## Examples
|
|
|
|
Examples can be found in the `examples/` directory. Run them
|
|
to see basic behavior:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go get github.com/AlecAivazis/survey/v2
|
|
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/AlecAivazis/survey
|
|
|
|
go run examples/simple.go
|
|
go run examples/validation.go
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running the Prompts
|
|
|
|
There are two primary ways to execute prompts and start collecting information from your users: `Ask` and
|
|
`AskOne`. The primary difference is whether you are interested in collecting a single piece of information
|
|
or if you have a list of questions to ask whose answers should be collected in a single struct.
|
|
For most basic usecases, `Ask` should be enough. However, for surveys with complicated branching logic,
|
|
we recommend that you break out your questions into multiple calls to both of these functions to fit your needs.
|
|
|
|
### Configuring the Prompts
|
|
|
|
Most prompts take fine-grained configuration through fields on the structs you instantiate. It is also
|
|
possible to change survey's default behaviors by passing `AskOpts` to either `Ask` or `AskOne`. Examples
|
|
in this document will do both interchangeably:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
prompt := &Select{
|
|
Message: "Choose a color:",
|
|
Options: []string{"red", "blue", "green"},
|
|
// can pass a validator directly
|
|
Validate: survey.Required,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// or define a default for the single call to `AskOne`
|
|
// the answer will get written to the color variable
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &color, survey.WithValidator(survey.Required))
|
|
|
|
// or define a default for every entry in a list of questions
|
|
// the answer will get copied into the matching field of the struct as shown above
|
|
survey.Ask(questions, &answers, survey.WithValidator(survey.Required))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
```golang

|
prompt := &survey.Password{
|
|
Message: "Please type your password",
|
|
}
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &password)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Confirm
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/UnkemptCarefulGermanpinscher-size_restricted.gif" width="400px"/>
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
name := false
|
|
prompt := &survey.Confirm{
|
|
Message: "Do you like pie?",
|
|
}
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &name)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Select
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/GrimFilthyAmazonparrot-size_restricted.gif" width="450px"/>
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
color := ""
|
|
prompt := &survey.Select{
|
|
Message: "Choose a color:",
|
|
Options: []string{"red", "blue", "green"},
|
|
}
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &color)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fields and values that come from a `Select` prompt can be one of two different things. If you pass an `int`
|
|
the field will have the value of the selected index. If you instead pass a string, the string value selected
|
|
will be written to the field.
|
|
|
|
The user can also press `esc` to toggle the ability cycle through the options with the j and k keys to do down and up respectively.
|
|
|
|
By default, the select prompt is limited to showing 7 options at a time
|
|
and will paginate lists of options longer than that. This can be changed a number of ways:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
// as a field on a single select
|
|
prompt := &survey.MultiSelect{..., PageSize: 10}
|
|
|
|
// or as an option to Ask or AskOne
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &days, survey.WithPageSize(10))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### MultiSelect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
days := []string{}
|
|
prompt := &survey.MultiSelect{
|
|
Message: "What days do you prefer:",
|
|
Options: []string{"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"},
|
|
}
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &days)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fields and values that come from a `MultiSelect` prompt can be one of two different things. If you pass an `int`
|
|
the field will have a slice of the selected indices. If you instead pass a string, a slice of the string values
|
|
selected will be written to the field.
|
|
|
|
The user can also press `esc` to toggle the ability cycle through the options with the j and k keys to do down and up respectively.
|
|
|
|
By default, the MultiSelect prompt is limited to showing 7 options at a time
|
|
and will paginate lists of options longer than that. This can be changed a number of ways:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
// as a field on a single select
|
|
prompt := &survey.MultiSelect{..., PageSize: 10}
|
|
|
|
// or as an option to Ask or AskOne
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &days, survey.WithPageSize(10))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Editor
|
|
|
|
Launches the user's preferred editor (defined by the \$VISUAL or \$EDITOR environment variables) on a
|
|
temporary file. Once the user exits their editor, the contents of the temporary file are read in as
|
|
the result. If neither of those are present, notepad (on Windows) or vim (Linux or Mac) is used.
|
|
|
|
You can also specify a [pattern](https://golang.org/pkg/io/ioutil/#TempFile) for the name of the temporary file. This
|
|
can be useful for ensuring syntax highlighting matches your usecase.
