i am using tf (https://github.com/hi5/TF). Its a text editing library.

I was working on a CLI tool written in Go, using the Cobra tool recently, and I had a use case where I needed a nested prompt for one of the commands. I was using promptui for the prompts and I couldn't find a straightforward way to do this. This short post will show how to create a nested prompt using promptui. The completed code can be found here.

The navigation is dealt with by the promptui framework, so in this respect the extension does not touch/re-defines it. This said, let's move the conversation on GitHub, I am sure we can find a way to make it work :)

The fmt.Scan family of functions exist because there are similar functions in C, but they really aren't suitable for any purpose. I would recommend beginners to just avoid them completely because the way they work is endlessly surprising. In this case, the problem you're running into is that Scanln expects a line, but you had a space instead, but honestly, don't try to debug it, just switch to https://github.com/manifoldco/promptui.

This tutorial will guide us through building an interactive CLI app with Go, Cobra and promptui. We will learn how to prompt the user for input data and persist this data to an SQLite database. Unlike the previous app we built, this experience will feel more like a two way conversation.

I got into cli applications lately and came across cobra. It was highly intuitive and very much easy to use so I couldn't get enough of it and wanted to create something to make it useful along with promptui.

It uses this library to create an interactive prompt. Just use the up and down arrows to select the host you want.
