New to Javascript and I'm wondering how to get user input without using HTML but vscode only.

Any easy way of saving user input in a variable? something like:

var name = input("What is your name?");

var name = prompt("What is your name?");

I don't want to use an HTML form but just vscode console.

Thank you!

I think what you mean is basically running the script in the console.

Visual Studio Code has very little to do with this - though it does offer a terminal window(docs) for your convenience, I personally always use the linux terminal(docs). But that's up to you.

So, to run javascript on the machine rather than the browser you need to install node.

• step 1: install node here are the docs for that.

Now all you need to do is write your script and then run it.

• step 2: write script

let name = prompt("what is your name");

prompt() (docs)would get you the name prompt and store the input as the script is running in the terminal. so write your script let's say something like:

nameProgram.js;

console.log("Wele to this awesome software that can tell you your own name!");
let name = prompt("What is your name?");
console.log(`Your name is ${name}! see how cool!`);

• step 3: run program

open the terminal whichever way you prefer, go to the directory of the script and type in the following mand: node nameProgram.js

That's it, your script will run.
