[node.js] Reading value from console, interactively

My approach to this would be to use async generators.

Assuming you have an array of questions:

 const questions = [
        "How are you today ?",
        "What are you working on ?",
        "What do you think of async generators ?",
    ]

In order to use the await keyword, you must wrap your program into an async IIFE.

(async () => {

    questions[Symbol.asyncIterator] = async function * () {
        const stdin = process.openStdin()

        for (const q of this) {
            // The promise won't be solved until you type something
            const res = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
                console.log(q)

                stdin.addListener('data', data => {
                    resolve(data.toString())
                    reject('err')
                });
            })

            yield [q, res];
        }

    };

    for await (const res of questions) {
        console.log(res)
    }

    process.exit(0)
})();

Expected results:

How are you today ?
good
[ 'How are you today ?', 'good\n' ]
What are you working on ?
:)
[ 'What are you working on ?', ':)\n' ]
What do you think about async generators ?
awesome
[ 'What do you think about async generators ?', 'awesome\n' ]

If you want to get questions an answers altogether, you can achieve this with a simple modification:

const questionsAndAnswers = [];

    for await (const res of questions) {
        // console.log(res)
        questionsAndAnswers.push(res)
    }

    console.log(questionsAndAnswers)

   /*
     [ [ 'How are you today ?', 'good\n' ],
     [ 'What are you working on ?', ':)\n' ],
     [ 'What do you think about async generators ?', 'awesome\n' ] ]
   */
