type: "list" in prompt.js is not working...?

[SatoshiKawabata]

I want to select an item from list by prompt. But type: "list" looks not working... Please help me.

I made prompt.js like this.

module.exports = [
    {
        type: "list",
        choices: ["atoms", "molecules", "organisms", "templates", "pages"],
        name: "direcrory",
        message: `What's atomic directory?`,
    }
};

I execute to create new file. The prompt is below.

What's atomic directory?("atoms", "molecules", "organisms", "templates", "pages") › 

I expected like list.

What's atomic directory?("atoms", "molecules", "organisms", "templates", "pages")
❯◯ atoms
 ◉ molecules
 ◯ organisms
 ◯ templates
 ◯ pages

I have the same problem, did you solve it?

Edit: I mixed up enquirer with inquirer

Thus type: "select" works https://github.com/enquirer/enquirer#select-prompt

To solve your solution use the "Enquirer" module and destructure the "Select object from it. From there you can create a new list with choices. There is no type called list.

Code example provided below from (https://github.com/enquirer/enquirer#select-prompt).

Issue can probably be closed.

const { Select } = require('enquirer');

const prompt = new Select({
  name: 'color',
  message: 'Pick a flavor',
  choices: ['apple', 'grape', 'watermelon', 'cherry', 'orange']
});

prompt.run()
  .then(answer => console.log('Answer:', answer))
  .catch(console.error);

To be specific for above example,

const { Select } = require('enquirer');

const selectPrompt = new Select({
  name: 'color',
  message: 'Pick a flavor',
  choices: ['apple', 'grape', 'watermelon', 'cherry', 'orange']
});
module.exports = {
  prompt: ({ prompter, args }) =>
  selectPrompt.run()
  .then(({ color }) =>
        prompter.prompt({
          type: 'input',
          name: 'folder',
          message: `Please type your color ${color} again:`
        })
      )
      
      
}
