Api usage

Once you've imported readtastic into your project, you're ready to start working using readtastic!

Below is a simple example demonstrating the usage:

try {
    // Creates a new interface
    // It's similar to the Node's built-in readline module
    readtastic.parse_interface({
        input: process.stdin,
        output: process.stdout
    });

    // Prompt the user
    // Use await since it's an async function
    const phrase = await readtastic.prompt("What do you think of readtastic?\n");

    // Log out the a answer of the prompt.
    // In this case it's 'phrase'.
    console.log(`You said: ${phrase}`);

    // Simple thank you note at last.
    console.log(`Thank you for your valuable feedback!`);
} catch (error) {
    // Handling the error.
    console.error(error);
}
