Clack is a TypeScript library for building beautiful, interactive command-line interfaces in JavaScript. It provides ready-to-use styled prompt components via @clack/prompts and headless, unstyled prompt primitives via @clack/core.
Use cases
- build interactive cli prompts in node
- create a setup wizard for my cli tool
- ask users for text input and confirmations in a terminal app
- build multi-select menus for a command-line app
- add input validation to cli prompts
- build custom prompts with headless primitives
- handle user cancellation gracefully in a cli
When to choose
- you are building a Node.js or Bun CLI and want polished, modern interactive prompts
- you need type-safe prompt components with built-in validation and cancel handling
- you want both prebuilt styled prompts and low-level primitives to build custom components
When to avoid
- you need a full-screen terminal UI framework with layout and mouse support rather than inline prompts
- your project is not JavaScript/TypeScript based
- you only need simple argument parsing rather than interactive prompts
