choices and coerce sequence #756
Description
This code
const argv = require('yargs')
.choices('user', ['Goofy', 'Miky'])
.coerce('user', user => {
switch (user) {
case 'Goofy': return {
firstName: 'Mark',
lastName: 'Pipe'
}
case 'Miky': return {
firstName: 'Elon',
lastName: 'Stone'
}
}
})
will fail because choices will run after coerce. But should it be this way? The obvious purpose of choices is to validate user input but not a generated value. And it would be very good if we will have an opportunity to validate user input and then build some useful value base on it
