## 1.6.0

### Minor Changes

- [#568](https://github.com/bombshell-dev/clack/pull/568) [`f87933f`](https://github.com/bombshell-dev/clack/commit/f87933fb7b3f4c401b9e51a152b95cb8e7200fe5) Thanks [@florian-lefebvre](https://github.com/florian-lefebvre)! - Updates default formatter of `note()` to note dim lines anymore

  If you want the old behavior, provide a `format()` function:

  ```diff
  import { note } from '@clack/prompts';
  +import { styleText } from 'node:util';

  note(
    'You can edit the file src/index.jsx',
    'Next steps.'
  +  { format: (text) => styleText('dim', text) }
  );
  ```

## 1.5.0

### Minor Changes

- [#543](https://github.com/bombshell-dev/clack/pull/543) [`83428ac`](https://github.com/bombshell-dev/clack/commit/83428ac6d8bc5eda87615cc7b1f14e0c8b16e1b6) Thanks [@florian-lefebvre](https://github.com/florian-lefebvre)! - Adds support for Standard Schema validation

  Prompts accept an optional `validate()` function to validate user input. While a function provides more flexibility and customization over your validation, it can be a bit verbose. To help solve this, there are libraries that provide schema-based validation to make shorthand and type-strict validation substantially easier.

  Libraries following the [Standard Schema specification](https://github.com/standard-schema/standard-schema) are now natively supported. For example, using [Arktype](https://arktype.io/):

  ```diff
  import { text } from '@clack/prompts';
  import { type } from 'arktype';

  const name = await text({
  	message: 'Enter your email',
  +	validate: type('string.email').describe('Invalid email'),
  });
  ```

## 1.0.0

### Major Changes

- c713fd5: The package is now distributed as ESM-only. In `v0` releases, the package was dual-published as CJS and ESM.

  For existing CJS projects using Node v20+, please see Node's guide on [Loading ECMAScript modules using `require()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v20.x/api/modules.html#loading-ecmascript-modules-using-require).

### Minor Changes

- 415410b: This adds a custom filter function to autocompleteMultiselect. It could be used, for example, to support fuzzy searching logic.
- 7bc3301: Prompts now have a `userInput` stored separately from their `value`.
- 8409f2c: feat: add styleFrame option for spinner
- 2837845: Adds suggestion and path prompts
- 99c3530: Adds `format` option to the note prompt to allow formatting of individual lines
- 0aaee4c: Added new `taskLog` prompt for log output which is cleared on success
- 729bbb6: Add support for customizable spinner cancel and error messages. Users can now customize these messages either per spinner instance or globally via the `updateSettings` function to support multilingual CLIs.

  This update also improves the architecture by exposing the core settings to the prompts package, enabling more consistent default message handling across the codebase.

  ```ts
  // Per-instance customization
  const spinner = prompts.spinner({
    cancelMessage: "Operación cancelada", // "Operation cancelled" in Spanish
    errorMessage: "Se produjo un error", // "An error occurred" in Spanish
  });

  // Global customization via updateSettings
  prompts.updateSettings({
    messages: {
      cancel: "Operación cancelada", // "Operation cancelled" in Spanish
      error: "Se produjo un error", // "An error occurred" in Spanish
    },
  });

  // Settings can now be accessed directly
  console.log(prompts.settings.messages.cancel); // "Operación cancelada"

  // Direct options take priority over global settings
  const spinner = prompts.spinner({
    cancelMessage: "Cancelled", // This will be used instead of the global setting
  });
  ```

- 44df9af: Adds a new `groupSpacing` option to grouped multi-select prompts. If set to an integer greater than 0, it will add that number of new lines between each group.
- 55645c2: Support wrapping autocomplete and select prompts.
- 9e5bc6c: Add support for signals in prompts, allowing them to be aborted.
- f2c2b89: Adds `AutocompletePrompt` to core with comprehensive tests and implement both `autocomplete` and `autocomplete-multiselect` components in prompts package.
- 38019c7: Updates the API for stopping spinners and progress bars to be clearer

  Previously, both the spinner and progress bar components used a single `stop` method that accepted a code to indicate success, cancellation, or error. This update separates these into distinct methods: `stop()`, `cancel()`, and `error()`:

  ```diff
  const spinner = prompts.spinner();
  spinner.start();

  // Cancelling a spinner
  - spinner.stop(undefined, 1);
  + spinner.cancel();

  // Stopping with an error
  - spinner.stop(undefined, 2);
  + spinner.error();
  ```

  As before, you can pass a message to each method to customize the output displayed:

  ```js
  spinner.cancel("Operation cancelled by user");
  progressBar.error("An error occurred during processing");
  ```

- c45b9fb: Adds support for detecting spinner cancellation via CTRL+C. This allows for graceful handling of user interruptions during long-running operations.
- f10071e: Using the `group` method, task logs can now have groups which themselves can have scrolling windows of logs.
- df4eea1: Remove `suggestion` prompt and change `path` prompt to be an autocomplete prompt.

