stdout-line

Yet another function to log by overwriting previous output.

Differences:

• Single line enforced
• Trims or pads the line to fit the stdout width.
  • This ensures the next log (by other methods: console.log) automatically prints to (apparently) next line since the previous line had been fully padded.
• Small, no dependencies

Install

npm install stdout-line
