assemble-ask

Assemble plugin for asking questions and storing answers.

Install

Install with npm

$ npm i assemble-ask --save

Usage

var assemble = require('assemble');
var ask = require('assemble-ask');

app = assemble();
app.use(ask());

app.ask('What is your name?', function(err, answer) {
  // answer => user's answer
});

Ask stored questions

app.question('name', 'What is your name?');
app.ask('name', function(err, answer) {
  // answer => user's answer
});

Automatically return saved answer

app.store.set('name', 'Jon');
app.ask('name', function(err, answer) {
  // answer => 'Jon'
});

Force re-asking a question

app.store.set('name', 'Jon');
app.ask('name', {force: true}, function(err, answer) {
  // answer => given answer
});

Helpers

Also adds an ask helper that can lookup stored questions and answers.

Example

The following will prompt the user once:

{{ask "What is your name"}}

If an answer is given by the user, it will be stored and automatically used until the user asks again on a new project or forces the question to be re-asked.
