node.js - how to prefix the input using inquirer.prompt -

given following...

var prompts = [{     type: 'input',     name: 'message',     default: 'some message'     message: 'commit message?', }] require('inquirer').prompt(prompts, function(){}) 

the terminal output following

[?] commit message? (some message) || 

the "||" symbolizes cursor

if press enter, without typing anything, inquirer use (some message) default input value.

however, if type @ "some message gets overwritten"

i following instead

[?] commit message? || message 

the "||" symbolizes cursor

basically modify default message, or prefix input value, allowing me modify prefix.

my best solution... not work following

var prompts = [{     type: 'input',     name: 'message',     message: 'commit message?',     when: function(){         process.nexttick(function(){            process.stdout.write('some message');         });     } }] require('inquirer').prompt(prompts, function(){}) 

this following

[?] commit message? message || 

the "||" symbolizes cursor

this seems work, unable move cursor backward in order modify message.

is possible print modifiable string terminal?

this 1 way that:

var inquirer = require("inquirer");  var chalk = require("chalk");   inquirer.prompt([   {     type: "input",     message: "commit message? " + chalk.cyan( "some message" ),     name: "message",     filter: function(val) {       return val + " message";     }   } ], function( answers ) {   console.log( json.stringify(answers, null, "  ") ); }); 

you can make own prompts.

cheers.
