@curry684 thx for your nice advice I guess sometimes using cascade may work better than tree selection. but it will be greatly appreciated if you can provide me some situation when you what to use a tree selection in terminal.
My use case is quite specific, I have a bunch of nested objects which can all be selected (leaves and nodes). Given a simple tree like this:
Root #1
Child #1
Subchild #1
Child #2
Root #2
Child #3
Child #4
Subchild #2
Selecting a target here is just more practical to present in a tree than with up to 3 consecutive questions, especially given that the user may not know beforehand where Subchild #2
resides in my case.
ok, I WILL wrok on it soon.
That would be awesome :) It was just a suggestion because it seems you've already done all the hard work on showing a tree, splitting it out to have the file tree just as a "data source" to a generic tree handler shouldn't be hard methinks 😄
Given that this is the only inquirer plugin afaics that provides a tree based question - how about splitting it up in 2 packages
inquirer-tree-selection
and on top of that a thin layer for the filesystem?There are many more applications of trees than just filesystems.
