asker's Issues

Write makefile

Write a makefile that checks for the language standard installed (asker works with C++11 and later standards), and accordingly compiles the example files, also include makefile rule to add asker to any project.

Add tests for all the functions

Documentation

Write proper documentation for all the methods provided by asker with 1-2 examples.

Add editor mode ( allow users to take input from some text editor )

As of now user can take input from stdin but taking long answers as input may make the terminal cluttered.

• Make a new function asker::Editor(msg std::string,editor std::string)
• Using this will open up specified text editor for input and after user is done entering answer in text editor it reads input from the file
• default value of editor will be nano and if provided editor does not exists then fall back to default value of editor

optional

• Add platform support, if platform is linux / darwin(macos) set default value of editor to nano and if windows then default value to notepad

feel free to share your approach before working on it.
