infinite interactivity with Inquirer and RxJS's Subject

infinite.js

// run with `node infinite.js` in node v4.x+
// must have Inquirer installed (`npm install inquirer`)

const inquirer = require('inquirer');
const Rx = require('rx');

const prompts = new Rx.Subject();

function makePrompt(msg) {
  return {
    type: 'input',
    name: `userInput-${i}`,
    message: `${msg || 'Say something to start chatting!'}\n\n`,
  };
}

let i = 0;

inquirer.prompt(prompts).ui.process.subscribe(({ answer }) => {
  if (answer !== '') {
    i += 1;
    prompts.onNext(makePrompt(`This is prompt #${i}.`));
  } else {
    prompts.onCompleted();
  }
}, (err) => {
  console.warn(err);
}, () => {
  console.log('Interactive session is complete. Good bye! 👋\n');
});

prompts.onNext(makePrompt());

Run that code in node v10.12.0 with rx v4.x and see nothing in terminal. And looks like you didn't pass i to the makePrompt()

Change onNext() to next(), onComplete() to complete()

@yunhan0 thanks, I will try. Looks like new API

@yunhan0 Put a try catch around inquirer.prompt and I get this error TypeError: dest.addListener is not a function. Looks unavoidable.
