Using Ink UI with React to build interactive, custom CLIs

Ink, a framework that brings the features of React to command-line interfaces (CLIs), allows developers to create interactive and customizable CLI tools using component-based architecture. By leveraging Ink and its companion library, Ink UI, users can build CLI applications with reusable components like text inputs and alerts, akin to popular React UI libraries. The tutorial explores setting up an Ink project and demonstrates creating a basic to-do CLI tool, covering tasks such as creating, viewing, and completing tasks. It illustrates how to manage tasks using Node.js's filesystem module while employing React's useState Hook for state management. Ink's flexibility and ease of use make it a popular choice among developers, including those at companies like Gatsby and Shopify, for building sophisticated CLI tools. The tutorial also encourages exploring Ink UI's GitHub documentation for further customization and development possibilities.
