repl.history
Persist a node repl's history to a file (now working with node v16+).
from node
install: npm install repl.history
const os = require('os');
const path = require('path');
const historyFile = path.join(os.homedir(), '.node_history');
const repl = require('repl').start('> ');
require('repl.history')(repl, historyFile);this will drop a .node_history file in your home directory.
from the command line
install: npm install -g @andfaulkner/repl.history
run repl.history on the command line
A file ~/.node_history will be created.
I like to alias it to nr for node repl. To do this, add the following to your ~/.bashrc file:
alias nr="repl.history"
