Build Status Build status

This Rust package allows you to easily prompt for input from STDIN in a console application. Essentially, this crate calls std::io::read_line() and then removes the ending \n from the result, because you most likely don't need the \n. And of course, there are some utility functions around that.

You can build the documentation with cargo doc or view it online.

I'd appreciate feedback if you use this library :-)

Usage

Add rprompt as a dependency in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rprompt = "1.0"

Use rprompt within your code:

extern crate rprompt;

fn main() {
    // Prompt for a reply on STDOUT
    let reply = rprompt::prompt_reply_stdout("Password: ").unwrap();
    println!("Your reply is {}", reply);

    // Prompt for a reply on STDERR
    let reply = rprompt::prompt_reply_stderr("Password: ").unwrap();
    println!("Your reply is {}", reply);

    // Read a reply without prompt
    let reply = rprompt::read_reply().unwrap();
    println!("Your reply is {}", reply);
}
