Spaniel Interactive Deserialiser for Serde

This crate is a Rust library which uses the Serde serialisation framework to capture data interactively from users.

Dependency

[dependencies]
serde_spaniel = "0.2"

Using Spaniel

Spaniel can produce a value of any type which implements Serde's Deserialize trait by interactively querying the user for information. For example, to interactively obtain a vector of strings:

let strs: Vec<String> = serde_spaniel::from_console()?;

Hence, a user could input the value vec!["Hello", "World"] using a dialogue such as below:

seq {
  [0] {
    Add element?: y
    string: Hello
  }
  [1] {
    Add element?: y
    string: World
  }
  [2] {
    Add element?: n
  }
}
Accept value?: y
