cursive/examples/src/bin/user_data.rs

//! This example shows the usage of user data.
//!
//! This lets you attach data to the main `Cursive` root, which can simplify
//! communication in simple applications.
//!
//! `Cursive::set_user_data` is used to store or update the user data, while
//! `Cursive::user_data` and `Cursive::with_user_data` can access it, if they
//! know the exact type.
