How to create user input in the JavaScript console?

I'm creating a short game in the JavaScript console, and for inspiration, I looked at google's easter egg version (if you search text adventure then press f12 you can see it). I wanted input, the only way I could figure out how to have input was by having functions:

console.log('Do you like chocolate ice cream?');

function yes() {
    console.log('I don\'t like chocolate ice cream.');
}

function no() {
    console.log('Yeah, I agree. Who even likes chocolate ice cream anyways?');
}

But in google's version, you can just type yes, and it returns a bunch of text, no parentheses. I tried with variables but it didn't really look nice and it turned out green. Does anybody know how to make it google's way?

Solution

  • You can't really do that. The closest you can get is

    var input = prompt("What is your name?");
console.log("Hello, " + input + "!");
