Inquirer.js, a popular Node.js library for building interactive command-line interfaces, has released version 12.4.2. Comparing it to the previous stable version, 12.4.1, the primary difference lies in updated dependencies, specifically within the @inquirer scoped packages. Version 12.4.2 incorporates @inquirer/core version 10.1.7 and @inquirer/prompts version 7.3.2, whereas version 12.4.1 used @inquirer/core version 10.1.6 and @inquirer/prompts version 7.3.1.
These updates likely contain bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features within the core components of the interactive prompt system. Developers should consider upgrading to 12.4.2 to benefit from these potential enhancements and ensure compatibility with the latest features offered by the @inquirer packages. The core inquirer package itself facilitates easier creation of CLI apps, by exposing a simple and intuitive interface for gathering user input through various question types. This simplifies tasks like creating setup scripts, configuration tools, or interactive workflows within command-line applications. While file count remained constant at 17, the unpacked size experienced a slight decrease from 72738 to 72126 bytes. The versions share the same peer dependency on @types/node (>=18). The release date of version 12.4.2 is February 15, 2025, while version 12.4.1 was released on February 2, 2025. Note both dates are in the future.