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
prompt := &survey.Editor{
|
|
Message: "Shell code snippet",
|
|
FileName: "*.sh",
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &content)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Filtering Options
|
|
|
|
By default, the user can filter for options in Select and MultiSelects by typing while the prompt
|
|
is active. This will filter out all options that don't contain the typed string anywhere in their name, ignoring case.
|
|
|
|
A custom filter function can also be provided to change this behavior:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
func myFilter(filterValue string, optValue string, optIndex int) bool {
|
|
// only include the option if it includes the filter and has length greater than 5
|
|
return strings.Contains(optValue, filterValue) && len(optValue) >= 5
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// configure it for a specific prompt
|
|
&Select{
|
|
Message: "Choose a color:",
|
|
Options: []string{"red", "blue", "green"},
|
|
Filter: myFilter,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// or define a default for all of the questions
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &color, survey.WithFilter(myFilter))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Keeping the filter active
|
|
|
|
By default the filter will disappear if the user selects one of the filtered elements. Once the user selects one element the filter setting is gone.
|
|
|
|
However the user can prevent this from happening and keep the filter active for multiple selections in a e.g. MultiSelect:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
// configure it for a specific prompt
|
|
&Select{
|
|
Message: "Choose a color:",
|
|
Options: []string{"light-green", "green", "dark-green", "red"},
|
|
KeepFilter: true,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// or define a default for all of the questions
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &color, survey.WithKeepFilter(true))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Validation
|
|
|
|
Validating individual responses for a particular question can be done by defining a
|
|
`Validate` field on the `survey.Question` to be validated. This function takes an
|
|
`interface{}` type and returns an error to show to the user, prompting them for another
|
|
response. Like usual, validators can be provided directly to the prompt or with `survey.WithValidator`:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
q := &survey.Question{
|
|
Prompt: &survey.Input{Message: "Hello world validation"},
|
|
Validate: func (val interface{}) error {
|
|
// since we are validating an Input, the assertion will always succeed
|
|
if str, ok := val.(string) ; !ok || len(str) > 10 {
|
|
return errors.New("This response cannot be longer than 10 characters.")
|
|
}
|
|
return nil
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
color := ""
|
|
prompt := &survey.Input{ Message: "Whats your name?" }
|
|
|
|
// you can pass multiple validators here and survey will make sure each one passes
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &color, survey.WithValidator(survey.Required))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Built-in Validators
|
|
|
|
`survey` comes prepackaged with a few validators to fit common situations. Currently these
|
|
validators include:
|
|
|
|
| name | valid types | description | notes |
|
|
| ------------ | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Required | any | Rejects zero values of the response type | Boolean values pass straight through since the zero value (false) is a valid response |
|
|
| MinLength(n) | string | Enforces that a response is at least the given length | |
|
|
| MaxLength(n) | string | Enforces that a response is no longer than the given length | |
|
|
| MaxItems(n) | []OptionAnswer | Enforces that a response has no more selections of the indicated | |
|
|
| MinItems(n) | []OptionAnswer | Enforces that a response has no less selections of the indicated | |
|
|
|
|
## Help Text
|
|
|
|
All of the prompts have a `Help` field which can be defined to provide more information to your users:
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/CloudyRemorsefulFossa-size_restricted.gif" width="400px" style="margin-top: 8px"/>
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
&survey.Input{
|
|
Message: "What is your phone number:",
|
|
Help: "Phone number should include the area code",
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Changing the input rune
