions below 20 are no longer supported. Please upgrade to Node.js 20 or later.

Node min versions: >=23.5.0 || ^22.13.0 || ^21.7.0 || ^20.12.0

Deprecated APIs Removed

The following deprecated APIs have been removed after being deprecated in previous releases:

`list` prompt alias removed (affects `inquirer` package only)

The list alias has been removed from the inquirer package. This only impacts users of the legacy inquirer package, not users of @inquirer/prompts or individual prompt packages.

// ❌ No longer available (inquirer package only)
import inquirer from 'inquirer';
const answer = await inquirer.prompt([
  { type: 'list', name: 'choice', message: 'Pick one:', choices: ['a', 'b'] }
]);

// ✅ Use 'select' instead
import inquirer from 'inquirer';
const answer = await inquirer.prompt([
  { type: 'select', name: 'choice', message: 'Pick one:', choices: ['a', 'b'] }
]);

`helpMode` theme property removed

// ❌ No longer available
const answer = await select({
  theme: { helpMode: 'never' }
});

// ✅ Use theme.style.keysHelpTip instead
const answer = await select({
  theme: {
    style: {
      keysHelpTip: () => undefined // or your custom styling function
    }
  }
});

This affects the following prompts:

@inquirer/checkbox
@inquirer/search
@inquirer/select

`instructions` config property removed

// ❌ No longer available
const answer = await checkbox({
  instructions: 'Custom instructions'
});

// ✅ Use theme.style.keysHelpTip instead
const answer = await checkbox({
  theme: {
    style: {
      keysHelpTip: (text) => 'Custom instructions'
    }
  }
});

This affects the following prompts:

@inquirer/checkbox
@inquirer/search
@inquirer/select

`cancel()` method removed

The cancel() method on prompt return custom Promise has been removed.

// ❌ No longer available
const answerPromise = input({ message: 'Name?' });
answerPromise.cancel();
const answer = await answerPromise;

// ✅ Use AbortSignal instead
const controller = new AbortController();
const answer = await input(
  { message: 'Name?' },
  { signal: controller.signal }
);
controller.abort();

Color Library Change: yoctocolors → Node.js `styleText`

Internal change: The project now uses Node.js built-in util.styleText() instead of the yoctocolors package for terminal colors. This makes Inquirer smaller and reduces risks of vulnerabilities coming from transitive dependencies.

Compare Source

[Node 18 compat] Downgraded to mute-stream@2 to maintain Node 18 compatibility.
[Typescript] Allow passing a Partial<{ ... }> type as pre-filled answers.

`v12.9.4`

Compare Source

fix: Remove "easter-egg" vim/emacs bindings conflicting with the type-to-search feature.

`v12.9.3`

Compare Source

Fix Unix yes not properly being processed by the confirm prompt. (yes | node confirm-script.js)

`v12.9.2`

Compare Source

Make @types/node an optional peer dependency.

`v12.9.1`

Compare Source

Replace external-editor dependency with new @inquirer/external-editor. This remove the vulnerable tmp transitive dependency from the dependency tree.

`v12.9.0`

Compare Source

Search prompt: New instructions config to allow localizing the help tips.

`v12.8.2`

Compare Source

Fix #1786 select prompt with indexMode: number theme option didn't properly calculate the items indexes if separators where present in between choices.

`v12.8.1`

Compare Source

Fixes: a transitive dependency (run-aysnc) loaded devDependencies unexpectedly. This is now fixed upstream. Rel #1791

`v12.8.0`

Compare Source

Select prompt: When pressing a number key, we'll ignore separators in counting the index of the item to jump to.
Checkbox prompt: When pressing a number key, we'll ignore separators in counting the index of the item to select.

`v12.7.0`

Compare Source

-input prompt: New prefill option to control if the default value is editable inline or only after pressing tab.

`v12.6.3`

Compare Source

Fix #1743: pagination logic of the select, checkbox and search prompts was fully rewritten to handle edge cases around rendering multi-line choices and pointer positioning.

`v12.6.2`

Compare Source

Chore: dependencies bump

`v12.6.1`

Compare Source

Fix #1741: Issue with SIGINT in some scenarios leaving promises unsettled on exit.
Fix: Remove monorepo related dependencies from all artifacts published to npm. This removes non-standard version specifiers like workspace:* from the public npm packages.

`v12.6.0`

Compare Source

Feat(@inquirer/select): Added an instructions option allowing to customize the messages in the help tips.
Feat(@inquirer/rawlist): Arrow keys will now cycle through the option, just like the @inquirer/select prompt. Also added a loop option to control the list loop behaviour when reaching the boundaries.

