Although similar questions have already appeared, following theirs instructions I obtain an error. So my code is as follows
var readline = require('readline').createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout
});
var name;
readline.question(`What's your name?`, (name))
readline.close()
and as a result I have
{ RequestError: Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error
at StreamEvents.req.once.err
Do you know what is wrong? I'm using npm readline package
According to the documentation, the second argument should be a callback function. What you currently have is an uninitialized variable. To fix it, you could do something like this:
const readline = require('readline').createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout
});
const response = function (name) {
console.log('Hello ' + name);
};
readline.question(`What's your name?`, response(name));
readline.close();
(I'm using const instead of var to adhere to ES6 standards for JavaScript/Node)