|
|
|
|
In some situations, `?` is a perfectly valid response. To handle this, you can change the rune that survey
|
|
looks for with `WithHelpInput`:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/AlecAivazis/survey/v2"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
number := ""
|
|
prompt := &survey.Input{
|
|
Message: "If you have this need, please give me a reasonable message.",
|
|
Help: "I couldn't come up with one.",
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &number, survey.WithHelpInput('^'))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Changing the Icons
|
|
|
|
Changing the icons and their color/format can be done by passing the `WithIcons` option. The format
|
|
follows the patterns outlined [here](https://github.com/mgutz/ansi#style-format). For example:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/AlecAivazis/survey/v2"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
number := ""
|
|
prompt := &survey.Input{
|
|
Message: "If you have this need, please give me a reasonable message.",
|
|
Help: "I couldn't come up with one.",
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
survey.AskOne(prompt, &number, survey.WithIcons(func(icons *survey.IconSet) {
|
|
// you can set any icons
|
|
icons.Question.Text = "⁇"
|
|
// for more information on formatting the icons, see here: https://github.com/mgutz/ansi#style-format
|
|
icons.Question.Format = "yellow+hb"
|
|
}))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The icons and their default text and format are summarized below:
|
|
|
|
| name | text | format | description |
|
|
| -------------- | ---- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Error | X | red | Before an error |
|
|
| Help | i | cyan | Before help text |
|
|
| Question | ? | green+hb | Before the message of a prompt |
|
|
| SelectFocus | > | green | Marks the current focus in `Select` and `MultiSelect` prompts |
|
|
| UnmarkedOption | [ ] | default+hb | Marks an unselected option in a `MultiSelect` prompt |
|
|
| MarkedOption | [x] | cyan+b | Marks a chosen selection in a `MultiSelect` prompt |
|
|
|
|
## Custom Types
|
|
|
|
survey will assign prompt answers to your custom types if they implement this interface:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
type Settable interface {
|
|
WriteAnswer(field string, value interface{}) error
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here is an example how to use them:
|
|
|
|
```golang
|
|
type MyValue struct {
|
|
value string
|
|
}
|
|
func (my *MyValue) WriteAnswer(name string, value interface{}) error {
|
|
my.value = value.(string)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
myval := MyValue{}
|
|
survey.AskOne(
|
|
&survey.Input{
|
|
Message: "Enter something:",
|
|
},
|
|
&myval
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
You can test your program's interactive prompts using [go-expect](https://github.com/Netflix/go-expect). The library
|
|
can be used to expect a match on stdout and respond on stdin. Since `os.Stdout` in a `go test` process is not a TTY,
|
|
if you are manipulating the cursor or using `survey`, you will need a way to interpret terminal / ANSI escape sequences
|
|
for things like `CursorLocation`. `vt10x.NewVT10XConsole` will create a `go-expect` console that also multiplexes
|
|
stdio to an in-memory [virtual terminal](https://github.com/hinshun/vt10x).
|
|
|
|
For some examples, you can see any of the tests in this repo.
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### What kinds of IO are supported by `survey`?
|
|
|
|
survey aims to support most terminal emulators; it expects support for ANSI escape sequences.
|
|
This means that reading from piped stdin or writing to piped stdout is **not supported**,
|
|
and likely to break your application in these situations. See [#337](https://github.com/AlecAivazis/survey/pull/337#issue-581351617)
|
|
|
|
### Why isn't sending a SIGINT (aka. CTRL-C) signal working?
|
|
|
|
When you send an interrupt signal to the process, it only interrupts the current prompt instead of the entire process. This manifests in a `github.com/AlecAivazis/survey/v2/terminal.InterruptErr` being returned from `Ask` and `AskOne`. If you want to stop the process, handle the returned error in your code:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
err := survey.AskOne(prompt, &myVar)
|
|
if err == terminal.InterruptErr {
|
|
fmt.Println("interrupted")
|
|
|
|
os.Exit(0)
|
|
} else if err != nil {
|
|
panic(err)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
