readline2 
Node.js (v0.8 and v0.10) had some bugs and issues with the default Readline module.
This module include fixes seen in later version (0.11-0.12 and iojs) and ease some undesirable behavior one could see using the readline to create interatives prompts. This means readline2 change some behaviors and as so is not meant to be an exact drop-in replacement.
This project is extracted from the core of Inquirer.js interactive prompt interface to be available as a standalone module.
Documentation
Installation: npm install --save readline2
readline2.createInterface(options); -> {Interface}
Present the same API as Node.js readline.createInterface()
Improvements
- Default
options.input as process.stdin
- Default
options.output as process.stdout
interface.stdout is wrapped in a MuteStream
- Prevent
up and down keys from moving through history inside the readline
- Fix cursor position after a line refresh when the
Interface prompt contains ANSI colors
- Correctly return the cursor position when faced with implicit line returns
