WebquirerBrowser forms for CLI prompts

Collect rich, validated answers in a local browser session and return them to Node.js.

Get started

API reference

Simple CLI API

Await a single inquire() call and receive a typed-by-convention answers object.

Local by default

Forms are served from a short-lived server bound to 127.0.0.1.

Built-in validation

Required fields, select choices, custom validators, cancellation, and timeouts are supported.

The flow

text

CLI → local server → browser form → validated answers → CLI

Webquirer is useful when a terminal prompt is too constrained for a richer setup flow, while keeping the application running locally and returning the result to the original process.

Quick example

import { inquire } from 'webquirer';

const answers = await inquire({
  title: 'Project setup',
  questions: [
    { name: 'name', message: 'Project name', required: true },
    { type: 'select', name: 'stack', message: 'Stack', choices: ['React', 'Vue', 'Svelte'] },
    { type: 'confirm', name: 'deploy', message: 'Deploy?', default: true }
  ]
});
