Create init script to start the CLI application:

cliApp.js

cli.init = function () {
  /* Send the start message to the console in dark blue. */
  console.log(‘\x1b[33m % s\x1b[0m’, ‘CLI is running’);

  /* Start the interface */
  var _interface = readline.createInterface({
    input: process.stdin,
    output: process.stdout,
    prompt: ‘>’
 })

/* Create an initial prompt */
_interface.prompt(); // Will wait for input  /* Handle each line of input separately. */
_interface.on(‘line’, function (str) {  /* Send to input processor. */
  cli.processInput(str);  /* re-initialize the prompt afterwards. */
  _interface.prompt();
});
}
