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
