### Intro
|
|
|
|
yesno is a super simple nodejs library for issuing and handling responses to boolean (or rather, binary) questions
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
npm install yesno
|
|
|
|
Or point your package.json at the latest version of yesno
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
The usage of **ask** is as follows:
|
|
|
|
ask(
|
|
<string> question,
|
|
<boolean|null> default_value,
|
|
<function> response_handler,
|
|
<array|null> yes_values,
|
|
<array|null> no_values
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
If yes_values or no_values aren't supplied, yesno falls back on accepting "yes" or "y" and "no" or "n".
|
|
|
|
yesno handles all responses case insensitively.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
var yesno = require('yesno');
|
|
|
|
yesno.ask('Are you sure you want to continue?', true, function(ok) {
|
|
if(ok) {
|
|
console.log("Yay!");
|
|
} else {
|
|
console.log("Nope.");
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
##### Custom Yes/No response values
|
|
|
|
var yesno = require('yesno');
|
|
|
|
yesno.ask('Dude, Is this groovy or what?',true, function(ok) {
|
|
if(ok) {
|
|
console.log("Tubular.");
|
|
} else {
|
|
console.log("Aw, why you gotta be like that?")
|
|
}
|
|
}, ['groovy'],['or what']);
|
|
|
|
Now the question only responds to "groovy" as yes and "or what" as no.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### No default value
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you may want to ensure the user didn't accidentally accept a default. You can disable the default response by passing null as the default_value parameter
|
|
|
|
var yesno = require('yesno');
|
|
|
|
var handleResponse = function(ok) {
|
|
...
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
yesno.ask("Are you sure you want to 'rm-rf /' ?", null, handleResponse);
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### Globally changing Yes/No respones values
|
|
|
|
You can change the built in yes/no accepted responses by altering yesno's options attribute:
|
|
|
|
var yesno = require('yesno');
|
|
|
|
yesno.options.yes = ['ja','si'];
|
|
yesno.options.no = ['nein','no'];
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### Handling invalid responses
|
|
|
|
By default, if the user enters a value that isn't recognized as an acceptable response, it will
|
|
print out a message like:
|
|
|
|
Invalid response.
|
|
Answer either yes : (yes, y)
|
|
Or no : (no, n)
|
|
|
|
and re-ask the question. If you want to change this behavior, you can set the invalid handler before asking your question:
|
|
|
|
var yesno = require('yesno');
|
|
|
|
yesno.onInvalidHandler(function (question, default_value, callback, yes_values, no_values) {
|
|
process.stdout.write("\n Whoa. That was not a good answer. Well. No more tries for you.");
|
|
process.exit(1);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// ask a question
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Future / Todo
|
|
|
|
- Allow supplying your own stdin/stdout streams so it doesn't always write to the process?
|
|
- Put in some error handling
|
|
- Tests |
