inquirer-presets

Ready-to-use preset flows for inquirer. No need to manually wire questions — use pre-built wizards for common scenarios.

Installation

npm install inquirer @sgvolpe/inquirer-presets

Usage

import inquirer from 'inquirer';
import { projectSetupPreset, apiConfigPreset, crudPreset } from '@sgvolpe/inquirer-presets';

// Project setup
const project = await inquirer.prompt(projectSetupPreset());

// API config
const api = await inquirer.prompt(apiConfigPreset());

// CRUD resource
const crud = await inquirer.prompt(crudPreset());

Available Presets

| Preset | Purpose | |--------|---------| | projectSetupPreset() | Project name, package manager, language | | apiConfigPreset() | API base URL, auth type | | crudPreset() | Resource name, fields, timestamps | | databasePreset() | Database type, host, port |

API

import {
  projectSetupPreset,
  apiConfigPreset,
  crudPreset,
  databasePreset
} from '@sgvolpe/inquirer-presets';

// Each returns QuestionCollection for inquirer.prompt()
const questions = projectSetupPreset();
const answers = await inquirer.prompt(questions);

🔄 Difference from other packages

| Package / Approach | What it does | Our difference | |--------------------|--------------|----------------| | inquirer | Low-level: you define each question manually with when, choices, etc. | inquirer-presets provides ready-made question flows. You call projectSetupPreset() instead of writing 5+ question objects. | | @inquirer/prompts | Modern inquirer rewrite, same low-level API | Same — no preset flows. We complement it with pre-built wizards. | | Manual inquirer usage | Stack Overflow examples, copy-paste 20 lines per flow | inquirer-presets = 1 line. Extensible — add your own presets. |

TL;DR: inquirer gives you the engine. inquirer-presets gives you the batteries — common flows (project setup, API config, CRUD) out of the box.
