Configuration Variables allow humans to interactively change the state of the program.

Let's use an example to see how we can make it interactive.
The following snippet defines our program state with a user name and a method to greet the user:

```
pub struct User {
	name: String,
}
impl User {
	pub fn greet(&self, console: &mut cvar::IConsole) {
		let _ = writeln!(console, "Hello, {}!", self.name);
	}
}
```

Implement [the `IVisit` trait](trait.IVisit.html) to make this structure available for interactivity:

```
# struct User { name: String } impl User { pub fn greet(&self, console: &mut cvar::IConsole) { let _ = writeln!(console, "Hello, {}!", self.name); } }
impl cvar::IVisit for User {
	fn visit_mut(&mut self, f: &mut FnMut(&mut cvar::INode)) {
		f(&mut cvar::Property("name", "description", &mut self.name, String::new()));
		f(&mut cvar::Action("greet!", "description", |_args, console| self.greet(console)));
	}
}
```

That's it! Create an instance of the structure to interact with:

```
# struct User { name: String } impl User { pub fn greet(&self, console: &mut cvar::IConsole) { let _ = writeln!(console, "Hello, {}!", self.name); } }
let mut user = User {
	name: String::new(),
};
```

Given unique access, interact with the instance with a stringly typed API:

```
# struct User { name: String } impl User { pub fn greet(&self, console: &mut cvar::IConsole) { let _ = writeln!(console, "Hello, {}!", self.name); } }
# impl cvar::IVisit for User { fn visit_mut(&mut self, f: &mut FnMut(&mut cvar::INode)) { f(&mut cvar::Property("name", "description", &mut self.name, String::new())); f(&mut cvar::Action("greet!", "description", |_args, console| self.greet(console))); } }
# let mut user = User { name: String::new() };
// Give the user a name
cvar::console::set(&mut user, "name", "World").unwrap();
assert_eq!(user.name, "World");

// Greet the user, the message is printed to the console string
let mut console = String::new();
cvar::console::invoke(&mut user, "greet!", &[""], &mut console);
assert_eq!(console, "Hello, World!\n");
```

This example is extremely basic, for more complex scenarios see the examples.
