API
Both methods returns a promise that is resolved when the end
event fires on the stdin
stream, indicating that there is no more data to be read.
getStdin()
Get stdin
as a string
.
In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty string
is returned.
getStdin.buffer()
Get stdin
as a Buffer
.
In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty Buffer
is returned.
Tip
You can now accomplish this natively in Node.js using streamConsumers.text()
or streamConsumers.buffer()
:
// example.js
import {text} from 'node:stream/consumers';
console.log(await text(stream))
//=> 'unicorns'
$ echo unicorns | node example.js
unicorns
