Simple Inputs

Features

This is a basic .NET 5.0 Library for simple console inputs of all values, its basically a TryParse under the hood, handling all the tedius stuff for you!

This library brings a mix of how Python and Java handle inputs for non-string values. As of right now it only works with the console!

Why bother with making this?

I'm always making console apps so this is a must for me! Its must easier than constantly making TryParse statements, or even setting up a new method system for each project!

Installation

You can find the NuGet Package here.

You can also build from source by running dotnet build, and then including the DLL as a reference in your project.

Most IDEs allow you to: Right click csproj -> dependencies/references -> add reference

Or alternatively they have: Dependencies -> add dependency/reference -> locate reference by file location

    var input = Input.NextUShort(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    
    // OR
    var input = Input.Next<decimal>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    var input = Input.Next<double>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    var input = Input.Next<float>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    var input = Input.Next<int>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    var input = Input.Next<long>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    var input = Input.Next<sbyte>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    var input = Input.Next<short>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    var input = Input.Next<uint>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    var input = Input.Next<ulong>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
    var input = Input.Next<ushort>(output: "Enter Value", warning: "Wrong value!");
}

Do I plan on adding anything else?
