PromptConfig - @inquirer/prompts v3 to @inquirer/prompts v4

[tuler]

I'm migrating some code from @inquirer/prompts@3.0 to @inquirer/prompts@4.1.
I noticed the PromptConfig type is not exported anymore, and input now receives a InputConfig, which is not exported either.

I used PromptConfig to create simple "custom inputs", more like utility functions, that call input and do some extra goodies, like validation, or typing. Something like this:

import { PromptConfig, input } from "@inquirer/prompts";
import { Address, isAddress, getAddress } from "viem";

/**
 * Prompt for an address value.
 * @param config inquirer config
 * @returns address
 */
export type AddressPromptConfig = PromptConfig<{ default?: Address }>;
export const addressInput = async (
    config: AddressPromptConfig,
): Promise<Address> => {
    const address = await input({
        ...config,
        validate: (value) => isAddress(value) || "Enter a valid address",
    });
    return getAddress(address);
};

What is the recommended way of doing this kind of stuff now, without having to write a full blown custom prompt like the procedure described at the @inquirer/core documentation?

Hi, the PromptConfig just disappeared - it's not used anymore.

To get the input config type, I would recommend going at it this way:

type InputConfig = Parameters<typeof input>[0];

export type AddressPromptConfig = InputConfig & { default?: Address };
