An example of how to achieve an interruptible readLine with ZIO

InterruptibleReadLineExample.scala

import zio.*
import scala.Console as SConsole
import scala.io.StdIn
import java.io.{BufferedReader, IOException}
import scala.util.Try

object InterruptibleReadLineExample extends ZIOAppDefault {

  def altReadLine(reader: BufferedReader = SConsole.in) = 
    ZIO
      .sleep(200.millis)
      .repeatUntil(_ => reader.ready()) *> (ZIO.fromTry(Try(StdIn.readLine()))).refineOrDie[IOException] {
        case e: IOException => e
      }



  override val run =
    for {
      _ <- Console.printLine("Going to the grocery store")
      input <- altReadLine().timeout(5.seconds)
      _ <- input match {
        case Some(value) => Console.printLine(s"You want to buy $value")
        case None        => Console.printLine("Timed out, no input provided.")
      }
    } yield ()
}
