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
