Get stdin as a string or buffer
// example.js import getStdin from 'get-stdin'; console.log(await getStdin()); //=> 'unicorns'
$ echo unicorns | node example.js
unicorns
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.
Get stdin as a string.
In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty string is returned.
Get stdin as a Buffer.
In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty Buffer is returned.
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
