How do I call the stdin.on ("data", [callback]) event in code?
Consider the following example
process.stdin.resume();
process.stdin.on("data", function(data) {
console.log("recieved " + data)
})
process.stdin.write("foo\n")
process.stdin.write("bar\n")
When I type something
in the terminal, I get
received something
Why doesn't it work the same for foo
and bar
that I posted earlier using stdin.write
?
eg. how can i call this event ( stdin.on("data)
) in code? I expected to process.stdin.write
do this, but I only get the same result.

It is a readable stream that receives its input from a file descriptor stdin
. I don't think you can write to this descriptor (but you can connect it to another writeable descriptor).
However, the simplest solution in your case is to just simulate events 'data'
. Each thread is an EventEmiiter, so the following will be done:
process.stdin.resume();
process.stdin.on("data", function(data)
console.log("recieved " + data)
});
process.stdin.emit('data', 'abc');
