repl-history

This package allows you to easily include history into your custom REPL. By default it will create a .repl_history file in it's directory and keep the most recent 200 lines. You can adjust those settings by passing appropriate options.

Quickstart

Install: npm i repl-history

``javascript
const repl = require('repl').start()
require('repl-history')(repl)
`

Options

filePath (string*, [repl-history dir]/.repl_history): Specify an alternative file. Must be a fully-qualified path.
useHome (boolean*, false): Use the user's default history file ~/.node_repl_history. This option supercedes filePath.
maxSave (number*, 200): The maximum number of lines to save. Set to 0 to save all lines.

$3

`javascript
// specify a different file name
const path = require("path")
const repl = require('repl').start()
require('repl-history')(repl, {filePath: path.join(__dirname, "commands")})
`

`javascript
// use the home history file, keep 600 lines
const repl = require('repl').start()
require('repl-history')(repl, {useHome: true, maxSave: 600})
