Feature: Promptable

[pboling]

I use Actors to run complex business logic, often from console or a rake task. I'd love to be able to integrate prompts without needing to think about how to integrate.

It would only be a few lines of code either way, but it seems like a helpful enough ability to provide it to everyone.

One downside is adding a new dependency to this gem. If that's too big an ask, then I can make a plugem called service_actor-promptable

Even though I really enjoy the tty-prompt library, I think it would make more sense to have this as an extra gem than to include the dependency for everybody.

Let me know if you hit any road bumps trying to integrate this tightly to the Actor gem. If that’s the case perhaps we can find ways to make the Actor gem more “pluggable”.

Actually the way it worked out it didn't end up as a dependency. Let me know what you think. If it still doesn't make sense I'll pull it into a separate repo and plugin gem.

Nice how you integrated that without requiring the gem!

However, I still think this should rather be a different gem. I’m afraid that it would specialize Actor a bit too much into CLI. I’d be happy to add a section about it in the README, though, and describe all the interesting plugins like service_actor-rails.

Already started on it. Thanks! ❤️