`v12.5.2`

Compare Source

README: Add new sponsor
Chore: dependency updates

`v12.5.1`

Compare Source

`v12.5.0`

Compare Source

Feat (select): Introduce theme.indexMode to control displaying an index prefix in front of each choice. (defaults to hidden)
Fix (select): Improve search when number keys are pressed

`v12.4.3`

Compare Source

Fix an issue where inquirer would throw if Node is ran with the new --frozen-intrinsics flag.

`v12.4.2`

Compare Source

`v12.4.1`

Compare Source

Mark @types/node as an optional peer dependency across all packages.

`v12.4.0`

Compare Source

Added new shortcut config to the checkbox prompt. Allows to customize or disable shortcut keys for select all and invert selection.

`v12.3.3`

Compare Source

Replace 3rd party dependency strip-ansi in favour of Node built-in stripVTControlCharacters util.

Checkbox prompt: re-added support for an array of default to be provided listing pre-checked checkboxes. This is a legacy interface brought back given this feature removal was an involuntary breaking change during the v12 release. The preferred interface is to provide the checked property to choices { value: 'bar', checked: true }.

`v12.2.0`

Compare Source

`v12.1.0`

Compare Source

`v12.0.1`

Compare Source

`v12.0.0`

Compare Source

@types/node is now only a peerDependencies. This reduces the install size of inquirer dramatically for folks not using Typescript. It's unlikely to break your builds if you used TS already, if it does run npm install --dev @types/node/yarn add --dev @types/node.

`v11.1.0`

Compare Source

Now exports base utility Typescript types: import type { Question, DistinctQuestion, Answers } from 'inquirer';

You should use as follow to keep the inference working properly:

const questions = [
    { ... }
] as const satisfies Question[];
// If you're not using inquirer plugins, `Question` could alternatively be replaced by `DistinctQuestion` for stricter checks.

`v11.0.2`

Compare Source

Fix #1555: when behaviour changed unexpectedly when returning a falsy value.

`v11.0.1`

Compare Source

`v11.0.0`

Compare Source

No technical breaking changes; but we changed the style of the question prefix once the answer is provided. Once a question is answer, the prefix becomes a tick mark (previously it was the same ? as when the prompt is idle.)

This is theme-able, and so can be overwritten to with theme.prefix.

`v10.2.2`

Compare Source

Fix the filter option not working.
The signal: AbortSignal didn't work with class based prompts (OSS plugins.) Now it should work consistently with legacy style prompts.

`v10.2.1`

Compare Source

Fix expand prompt being broken if a Separator was in the choices array.

`v10.2.0`

Compare Source

Includes various fixes & new features to the different built-in prompts
Fix: Major rework of the Typescript types. Hoping to reduce the amount of finicky type errors (or wrong types) you might've ran into.

`v10.1.8`

Compare Source

`v10.1.7`

Compare Source

`v10.1.6`

Compare Source

`v10.1.5`

Compare Source

`v10.1.4`

Compare Source

`v10.1.3`

Compare Source

`v10.1.2`

Compare Source

Fix broken backward compatibility issues with v9. Choice objects without value should default to use name as the value. Note: Please don't rely on this weird behaviour, but we fixed it since it was an unintended breaking change.

`v10.1.1`

Compare Source

`v10.1.0`

Compare Source

Adds the new { type: 'search' } prompt.

`v10.0.4`

Compare Source

`v10.0.3`

Fix: Remove type requiring a close method on prompt class instances (it wasn't required.)

`v10.0.2`

Compare Source

`v10.0.1`

Compare Source

`v10.0.0`

Compare Source

Re-implemented with Typescript.
Adding CJS support (now inquirer is publishes a dual-build CJS/ESM.)
All core prompts are now coming from @inquirer/prompt.
Custom prompts now should be implemented with @inquirer/core. Custom prompts built on [email protected] will keep working, but should plan a migration.
inquirer.ui.BottomBar is deleted.

My expectation is that this release should be a drop-in replacement for people using inquirer.prompt() and built-ins 🤞🏻. Please open an issue on Github if you run into issues migrating; it's a large rewrite and there might be a few sharp edges to cut! Hope you'll like this new release.

Fix issue with plugins relying on internal inquirer packages file structure.

Fix risk of prototype injection.

`v9.3.0`

Compare Source

Replace chalk with ~~picolors~~ (in 9.3.2 went to yoctocolors to stay with Sindre's packages and reduce amount of provenance.)
Drop many dependencies in favour of native functions when possible.

No impact expected, but it's a large changes in dependencies. Let us know if you run into any issues upgrading!

`v9.2.23`

Compare Source

`v9.2.22`

Compare Source

editor prompt: Fixed compatibility issue between default and waitUserInput options. #1405

On windows, we will now use unicode characters whenever possible

Modified lodash imports to help with tree-shaking
Replace unmaintained through dependency (only affect users of the old bottom bar)

If you cannot migrate, please remember you can keep using the v8.x release line until you're ready.

`v8.2.7`