- 9bd8072: Add a `required` option to autocomplete multiselect.
- 19558b9: Added support for custom frames in spinner prompt

### Patch Changes

- b0fa7d8: Add support for wrapped messages in multi line prompts
- 9999adf: fix note component overflow bug
- 6868c1c: Adds a new `selectableGroups` boolean to the group multi-select prompt. Using `selectableGroups: false` will disable the ability to select a top-level group, but still allow every child to be selected individually.

- 09e596c: refactor(progress): remove unnecessary return statement in start function
- 2310b43: Allow custom writables as output stream.
- ae84dd0: Update key binding text to show tab/space when navigating, and tab otherwise.
- Updated dependency on `@clack/core` to `1.0.0`

## 0.10.0

### Minor Changes

- 613179d: Adds a new `indicator` option to `spinner`, which supports the original `"dots"` loading animation or a new `"timer"` loading animation.

  ```ts
  import * as p from "@clack/prompts";

  const spin = p.spinner({ indicator: "timer" });
  spin.start("Loading");
  await sleep(3000);
  spin.stop("Loaded");
  ```

- a38b2bc: Adds `stream` API which provides the same methods as `log`, but for iterable (even async) message streams. This is particularly useful for AI responses which are dynamically generated by LLMs.

  ```ts
  import * as p from "@clack/prompts";

  await p.stream.step(
    (async function* () {
      yield* generateLLMResponse(question);
    })()
  );
  ```

## 0.9.1

### Patch Changes

- 8093f3c: Adds `Error` support to the `validate` function
- 98925e3: Exports the `Option` type and improves JSDocannotations
- 1904e57: Replace custom utility for stripping ANSI control sequences with Node's built-in [`stripVTControlCharacters`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/util.html#utilstripvtcontrolcharactersstr) utility.
- Updated dependencies [8093f3c]
- Updated dependencies [e5ba09a]
- Updated dependencies [8cba8e3]
  - @clack/core@0.4.1

## 0.9.0

### Minor Changes

- a83d2f8: Adds a new `updateSettings()` function to support new global keybindings.

  `updateSettings()` accepts an `aliases` object that maps custom keys to an action (`up | down | left | right | space | enter | cancel`).

  ```ts
  import { updateSettings } from "@clack/prompts";

  // Support custom keybindings
  updateSettings({
    aliases: {
      w: "up",
      a: "left",
      s: "down",
      d: "right",
    },
  });
  ```

> [!WARNING]
> In order to enforce consistent, user-friendly defaults across the ecosystem, `updateSettings` does not support disabling Clack's default keybindings.

- 801246b: Adds a new `signal` option to support programmatic prompt cancellation with an [abort controller](https://kettanaito.com/blog/dont-sleep-on-abort-controller).

  One example use case is automatically cancelling a prompt after a timeout.

  ```ts
  const shouldContinue = await confirm({
    message: "This message will self destruct in 5 seconds",
    signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000),
  });
  ```

  Another use case is racing a long running task with a manual prompt.

  ```ts
  const abortController = new AbortController();

  const projectType = await Promise.race([
    detectProjectType({
      signal: abortController.signal,
    }),
    select({
      message: "Pick a project type.",
      options: [
        { value: "ts", label: "TypeScript" },
        { value: "js", label: "JavaScript" },
        { value: "coffee", label: "CoffeeScript", hint: "oh no" },
      ],
      signal: abortController.signal,
    }),
  ]);

  abortController.abort();
  ```

- a83d2f8: Updates default keybindings to support Vim motion shortcuts and map the `escape` key to cancel (`ctrl+c`).

  | alias | action |
  | ----- | ------ |
  | `k`   | up     |
  | `l`   | right  |
  | `j`   | down   |
  | `h`   | left   |
  | `esc` | cancel |
