Configurable prompt symbols about prompts HOT 12 CLOSED

I just added very quick and dirty custom symbol support for the confirmation prompt in my branch: https://github.com/aral/prompts/tree/custom-symbols-for-confirm

To use:

{
  type: 'confirm',
  name: 'confirmed',
  message: 'Can you confirm?',
  symbol: () => (done, aborted) => aborted ? '❌' : done ? '🎉' : '🧐',
}

In case it helps as a stopgap for anyone else.

I think that the furthest I'd take this is allowing a specific prefix per prompt.

This is on hold for now – I'll look into this for a v2

Do you want it to be dynamic, so it can change during runtime?

@lukeed per prompt object or prompt function? I guess we can make it a option

I don't need this, but I would guess those who want it would want per object.

Per object, yea. Which in turn to be able to be function too. Don't need too but sounds good thing.

from prompts.

Perfect! This will be implemented.

opt.symbols could look like this:

{
  prompt: { done, aborted, default },
  delimiter: { default },
  item: { expanded, default }
}

Is this too much?

Closing for now

@terkelg opt.symbols is a good option.

Has this idea been abandonned?
Being able to customize the output would be a really nice addition without adding much complexity.
