});

Property	Type	Required	Description
message	`string`	yes	The question to ask
default	`string`	no	Default value which will automatically be present in the editor
validate	`string => boolean \| string \| Promise<string \| boolean>`	no	On submit, validate the content. When returning a string, it'll be used as the error message displayed to the user. Note: returning a rejected promise, we'll assume a code error happened and crash.
postfix	`string`	no (default to `.txt`)	The postfix of the file being edited. Adding this will add color highlighting to the file content in most editors.
