Usage

Using without ES6 Modules

To use readline-sync and chalk, you need to require them in your JavaScript file:

const readlineSync = require("readline-sync");
const chalk = require("chalk");

After requiring them, you can use their functions in your code.

Here is an example of using readline-sync to get user input:

const name = readlineSync.question("What is your name? ");
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);

And here is an example of using chalk to style text:

console.log(chalk.red("This text is red."));
console.log(chalk.green.bold("This text is bold and green."));

Using with ES6 Modules

If you have selected "type: module" in your package.json file, you can use ES6 module syntax to import readline-sync and chalk in your code.

Here is an example of importing readline-sync and chalk as ES6 modules:

import readlineSync from "readline-sync";
import chalk from "chalk";

const name = readlineSync.question("What is your name? ");
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);

console.log(chalk.red("This text is red."));
console.log(chalk.green.bold("This text is bold and green."));

For more information on using ES6 modules, please refer to the Node.js documentation page on ES modules. ES6 modules documentation page.

These are just a few examples of how you can use readline-sync and chalk in your code. For more information and examples, please refer to their respective documentation pages.
