Console Application Overview

In this article we are going to create a console application in NODE JS.

Prompt the user to enter following fields data

Enter Your Name
Enter Your Age
Enter Your Email ID
Enter Your Mobile No.

Rules, Logic and Condition in Entry

If Age is less than < 18 it will return and display the message:

"Minimum required 18 years and you age is 16 , You should wait at least 2 year(s) more."

If Age is greater than > 18 it will return and display the message:

“Great <UserName>   you can signin.”

“User Name : <UserName>”

“Age        : <UserAge> “

“Email ID   : <UserEmailID>”

“Mobile     : <UserMobile>”

NodeJS to run javascript code on server side.

Console Application Code

var rl = require("readline");
var prompts = rl.createInterface(process.stdin, process.stdout);
prompts.question("Enter Your Name? ", function(username) {
prompts.question("Enter Your Age ? ", function(userage) {
prompts.question("Enter Your Email ID? ", function(emailid) {
prompts.question("Enter Your Mobile No.? ", function(mobile) {
var message = "";
if (userage > 18) {
message = "\n\n Great! " + username + "\n\n You can signin." + "\n\n User Name : " + username + "\n\n Age : " + userage + "\n\n Email ID : " + emailid + "\n\n Mobile : " + mobile;
} else {
message = "Minimum required 18 years and you age is " + userage + " , You should wait at least " + (18 - userage) + " year(s) more.";
}
console.log(message);
process.exit();
});
});
});
});
