How to receive simple one-line user input with nodeJS?

Question

I want to run a nodeJS application with my own very simple console, so my question is how can I achieve it in a straightforward way (typical of any programming language).

I've seen articles like How To Read User Input With NodeJS but I am not sure if there is a simple way already included.

I found that the best approach to do it, changing the original requirment, is to open a line oriented socket/stream using github.com/jonseymour/node-lines-adapter and to use the console connect via telnet. — sw.

It looks unfinished, but it appears NodeJS does have a simpler way with its Readline library in version 5.3.

Other than that, I think the article you linked to covers the basics pretty well.
