Reading Console Input using Node.js


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

readline.question(`What's your name?`, (name) => {
  console.log(`Hi ${name}!`)
  readline.close()
})

Hope that helps!

: That's exactly what I have! However, it just displays the question and skips the input and the action after the input.

Weird, try requiring readline-sync instead. ex:


const readline = require("readline-sync");
var name = readline.question("What is your name? ");

Is this what you are looking for:


var rl = require('readline-sync');
rl.question("What do you think of node.js? ")
console.log("Thank you for your valuable feedback.");

I know it's an old thread, but maybe you can use :


let answerText = prompt("Your question goes here");
let answerBool = confirm("Yes/No question goes here);"

It works nice with Repl console.
