Suppose I want to prompt the user to select among a list of database options with "type checkbox":
{
type: 'checkbox',
name: 'databaseType',
message: `Which ${chalk.yellow('*type*')} of database(s) would you like to use?`,
choices: response => {
const databaseOpts = [
{
value: 'mysql',
name: 'MySQL'
},
{
value: 'cassandra',
name: 'Cassandra'
},
{
value: 'mongodb',
name: 'MongoDB'
}
];
return databaseOpts;
},
default: 0
},
After this initial prompt, I want to get the response for whichever option(s) they selected and prompt them again for the name of the database based on their selection(s) then store them:
{
when: response => response.databaseType === 'mysql',
type: 'input',
name: 'selectedMySQL',
message: 'What is the name of your mysql database? ',
default: 'testmysql',
store: true
},
{
when: response => response.databaseType === 'cassandra',
type: 'input',
name: 'selectedCassandra',
message: 'What is the name of your cassandra database? ',
default: 'testcassandra',
store: true
},
{
when: response => response.databaseType === 'mongo',
type: 'input',
name: 'selectedMongo',
message: 'What is the name of your mongo database? ',
default: 'testmongo',
store: true
}
Sample Desired Output:
For example user's choices in databaseOpts: {mysql, mongodb}
It will then ask:
1) What is the name of your mysql database?:
2) What is the name of your mongo database?:
User enters the name(s) respectively which will be stored in selectedMySQL and selectedMongo.
I'm unfamiliar with yeoman syntax, but this is the logic I want to implement. Please help, Thanks.
I tried:
when: response => response.databaseType.databaseOpts === 'mysql'
but it's still skipping the response prompts.
