start emitting keypress
events corresponding to the provided input.
readline.emitKeypressEvents(stream[, interface])
stream
<stream.Readable>
: The Readable stream
from which the keypress
event will be emitted.interface
<readline.Interface>
: (optional) Specifies the interface for which autocompletion is turned off.const readline = require('readline'); console.log("Press any key") readline.emitKeypressEvents(process.stdin); if (process.stdin.isTTY) process.stdin.setRawMode(true); process.stdin.on('keypress', (str, key) => { if(key.ctrl == true && key.name == 'c'){ process.exit() } console.log(str) console.log(key) })
The code above demonstrates basic use of Readline.emitKeyPressEvents()
.
The code prints out the pressed key and its attributes to the standard output. To quit the program, press ctrl + c.
Note: If the stream is TTY, then it should be set to RAW mode.
