Function promptly::prompt [−][src]
pub fn prompt<T, S>(msg: S) -> Result<T, ReadlineError> where
T: Promptable,
S: AsRef<str>,
Prompt until input can be parsed as T
.
Empty string input causes a re-prompt (including for String
)
Examples
use promptly::prompt; // Prompt until a non-empty string is provided let name: String = prompt("Enter your name")?; // Prompt for other `FromStr` types let age: u32 = prompt("Enter your age")?;
Errors
Returns a ReadlineError
if readline fails.
Input that can’t be coerced into the specified type results in re-prompting.
