```
## Prompt types
### Input
Takes a generic type parameter and performs type conversion as appropriate.
```csharp
var name = Prompt.Input("What's your name?");
Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {name}!");
var number = Prompt.Input("Enter any number");
Console.WriteLine($"Input = {number}");
```
### Confirm
```csharp
var answer = Prompt.Confirm("Are you ready?");
Console.WriteLine($"Your answer is {answer}");
```
### Password
```csharp
var secret = Prompt.Password("Type new password");
Console.WriteLine("Password OK");
```
### Select
```csharp
var city = Prompt.Select("Select your city", new[] { "Seattle", "London", "Tokyo" });
Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {city}!");
```
### MultiSelect (Checkbox)
```csharp
var cities = Prompt.MultiSelect("Which cities would you like to visit?", new[] { "Seattle", "London", "Tokyo", "New York", "Singapore", "Shanghai" }, pageSize: 3);
Console.WriteLine($"You picked {string.Join(", ", cities)}");
```
### List
```csharp
var value = Prompt.List("Please add item(s)");
Console.WriteLine($"You picked {string.Join(", ", value)}");
```
### Bind (Model-based prompts)
```csharp
// Input model definition
public class MyFormModel
{
[Display(Name = "What's your name?")]
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Type new password")]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Required]
[MinLength(8)]
public string Password { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Select your city")]
[Required]
[InlineItems("Seattle", "London", "Tokyo")]
public string City { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Are you ready?")]
public bool? Ready { get; set; }
}
var result = Prompt.Bind();
```
## Configuration
### Symbols
```csharp
Prompt.Symbols.Prompt = new Symbol("🤔", "?");
Prompt.Symbols.Done = new Symbol("😎", "V");
Prompt.Symbols.Error = new Symbol("😱", ">>");
var name = Prompt.Input("What's your name?");
Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {name}!");
```
### Color schema
```csharp
Prompt.ColorSchema.Answer = ConsoleColor.DarkRed;
Prompt.ColorSchema.Select = ConsoleColor.DarkCyan;
var name = Prompt.Input("What's your name?");
Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {name}!");
```
### Cancellation support
```csharp
// Throw an exception when canceling with Ctrl-C
Prompt.ThrowExceptionOnCancel = true;
try
{
var name = Prompt.Input("What's your name?");
Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {name}!");
}
catch (PromptCanceledException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Prompt canceled");
}
```
## Features
### Enum type support
```csharp
public enum MyEnum
{
[Display(Name = "First value")]
First,
[Display(Name = "Second value")]
Second,
[Display(Name = "Third value")]
Third
}
var value = Prompt.Select("Select enum value");
Console.WriteLine($"You selected {value}");
```
### Unicode support
```csharp
// Prefer UTF-8 as the output encoding
Console.OutputEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
var name = Prompt.Input("What's your name?");
Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {name}!");
```
### Fluent interface support
```csharp
using Sharprompt.Fluent;
