Prompt for a single character
import askcharacter from 'askcharacter';
console.log('Please enter a character:');
const char = await askcharacter(process.stdin);
console.log('You entered the following askcharacter:', char.toString());
The stream passed to askcharacter
can be any kind of Readable
stream.
If it is a TTY, askcharacter
will temporarily remove all other 'data'
and
'readable'
listeners from it, and set the TTY into raw mode if it has not
been in raw mode to begin with.
Why not use read
instead?
Because read
does not work inside a Node.js REPL.
