Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

get-stdin-with-tty

NPM version Build Status

Get stdin as a string or buffer

Install

$ npm install get-stdin-with-tty

Usage

// example.js
const getStdin = require('get-stdin-with-tty');

(async () => {
	console.log(await getStdin());
})();
$ echo unicorns | node example.js
unicorns

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(options) ← Promise<String>

Get stdin as a string.

In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty string is returned, unless options.tty or getStdin.tty is true.

getStdin.buffer() ← Promise<Buffer>

Get stdin as a Buffer.

In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty Buffer is returned.

Options / Settings

  • tty | getStdin.tty (Boolean) - Set global TTY handling. When true, accepts input from TTY until a new line beginning with Ctrl-d or Ctrl-z is entered. Double Ctrl-d anywhere in the line also ends the stream. (Default = true)

    When enabled for the example above:

    $ node example.js
    foobar
    barfoo
    ^d
    // =>
    foobar
    barfoo
  • EOF | getStdin.EOF (String) - The end-of-file (aka EOT) character to use to signal end of stream. Defaults to Ctrl-d on *nix and cygwin, and Ctrl-z on Windows. Acceptable values:

    • getStdin.CTRL_D - Ctrl-d (ASCII 04)
    • getStdin.CTRL_Z - Ctrl-z (ASCII 26)
    • '*' - Use both Ctrl-d and Ctrl-z
    (win) c:\> node example.js
    foobar
    ^z
    # => foobar
    $ node example.js
    foobar^d^d
    # => foobar

Moos Fork

The moos fork includes support for reading stdin from TTY by default.

Change log

  • 6.0.0 - tty option is now defaulted to true. Double Ctrl-d in middle of line also ends stream.
