# get-stdin
> Get [stdin](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_stdin) as a string or buffer
## Install
```
$ npm install get-stdin
```
## Usage
```js
// example.js
import getStdin from 'get-stdin';
console.log(await getStdin());
//=> 'unicorns'
```
```
$ echo unicorns | node example.js
unicorns
```
## API
Both methods returns a promise that is resolved when the `end` event fires on the `stdin` stream, indicating that there is no more data to be read.
### getStdin()
Get `stdin` as a `string`.
In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty `string` is returned.
### getStdin.buffer()
Get `stdin` as a `Buffer`.
In a TTY context, a promise that resolves to an empty `Buffer` is returned.
