Overview
A Flutter/Dart package that enables the creation of visually appealing and interactive command-line interface (CLI) prompts inspired by Inquirer.js. It allows developers to build rich user interactions directly in the terminal, such as input forms, selection menus, and confirmation dialogs. The package is designed with testing in mind, making it easy to simulate and validate CLI workflows. Compatible across macOS, Windows, and Linux, it integrates seamlessly into Dart-based CLI applications.
