read(1) for node programs

Package Exports

  • read

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (read) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

read

For reading user input from stdin.

Similar to the readline builtin's question() method, but with a few more features.

USAGE

var read = require("read")
read(options, callback)

The callback gets called with either the user input, or the default specified, or an error, as callback(error, result, isDefault) node style.

OPTIONS

Every option is optional.

  • prompt What to write to stdout before reading input.
  • silent Don't echo the output as the user types it.
  • timeout Number of ms to wait for user input before giving up.
  • default The default value if the user enters nothing.
  • edit Allow the user to edit the default value.
  • terminal Treat the output as a TTY, whether it is or not.
  • stdin Readable stream to get input data from. (default process.stdin)
  • stdout Writeable stream to write prompts to. (default: process.stdout)

If silent is true, and the input is a TTY, then read will set raw mode, and read character by character.
