Prompts

Currently, there are 5 different prompt types supported.

Text

Text is the standard kind of prompt you would expect from a library like this one. It displays a message to the user, prompting them to type something back. The user's input is then stored in a String and returned to the prompt caller.

// ./examples/text_simple.rs

let name = Text::new("What is your name?").prompt();

match name {
    Ok(name) => println!("Hello {}", name),
    Err(_) => println!("An error happened when asking for your name, try again later."),
}

With Text, you can customize several aspects:

• Help message: Display a helpful message at the line below the prompt.
• Default value: Set a default value for when the user just presses enter without any text input.
