Rich, simple, synchronous command-line prompt library for Dart.
import 'package:prompts/prompts.dart' as prompts;
void main() {
// Easily get a single line.
var name = prompts.get('Enter your name');
print('Hello, $name!');
// ... Or many lines.
print('Tell me about yourself.');
var bio = prompts.get("Enter some lines, using '\\' to escape line breaks",
allowMultiline: true);
print('About $name:\n$bio');
// Supports default values.
name = prompts.get('Enter your REAL name', defaultsTo: name);
print('Hello, $name!');
// "High-level" prompts are built upon [get].
// For example, we can prompt for confirmation trivially.
bool shouldDownload = prompts.getBool('Really download this package?');
if (!shouldDownload)
print('Not downloading.');
else
print('Downloading...!');
// Or, get an integer, WITH validation.
int age = prompts.getInt('How old are you?', defaultsTo: 23, colon: false);
print('$name, you\'re $age? Cool!');
// We can choose from various values.
// There are two methods - shorthand and regular.
var rgb = [Color.red, Color.green, Color.blue];
Color color = prompts.chooseShorthand('Tell me your favorite color', rgb);
print('You chose: ${color.about}');
// The standard chooser prints to multiple lines, but is often
// clearer to read, and has more obvious semantics.
color = prompts.choose('Choose another color', rgb, defaultsTo: Color.blue);
print(color.about);
