How can I make the readline prompt appear on a new line in Node.js?

Below is one way to achieve it. Instead of using rl.question with a prompt that displays on the same line, you can first print the question using console.log, and then prompt for input on a new (empty) prompt. For example:

JAVASCRIPTCopied
const readline = require('readline');

async function isAgreed() {
  const rl = readline.createInterface({
    input: process.stdin,
    output: process.stdout
  });

  // Print the question on its own line
  console.log('Do you agree to execute ?');

  // Use rl.question with an empty prompt so the cursor appears on a new line
  const response = await new Promise(resolve => {
    rl.question('', answer => {
      rl.close();
      resolve(answer);
    });
  });

  const options = ['yes', 'y', 'YES', 'Y'];
  return options.includes(response.trim());
}

// Example usage:
isAgreed().then(agreed => {
  console.log(`Agreed: ${agreed}`);
});

Explanation

1. Print the question separately:
   By calling console.log('Do you agree to execute ?');, you print the question and add a newline so that the cursor moves to the next line.

2. Prompt with an empty string:
   Using rl.question('') provides an empty prompt string, which means the user will start typing their input on the new line immediately.

3. Promise wrapper:
   The input is wrapped in a promise so that you can use await and handle the response asynchronously.

This approach meets your requirement: the question is printed, and the cursor moves to the next line for input.
