def input(prompt)
  raw_input(prompt).strip
end

.int_input(prompt, err_msg = "Please enter a number.", repeat = true) ⇒ Integer

Takes an integer input from the user. If the user does not enter a valid integer value, display the error and ask them again, unless err_msg is nil, in which case it will not display any error message before asking again. If repeat is set to false, it will only ask once, exiting and returning nil if the first attempt fails.

Examples:

Ask the user to input their age

age = Nutella::int_input "Enter your age: "

def int_input(prompt, err_msg = "Please enter a number.", repeat = true)
  str = ""
  until str[/^-?\d+$/]
    str = input prompt
    puts err_msg unless str[/^-?\d+$/] || err_msg.nil?
    return unless repeat
  end
  str.to_i
end

.raw_input(prompt) ⇒ String

Prints the given prompt to STDOUT, then reads text from STDIN until the user presses Enter.

Examples:

Comparison of taking input with and without Nutella

# Pure Ruby
print "Enter your name: "
name = STDIN.gets.chomp

# Ruby with Nutella
name = Nutella::raw_input "Enter your name: "
