• When setting a state (useState), it'll only re-renders if the value changed.
• When setting multiple states at once, we'll only trigger one re-renders if it happens inside a hook callback (previously each state change triggered one re-render.)

If you're setting multiple state in a callback from an async function (like setTimeout or a network call), those will not be merged in a single re-renders. For those case, you're better using a state object holding all values to reduce the amount of re-renders. Open to discuss this in #1251

Now exposes the waitForUserInput option. Setting it to false will automatically launch the editor.

Be careful using this option as this mean the user will not have read the question/instruction before reaching the editor.

useEffect now pass the active Readline instance to the effect callback. e.g useEffect((readline) => ...

Rewrote how raw input is handled. This shouldn't cause issue for most, but if you had specific or uncommon use of the testing framework, this could be a breaking change.

@inquirer/[email protected]

Major refactor of the core to allow multiple features:

1. Prompt function now return cancelable promise (e.g input(...).cancel())
2. Reduced amount of writes to the readline (should now be ~1 per render cycle)
3. Make sure to restore the cursor on force exit.

Now includes a stricter answer parser. Prior to this change, the prompt would default to Yes on almost any input.

Fix issue with the default value disappearing from prompt.

Inquirer is now a native Node ECMAScript module. This will require your Node runtime to support es modules, and your app to be an es module. Node documentation over here: https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#modules-ecmascript-modules

If you cannot migrate, please remember you can keep using the v8.x release line until you're ready.
