Usage
Command Line Utility
The main reason I created this tool is to use it as an stylish interactive and user-friendly prompt for bash scripting.
#!/bin/bash
confirm=$(enquirer confirm -m "Do you want to continue?" -d)
if [ "$confirm" = "true" ]; then
echo "Continuing ..."
else
echo "Thanks for using this tool. Quitting ..."
exit
fi
