This project is a re-implementation of the [PyInquirer](https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer) project, with bug fixes of known issues, new prompts, backward compatible APIs as well as more customisation options. ![Demo](https://github.com/kazhala/gif/blob/master/InquirerPy-demo.gif) ## Motivation [PyInquirer](https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer) is a great Python port of [Inquirer.js](https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js/), however, the project is slowly reaching to an unmaintained state with various issues left behind and no intention to implement more feature requests. I was heavily relying on this library for other projects but could not proceed due to the limitations. Some noticeable ones that bother me the most: - hard limit on `prompt_toolkit` version 1.0.3 - various color issues - various cursor issues - No options for VI/Emacs navigation key bindings - Pagination option doesn't work This project uses python3.7+ type hinting with focus on resolving above issues while providing greater customisation options. ## Requirements ### OS Leveraging [prompt_toolkit](https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit), `InquirerPy` works cross platform for all OS. Although Unix platform may have a better experience than Windows. ### Python ``` python >= 3.7 ``` ## Getting Started Checkout full documentation **[here](https://inquirerpy.readthedocs.io/)**. ### Install ```sh pip3 install InquirerPy ``` ### Quick Start #### Classic Syntax (PyInquirer) ```python from InquirerPy import prompt questions = [ {"type": "input", "message": "What's your name:", "name": "name"}, {"type": "confirm", "message": "Confirm?", "name": "confirm"}, ] result = prompt(questions) name = result["name"] confirm = result["confirm"] ``` #### Alternate Syntax ```python from InquirerPy import inquirer name = inquirer.text(message="What's your name:").execute() confirm = inquirer.confirm(message="Confirm?").execute() ``` ## Migrating from PyInquirer Most APIs from [PyInquirer](https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer) should be compatible with `InquirerPy`. If you have discovered more incompatible APIs, please create an issue or directly update README via a pull request. ### EditorPrompt `InquirerPy` does not support [editor](https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer#editor---type-editor) prompt as of now. ### CheckboxPrompt The following table contains the mapping of incompatible parameters. | PyInquirer | InquirerPy | | --------------- | --------------- | | pointer_sign | pointer | | selected_sign | enabled_symbol | | unselected_sign | disabled_symbol | ### Style Every style keys from [PyInquirer](https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer) is present in `InquirerPy` except the ones in the following table. | PyInquirer | InquirerPy | | ---------- | ---------- | | selected | pointer | Although `InquirerPy` support all the keys from [PyInquirer](https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer), the styling works slightly different. Please refer to the [Style](https://inquirerpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/style.html) documentation for detailed information. ## Similar projects ### questionary [questionary](https://github.com/tmbo/questionary) is a fantastic fork which supports `prompt_toolkit` 3.0.0+ with performance improvement and more customisation options. It's already a well established and stable library. Comparing with [questionary](https://github.com/tmbo/questionary), `InquirerPy` offers even more customisation options in styles, UI as well as key bindings. `InquirerPy` also provides a new and powerful [fuzzy](https://inquirerpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/prompts/fuzzy.html) prompt. ### python-inquirer [python-inquirer](https://github.com/magmax/python-inquirer) is another great Python port of [Inquirer.js](https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js/). Instead of using `prompt_toolkit`, it leverages the library `blessed` to implement the UI. Before implementing `InquirerPy`, this library came up as an alternative. It's a more stable library comparing to the original [PyInquirer](https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer), however it has a rather limited customisation options and an older UI which did not solve the issues I was facing described in the [Motivation](#Motivation) section. Comparing with [python-inquirer](https://github.com/magmax/python-inquirer), `InquirerPy` offers a slightly better UI, more customisation options in key bindings and styles, providing pagination as well as more prompts. ## Credit This project is based on the great work done by the following projects & their authors. - [PyInquirer](https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer) - [prompt_toolkit](https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit) ## License This project is licensed under [MIT](https://github.com/kazhala/InquirerPy/blob/master/LICENSE).
