input_validation 0.1.2

//! Prompts the user for input and parses the input as a value of type 'T'.
//!
//! If the input cannot be parsed as the request 'T', the function will prompt the user again
//! until a valid input is entered.
//! 
//! # Arguments
//! 
//! * 'prompt' - A string that will be printed to the console to prompt the user for input.
//! 
//! # Returns
//! 
//! A value of type 'T' that was parsed from the user's input.
//! 
//! # Panics
//! This function will panic if 'T' does not implement the 'FromStr' trait.
