## Usage
We recommend the use of TypeScript for best in class intellesense

```javascript
import { SmartInteract } from 'smartinteract'

let myInteract = new SmartInteract([{ // note: its an array. You can specify multiple questions
    name: 'question1',
    type: 'input',
    message: 'Who are you?',
    default: 'Somebody',
    validate: (inputString) => { return true } // implement your own validation
}])
SmartInteract.addQuestions([ ... ]) // add more questions
SmartInteract.runQueue()
    .then(answerBucket => { // the bucket has all the answers of the completed queue
        let answerQuestion1 = answerBucket.getAnswerFor('question1')
        // do something with the answers
    })

// alternatively use .askQuestion() for more direct control
SmartInteract.askQuestion{ // note: its an array. You can specify multiple questions
    name: 'question2',
    type: 'confirm',
    message: 'Do you speak English?',
    default: true,
    validate: (inputString) => { return true } // implement your own validation
}().then(answerObject => {
    // answerObject looks like { name: 'question2', value: true }
})
```

### Environment
In some environments like CI there is no user input to be expected.
smartinteract will always directyl create an answer from the default value
