pub fn input<S, VA>(
    what: impl Display,
    prompt: impl ToString,
    default: Option<impl Into<S>>,
    validator: Option<VA>,
    history: Option<impl History<String>>,
) -> Result<S, Error>
where

    S::Err: Error,
    VA: InputValidator<String>,
    VA::Err: ToString,

Prompts the user for a string.

Generic arguments

• S: The FromStr-capable type to query.

Arguments

• what: Some string description to show to the user that tells them what kind of thing they are inputting. Should fill in: Invalid .... Only used in the case they fail the first time.
• prompt: The prompt to display to the user.
• default: Any default value to give, or else None.
• validator: A validator that implements the dialoguer::InputValidator trait, or None if it is not possible. You can use the NoValidator concrete type when using no validator like so None::<NoValidator>

Returns
