Dialoguer is a Rust library for building interactive command line prompts, such as confirmations, input fields, password prompts, and selection menus. It is part of the console-rs family of terminal UI libraries alongside console and indicatif.

Use cases

• ask users yes/no confirmation questions in a CLI
• prompt for text or password input on the command line
• build interactive selection menus and multi-select lists in Rust
• create pickers for choosing items from a list in a terminal app
• add interactive setup wizards to a Rust command line tool

When to choose

• you are writing a Rust CLI that needs interactive user input
• you want polished terminal prompts with minimal effort
• you already use console or indicatif and want a matching prompting library

When to avoid

• you need full TUI layouts or complex terminal interfaces (use crossterm or ratatui instead)
• your tool must run non-interactively without a TTY
• you are not working in Rust
