type, name, message, source[, filter, when]
See inquirer readme for meaning of all except source.
Source will be called with previous answers object and the current user input each time the user types, it must return a promise.
Source will be called once at at first before the user types anything with null as the value. If a new search is triggered by user input it maintains the correct order, meaning that if the first call completes after the second starts, the results of the first call are never displayed.

inquirer.registerPrompt('autocomplete', require('inquirer-autocomplete-prompt'));
inquirer.prompt([{
type: 'autocomplete',
name: 'from',
message: 'Select a state to travel from',
source: function(answersSoFar, input) {
return myApi.searchStates(input);
}
}], function(answers) {
//etc
