Instance Method Details

#await(yes: 'Enter', no: 'Esc') ⇒ true, ... #await(yes: 'Enter', no: 'Esc') {|temp| ... } ⇒ true, ...

Wait for user input.

Examples:

Wait until user wants to coninue

ui.await { ui.puts '[faint][\\Press ENTER to continue...][/faint]' }

Ask yes/no-question

ui.await(yes: %w[j o t s y d Enter], no: %w[n Esc]) do
  ui.puts 'Do you like NayttUI?'
end
# => true, for user's YES
# => false, for user's NO
# Info:
# The keys will work for Afrikaans, Dutch, English, French, German,
# Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish and Swedish.

Overloads:

  • #await(yes: 'Enter', no: 'Esc') {|temp| ... } ⇒ true, ...

    Yield Parameters:

    • temp (Temporary) —

      temporary displayed section (section will be erased after input)

Parameters:

  • yes (String, Enumerable<String>) (defaults to: 'Enter') —

    key code/s a user can input to return positive result

  • no (String, Enumerable<String>) (defaults to: 'Esc') —

    key code/s a user can input to return negative resault

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    whether the user inputs a positive result

  • (nil) —

    in error case
