Struct Input 

pub struct Input<'a> { /* private fields */ }

Builder for configuring and reading user input

Provides a fluent API for combining options like default values, trimming behavior, and prompt visibility.

Examples

use input_py::Input;

// Basic usage
let name = Input::new("Enter your name").read().unwrap();

// With default value and no trimming
let port = Input::new("Enter port")
    .default("8080")
    .trim(false)
    .read()
    .unwrap();

Implementations

impl<'a> Input<'a>

pub fn new(prompt: &'a str) -> Self

Create a new Input builder with the given prompt text. If the prompt is empty, the prompt will not be displayed.

pub fn default(self, value: &'a str) -> Self

Set a default value to return when the user enters nothing.

pub fn trim(self, trim: bool) -> Self

Control whether leading/trailing whitespace is trimmed. Defaults to true.

pub fn show_prompt(self, show: bool) -> Self

Control whether the prompt is displayed. Defaults to true when the prompt is non-empty.

pub fn read(self) -> Result<String, InputError>

Read input from standard stdin/stdout.

pub fn read_with_io<R: InputReader, W: OutputWriter>( self, reader: &mut R, writer: &mut W, ) -> Result<String, InputError>

Read input using custom reader/writer implementations. Useful for testing without actual I/O.
