Getting values from Deno stdin

Question

How can we get values from standard input in Deno?

I don\'t know how to use Deno.stdin.

An example would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I have a solution 100% pure Deno, but not intensively tested

async function ask(question: string = '', stdin = Deno.stdin, stdout = Deno.stdout) {
  const buf = new Uint8Array(1024);

  // Write question to console
  await stdout.write(new TextEncoder().encode(question));

  // Read console's input into answer
  const n = await stdin.read(buf);
  const answer = new TextDecoder().decode(buf.subarray(0, n));

  return answer.trim();
}

const answer = await ask(`Tell me your name? `);
console.log(`Your name is ${answer}`);
