readline2 [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/SBoudrias/readline2.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/SBoudrias/readline2)
=========

Node.js (v0.8 and v0.10) had some bugs and issues with the default [Readline](http://nodejs.org/api/readline.html) 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](https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js) 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()`](http://nodejs.org/api/readline.html)

#### Improvements
- Default `options.input` as `process.stdin`
- Default `options.output` as `process.stdout`
- `interface.stdout` is wrapped in a [MuteStream](https://github.com/isaacs/mute-stream)
- 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
