How would I be able to get an answer from a previous question and pass on to the next question for choices for inquirerJS? I know the fact that it is asynchronous but i'm not sure how to create promises here. Any further insight and help would be great.
Example:
var questions = [{
name: 'menu',
type: 'checkbox',
message: 'Which food do you like eating?',
choices: ['pizza', 'hotdog', 'hamburger', 'sandwiches'],
}, {
name: 'favorite',
type: 'checkbox',
message: 'Which one do you like most?',
choices: answers.menu, <------- doesn't work because it is asynchronous
};
According to the documentation choises
can be a function.
var inquirer = require('inquirer');
var questions = [
{
name: 'menu',
type: 'checkbox',
message: 'Which food do you like eating?',
choices: ['pizza', 'hotdog', 'hamburger', 'sandwiches'],
},
{
name: 'favorite',
type: 'checkbox',
message: 'Which one do you like most?',
choices: (answers) => {
return answers.menu;
}
},
];
inquirer.prompt(questions).then(answers => {
console.log(answers);
});
