Module: Gem::UserInteraction
Overview
UserInteraction allows RubyGems to interact with the user through standard methods that can be replaced with more-specific UI methods for different displays.
Since UserInteraction dispatches to a concrete UI class you may need to reference other classes for specific behavior such as ConsoleUI or SilentUI.
Example:
class X
include Gem::UserInteraction
def get_answer
n = ask("What is the meaning of life?")
end
end
