Next.js Codebase Analysis <> create-next-app <> index.ts explained — Part 1.17

In the previous article, I wrote about a prompt related to tailwind, src-dir and app.

I teach project-based frontend learning at https://tthroo.com, check it out.

if (
      typeof program.importAlias !== 'string' ||
      !program.importAlias.length
    ) {
      if (ciInfo.isCI) {
        // We don't use preferences here because the default value is @/* regardless of existing preferences
        program.importAlias = defaults.importAlias
      } else {
        const styledImportAlias = blue('import alias')

        const { customizeImportAlias } = await prompts({
          onState: onPromptState,
          type: 'toggle',
          name: 'customizeImportAlias',
          message: `Would you like to customize the default ${styledImportAlias} (${defaults.importAlias})?`,
          initial: getPrefOrDefault('customizeImportAlias'),
          active: 'Yes',
          inactive: 'No',
        })

        if (!customizeImportAlias) {
          // We don't use preferences here because the default value is @/* regardless of existing preferences
          program.importAlias = defaults.importAlias
        } else {
          const { importAlias } = await prompts({
            onState: onPromptState,
            type: 'text',
            name: 'importAlias',
            message: `What ${styledImportAlias} would you like configured?`,
            initial: getPrefOrDefault('importAlias'),
            validate: (value) =>
              /.+\/\*/.test(value)
                ? true
                : 'Import alias must follow the pattern <prefix>/*',
          })
          program.importAlias = importAlias
          preferences.importAlias = importAlias
        }
      }
    }
  }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The above code is reponsible for the prompts shown in below 2 images:

prompt-1

prompt-2

Notice that these prompts do not store user preferences since they use a default value for import.

Conclusion:

With this, all the prompts related code is complete. Up next, I will explain how the next app starter project is created.
