Enum ScalarKind 

pub enum ScalarKind {
    String,
    Text,
    Bool,
    Path,
}

The kind of value a scalar field collects.

The kind is semantic: it participates in the questionnaire fingerprint, drives the rendered type hint, and selects the shared decoder every collection path uses. Interactive, file, and stdin answers for the same field always run through the same kind decoder, so equivalent raw text decodes identically everywhere.

Variants

String

A short, single-line value (rendered hint: string). A multi-line answer is a decode error.

Text

Free-form prose that may span several lines (rendered hint: text).

Bool

A yes/no value (rendered hint: bool). Decodes true/false/ yes/no/y/n case-insensitively.

Path

A filesystem path (rendered hint: path). Decoded as a single-line string; no filesystem checks are performed at decode time.
