If you are still using CJS, please install inquirer-file-tree-selection-prompt@^1

inquirer.registerPrompt('file-tree-selection', inquirerFileTreeSelection)

inquirer.prompt({

Takes type, name, message, [filter, validate, transformer, default, pageSize, onlyShowDir, onlyShowValid, hideChildrenOfValid, root, hideRoot, multiple, enableGoUpperDirector] properties.

The extra options that this plugin provides are:

• onlyShowDir: (Boolean) if true, will only show directory. Default: false.
• root: (String) it is the root of file tree. Default: process.cwd().
• onlyShowValid: (Boolean) if true, will only show valid files (if validate is provided). Default: false.
• hideChildrenOfValid: (Boolean) if true, will hide children of valid directories (if validate is provided). Default: false.
• transformer: (Function) a hook function to transform the display of directory or file name.
• multiple: (Boolean) if true, will enable to select multiple files. Default: false.
• enableGoUpperDirectory: (Boolean) Show .. in inside root dir, and the user can press space on it to go upper directory. Default: false.

When multiple is enabled, default should be string[] type, otherwise it's string type.
