cz-format-extension VS Inquirer.js

Commitizen will prompt you a series of questions that will generate the final commit message. It has multiple adapters, in my case I prefer to be controlling the questions, so I use cz-format-extension.

Almost developers will use Git when developing. commitizen/cz-cli is cool library. If you use that, you can make commit message of Git easily. And also, commitizen community and some developers provides adapter when using cz-cli. In this section, some adapters are intoduced. cz-format-extension is one of adapters that being introduced in cz-cli README.

Inquirer.js is a handy tool for adding interactive prompts to your CLI.

There is a CLI application based on Inquirer. Potentially, it could be another CLI library, say something from the following list. Our goal is to provide integration tests. But before that, let's look at the related terminology.

inquirer

If you boil plop down to its core, it is basically glue code between inquirer prompts and handlebar templates.

This is a new tutorial on how to create a command line interface application, and our application today is a Mortgage Calculator. I used in this program packages such as 1- inquirer for interactive questions and answers: https://www.npmjs.com/package/inquirer 2- Sqlite3 DBMS 3- Chalk for colorful output in the terminal: https://www.npmjs.com/package/chalk

We can easily achieve that with the inquirer package. This package allows you to ask different types of questions, such as input questions (open-text questions), confirmation questions (Yes/No), etc.
