## 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
}])
myInteract.addQuestions([ ... ]) // add more questions
myInteract.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
myInteract.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
