this is my code. I was trying to make a CLI calculator but this error came. I watched some youtube videos but no one is getting error.
import inquirer from "inquirer";
const answer = await inquirer.prompt([
{message: "Enter your first number.", type: "number", name: "firstNumber"},
{ message : "Enter your second number", type: "number", name: "secondNumber"},
{
message: "Kindly select a operator to perform operation",
type: "list",
name : "operator",
choices : ["Division" , "Multiplication" , "Addition" , "Subtraction"],
},
])
console.log(answer)
And I am getting following error
main.ts:3:38 - error TS2769: No overload matches this call.
The last overload gave the following error.
Argument of type '({ message: string; type: string; name: string; } | { message: string; type: string; name: string; choices: string[]; })[]'
is not assignable to parameter of type 'Readonly<DistributiveMerge<NumberConfig | InputConfig | { message: string; choices: readonly (Separator |
Choice<unknown>)[]; pageSize?: number | undefined; loop?: boolean | undefined; default?: unknown; theme?: { ...; } | undefined; } | ... 5 more ... | EditorConfig, { ...; }>>'.
