Configurable prompt symbols

[lauriejim]

Is it actually possible to customize the question prefix ? with emoji for exemple.
It could be really cool to offert a more contextual experience.

And nice job for this project 👍

Do you want it to be dynamic, so it can change during runtime?

[lukeed]

I think that the furthest I'd take this is allowing a specific prefix per prompt.

[terkelg]

@lukeed per prompt object or prompt function? I guess we can make it a option

[lukeed]

I don't need this, but I would guess those who want it would want per object.

[tunnckoCore]

Per object, yea. Which in turn to be able to be function too. Don't need too but sounds good thing.

[terkelg]

Perfect! This will be implemented.

[terkelg]

opt.symbols could look like this:

{
  prompt: { done, aborted, default },
  delimiter: { default },
  item: { expanded, default }
}

Is this too much?

[terkelg]

Closing for now

[lauriejim]

@terkelg opt.symbols is a good option.

[jzecca]

Has this idea been abandonned?
Being able to customize the output would be a really nice addition without adding much complexity.

[terkelg]

This is on hold for now – I'll look into this for a v2

I just added very quick and dirty custom symbol support for the confirmation prompt in my branch: https://github.com/aral/prompts/tree/custom-symbols-for-confirm

To use:

{
  type: 'confirm',
  name: 'confirmed',
  message: 'Can you confirm?',
  symbol: () => (done, aborted) => aborted ? '❌' : done ? '🎉' : '🧐',
}

In case it helps as a stopgap for anyone else.
