Crate input_validation

Expand description

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.

A value of type ‘T’ that was parsed from the user’s input.

This function will panic if ‘T’ does not implement the ‘FromStr’ trait.

get_bool
Prompts the user for a boolean input, returning true if the input is “y” or “yes” (case insensitive), and false if the input is “n” or “no” (case insensitive). If the input does not match either “y”, “yes”, “n”, or “no”, the function will loop and prompt the user again.
