npm install --save inquirer-file-path
```

## Features

### Key Maps
- Press `/` key to enter search mode.
- Use either `up`/`down` arrow keys or `k`/`j` to navigate

## Usage


This prompt is anonymous, meaning you can register this prompt with the type name you please:

```javascript
inquirer.registerPrompt('filePath', require('inquirer-file-path'));
inquirer.prompt({
  type: 'filePath',
  ...
})
```

Change `filePath` to whatever you might prefer.

### Options

Takes `type`, `name`, `message`, `basePath` properties.

See [inquirer](https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js) readme for meaning of all except **basePath**.

**basePath** is the relative path from your current working directory

#### Example

```javascript
inquirer.registerPrompt('filePath', require('inquirer-file-path'));
inquirer.prompt([{
  type: 'file',
  name: 'from',
  message: 'Where you like to put this component?',
  basePath: './src'
}]).then(function(answers) {
  // (answers.from is the path chosen)
});
```
