Need styling options
One of the first things that disappointed me from using inquirer is the lack of styling options. I know this isn't something that makes Inquirer work but it is something that people can use to give a unique look to their cli. This could also benefit those who want different language support for their cli, because most of the texts like (Use arrow keys) in lists, are not changeable.
Just to be clear by styling i dont mean choosing color, thats already done by chalk. i mean being able to change the text.
this could either be: A - a object where you define all styles for different things like list, confirm and all other ones B - defining the style on each question object
Things that imo could get a custom styling option Entered input - when you are done with a question the answer will change to a blueish color which should be changeable. List options - the list options are always a blueish color with a > mark when active which again should be changable The gray () texts - things like confirm and list have a little note to inform user what to do which should be changeable for language support purposes
Also the Entered input one might be weird because its literally what the user typed i guess it could be changed with a placeholder thingy like "{text}" where {text} is what the user typed and because its a string you can color it or add things to it.
This is something that'll be quite hard to inject in the current architecture. But as part of the refactor, it is something I want to bring in as a react context like API.
Most prompts are already re-implemented in beta versions on the master branch. Any help getting this feature implemented or help with the refactor itself so it eventually replace the inquirer package is welcomed. Plan is here https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js/issues/692 - and I'm happy to help and discuss the right approach.
I would have loved to help with this but i have other important things to do and i have little to no time to do them. though i will consider helping after I'm done with those.
All in all I'm really happy this is a consideration for Inquirer keep up the amazing work!
