Simple, small, easy and zero dependency input function similar to the one in Python.
I wanted a simple way to accept user input from terminal, especially one closer to python or a library without much dependencies.
and also learn how to build a library I could use when needed.
Install pynput with npm (or any package manager)
npm i pynput
import { input } from "pynput"
const name = await input("Name: ") // joe
console.log(name) // -> joe
// converting an int/float
import { input } from "pynput"
const age = await input("Age: ", {convert: "int"}) // 10
console.log(10) // -> 10
Contributions and pull requests are always welcome!
Inspired by Python's input built-in function.
