How do you create an arrow-key menu list?
I'm looking for something like after entering in eslint init or create-react-app <project>? (see images below)
Searching around to find ways to create a CLI, I found NodeJS to be an option followed by a few tools: Commander.js, Vorpal, and/or create-new-cli.
If I am on the right track, how can I create a CLI arrow-key select menu?
I believe yeoman is using inquirer. Source: yo's dependencies.
I've also seen prompts which has a similar arrow selection feature and other cli ui/ux features. See the demos about halfway down the page.
Note: I've never actually used either, I'm just in the same research phase.
looks like 'inquirer' (npm i inquirer)
also for progress bars and such you should look at clui (npm i clui)
for parsing commands most use commander (npm commander) or the open cli framework (npm i oclif) - you can also look at yargs (very similar to commander, npm i yargs)
inquirer and clui work very well with both command parsers.
Have fun.
