Something like a version of https://github.com/antirez/linenoise/ in node

Goals:

• [x] Basic prompt motions (left, right, backspace, delete)
• [ ] Terminal resize support
• [ ] Token-based readline alternative, including whitespace/quoting support
• [ ] Full-featured tab completion system
  • [ ] Token-based options including whitespace/quoting
  • [ ] Free-form completer allowing complete text replacement
• [ ] Token-based tab completion system
• [ ] History support
• [ ] Unicode support
• [ ] Application testing utilities
• [ ] Minimal dependencies
• [ ] Useful documentation
• [x] Strongly typed implementation
• [x] Learn some stuff about 1970s technology and how to implement it in 2010s technology

Usage:

The default usage is intended to be similar to the nodejs built in readline module. A sample program can be found in bin/examle.ts.

NOTE: The library does not yet support tokens, so we're stuck with lines of text for now.

The basic gist is:

function completer(line: string, addCompletion: CompleterCallback): void {
	const options = [
		'optiona',
		'optionb',
	];
	const matching = options.filter(option => {
		return option.startsWith(line);
	});
	addCompletion(...matching);
}

function handler(line: string) {
	console.log('Line was:', line);
}

const noise = new Noise({
	completer: completer,
	lineHandler: handler,
});

noise.run();
