A micro-library for keyboard input in Rust. No extra code — just input and get values!

## 📝 Description

`ask_input` is a tiny wrapper over Rust's standard I/O. One function. All types. Rust figures out the type automatically.

### Features:

- 🎯 One function for everything
- 🧠 Smart type detection
- 🛡️ Automatic stdout flushing to prevent prompt-freezing
- ⚡ Zero dependencies

## ⚙️ Installation


Add to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
ask_input = "0.3.0"
```

## 🧪 Examples


### Basic usage with `expect`


```rust
use ask_input::input;

fn main() {
    let age: i32 = input().expect("Failed to read age");
    let price: f64 = input().expect("Failed to read price");
    let name: String = input().expect("Failed to read name");
    
    println!("Age: {}, Price: {}, Name: {}", age, price, name);
}
```

### With `match` for graceful error handling


```rust
use ask_input::input;

fn main() {
    println!("Enter your age:");
    
    let age: i32 = match input() {
        Ok(num) => num,
        Err(_) => {
            println!("Invalid input! Using default age 18.");
            18
        }
    };
    
    println!("Your age: {}", age);
}
```

### With `unwrap_or` for default values


```rust
use ask_input::input;

fn main() {
    // If input fails, use 0.0 as default
    let price: f64 = input().unwrap_or(0.0);
    println!("Price: {}", price);
}
```

## 📦 Functions

- `input::<T>()` — Input any type (i32, f64, String, etc.)

## 📋 Supported Types


| Type | Example | Notes |
|------|---------|-------|
| `i32` | `42` | Leading/trailing whitespace trimmed |
| `f64` | `3.14` | Leading/trailing whitespace trimmed |
| `String` | `Hello` | Whitespace preserved (only newline removed) |
| `bool` | `true` | Case-sensitive, whitespace trimmed |
| `i64`, `u32`... | Any numeric | Whitespace trimmed |

## ⚠️ Breaking Changes (v0.1.0 → v0.2.0)

- `int_input()` → `input::<i32>()`
- `float_input()` → `input::<f64>()`
- `str_input()` → `input::<String>()`
- Now returns `Result` instead of panicking

## 🔄 Changelog (v0.2.0 → v0.3.0)

- Added automatic `io::stdout().flush()` before reading input. This guarantees that `print!` prompts appear on screen instantly, fixing terminal output freezing.
- Updated all inline documentation to English.
