Enquirer is a JavaScript library for building stylish, user-friendly interactive command-line prompts. It is lightweight, promise-based, and extensible, and is used by popular tools like eslint, webpack, yarn, and pnpm.
Use cases
- ask users questions in a cli tool
- create interactive terminal prompts for nodejs
- build confirm and input prompts for scaffolding tools
- collect user input with validation in a command-line app
- replace inquirer with a faster prompt library
- create custom prompt types for a cli wizard
When to choose
- you need polished interactive prompts in a Node.js CLI
- you want a lightweight, fast alternative to Inquirer
- you need customizable or custom prompt types with plugins
When to avoid
- you are building a web UI rather than a terminal app
- you need prompts outside the Node.js ecosystem
- you only need simple yes/no input without styling
