input-rust 🦀

A simple Rust crate that mimics Python's input() function with error handling. It prompts the user for input, trims it, and ensures it's not empty before returning the result.

Features

• Prompts the user for input with a custom message.
• Returns an error if the input is empty.
• Provides error handling for input failures.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
input-rust = "1.0.0"

Usage

You can use the input function to prompt the user for input:

use input_rust::input;

fn main() {
    match input("Please enter some text: ") {
        Ok(value) => println!("You entered: {}", value),
        Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e),
    }

    let text = input("Please enter some text: ").unwrap(); 
    println!("{}", text);
}

Error Handling

If the user enters an empty string or an error occurs, the input function will return an error with a descriptive message:

• If the input is empty, an InvalidInput error is returned.
• If there is any other error reading the input, it returns an error of type Other.
