Cannot bypass list prompt when its value is an object

[knikolov-nuvolo]

I have a list prompt, and each item in the list has an object set for its value, e.g.:

{
  type: 'list',
  name: 'folder',
  message: 'Select folder:',
  choices: [
    {
      name: 'components',
      short: 'components',
      value: {
        name: 'components',
        relativePath: './src/components',
        absolutePath: '/Users/knikolov/Projects/my-project/src/components',
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'test',
      short: 'test',
      value: {
        name: 'test',
        relativePath: './test',
        absolutePath: '/Users/knikolov/Projects/my-project/test',
      },
    },
  ]
}

When I try to bypass that prompt with any of these, it fails.

After debugging, I found out that the reason is because of this line:
https://github.com/plopjs/node-plop/blob/1c09ef314eed9f16a8071a2870c6df472201be02/src/prompt-bypass.js#L27

Here, it expects that the value is always string and tries to call toLowerCase() without checking its type.
If we add typeof choiceValue === 'string' it should be possible to match choice values by name and/or index.

As a temporary solution I added toLowerCase: () => name to the value (which is an ugly solution).

Oh, this is a good catch!

Thanks for looking into the code to find the solution - that would've taken me a while, admittedly.

Your solution of typeof == 'string' seems like a great solution to me. Any chance you'd want to open a PR? :)
