rich-inquirer

Interactive CLI prompts using Rich and readchar, inspired by python-inquirer.

Features

• Text input with password masking
• Select and fuzzy select prompts
• Confirmation prompts
• Prompt chaining with PromptContext
• Esc cancellation returning None

Install

pip install rich-inquirer

Usage

from rich_inquirer.prompt import TextPrompt, SelectPrompt, ConfirmPrompt, FuzzyPrompt

name = TextPrompt("What's your name?").ask()
language = SelectPrompt("Choose a language:", ["Python", "Go", "Rust"]).ask()
confirmed = ConfirmPrompt("Continue?", default=True).ask()
match = FuzzyPrompt("Search language:", ["Python", "TypeScript", "Rust"]).ask()

The prompt classes are also available from the top-level package:

from rich_inquirer import TextPrompt

Use Choice when the displayed label should differ from the returned value.

from rich_inquirer.base import Choice
from rich_inquirer.prompt import SelectPrompt

choice = SelectPrompt(
    "Choose a language:",
    [
        Choice("py", name="Python"),
        Choice("rs", name="Rust"),
    ],
).ask()

PromptContext

from rich_inquirer.context import PromptContext
from rich_inquirer.prompt import TextPrompt, SelectPrompt, ConfirmPrompt

context = PromptContext()
context.add("name", TextPrompt("Enter your name:"))
context.add("language", SelectPrompt("Choose language:", ["Python", "Go", "Rust"]))
context.add("confirm", ConfirmPrompt("Continue?", default=True))

results = context.run()
print(results)

If a prompt is cancelled with Esc, PromptContext.run() stops and returns the results collected so far.
