readlin v1.0.3

We all know that reading lines in node is messy. That's exactly why I've come up with this solution

Here, we can convert this

const readline = require('readline')

const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout
})

rl.question('What is your name? ', name => {
  console.log('Your name is', name)
  rl.close()
})

To something like this

const readLine = require('readlin')

readLine('What is your name? ')
  .then(name => console.log('Your name is', name))

Or this

const readLine = require('readlin')

async function Main() {
  const name = await readLine('What is your name? ')
  console.log('Your name is', name)
}

Main()

Here, we can also pass a default value, that means if we dont pass anything in the input we will get the default value as the result.

readLine('What is your name? ', 'Ethan')
  .then(name => console.log('Your name is', name))
