repl-promise
Advanced tools
A REPL for determinisic processing of input for scripts that use promises.
This REPL implementation is modeled after Node's repl, but unlike several other NPM packages that have been published (see below) which enhance Node's repl in various ways, this implementation is a rewrite from scratch. It was implemented for three reasons:
This implementation does not use readline and does not provide any of the niceties that one usually expects in a console application for command history, command completion, etc.
See problem #1 above. I'm still searching for a reasonable workaround.
In the meantime, I want to be able to use REPL sessions with input and output to/from file streams in unit tests. I want the output to be appear to be a transcript of a REPL session, so that unit tests result in useful examples.
I've experimented with the following npm packages, none of which currently meet my needs.
