Golang : Read input from console line

Ok, this is another tutorial on how to read input from console in Golang. It uses the bufio.NewReader() function and accept input from standard input via os.Stdin. Simple and straight forward example below:

 package main

 import (
 "bufio"
 "fmt"
 "os"
 )

 func main() {
 consolereader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
 fmt.Print("Enter your name : ")

 input, err := consolereader.ReadString('\n') // this will prompt the user for input

 if err != nil {
 fmt.Println(err)
 os.Exit(1)
 }

 fmt.Println(input)
 }

Output :

Enter your name : BooBooBoy
