goprompt
goprompt is a minimalistic library that wraps github.com/chzyer/readline
in order to provide simple prompts and selection mechanisms to CLI applications.
Usage
This library provides two main structures: Prompt and Select:
Prompt
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"strings"
"github.com/Gympass/goprompt"
)
func main() {
prompt := goprompt.Prompt{
Label: "Name",
DefaultValue: "Paul Appleseed",
Description: "Something explaining why we are prompting for the user's name",
Validation: func(s string) bool {
// Return true to allow value to be accepted.
// Let's suppose we want to check whether the name contains at least
// one space.
return strings.Contains(s, " ")
},
}
result, err := prompt.Run()
if err != nil {
// Error showing prompt
panic(err)
}
if result.Cancelled {
fmt.Println("Aborted.")
os.Exit(1)
}
}
Select
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"strings"
"github.com/Gympass/goprompt"
)
func main() {
sel := goprompt.Select{
Label: "Select an item",
Description: "Something explaining why we are prompting the user to select an item",
}
result, err := sel.Run()
if err != nil {
// Error showing prompt
panic(err)
}
if result.Cancelled {
fmt.Println("Aborted.")
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Printf("You selected option %s (index %d)\n", result.SelectedValue, result.SelectedIndex)
}

Types ¶
type Prompt ¶
type Prompt struct {
// Label represents the prompt itself. It is presented right before the
// user's input area
Label string
// DefaultValue represents the initial value of the prompt.
DefaultValue string
// Description is shown right before the Label line. Usually this should
// present some context to the user.
Description string
// Validation provides a way to ensure the user has provided a valid value
// to the prompt. When defined, this function receives the value the user
// is trying to use, and must return whether the value is valid. When this
// function returns false, the prompt is replaced from "?" to an X,
// indicating something is wrong, and the prompt is not dismissed until the
// user input a valid value, or aborts the operation.
Validation func(s string) bool
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Prompt displays a single prompt asking the user to input a given information
func (*Prompt) Run ¶
func (p *Prompt) Run() (*PromptResult, error)
Run shows the prompt on screen. Returns either a PromptResult, or an error, in case the displaying process fails.
type PromptResult ¶
type PromptResult struct {
// Value represents the value input by the user
Value string
// Cancelled indicates whether the operation was cancelled by the user;
// usually when they send an interruption signal to the process.
Cancelled bool
}
PromptResult represents the result of a Prompt operation.
type Select ¶
type Select struct {
// Description to be shown before the list itself.
Description string
// Options represent items to be presented to the user.
Options []string
// Label is displayed along the instructions of using arrows to select,
// enter to confirm. Usually this would be a prompt like "Select an item".
Label string
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Select displays a list composed of provided items, and allows users to select a single item using arrow keys.
func (*Select) Run ¶
func (s *Select) Run() (*SelectResult, error)
Run shows the select on screen. Returns either a SelectResult, or an error, in case the displaying process fails.
type SelectResult ¶
type SelectResult struct {
// SelectedIndex indicates which index of provided Select.Options was
// selected by the user.
SelectedIndex int
// SelectedValue indicates which value of provided Select.Options was
// selected by the user.
SelectedValue string
// Cancelled indicates whether the operation was cancelled by the user;
// usually when they send an interruption signal to the process.
Cancelled bool
}
SelectResult represents the result of a Select operation.
