# read-stdin ## About read-stdin is a small set of functions I wrote once I got sick of writing code for handling user input in a terminal so I decided to publish it online for anyone to enjoy. ## Examples You can use `read_stdin` to ask the user for input. This function will return a `Result` that will be `Ok` if the user enters something that successfuly parses into a generic type of your choice, and `Err` if it fails parsing. ```rust use read_stdin::read_stdin; let Ok(n) = read_stdin::() else { println!("You entered an incorrect data type!"); return; }; println!("You entered: {}", n) ``` You can also use `read_stdin_util_ok` if you wish to annoy the user until their data parses correctly. ```rust use read_stdin::read_stdin_until_ok; let n = read_stdin_until_ok::(); println!("You entered: {}", n) ```
