Ask a question on the command line, get the answer in a promise.

npm install --save just-ask

Ask a question (chars shown on screen as user types):

const ask = require('just-ask')
ask('Would you like to get a promise?').then((answer) => {
  console.log(`Your answer: ${answer}`)
})

Ask for a password (chars replaced by set char as user types):

const ask = require('just-ask')
ask('What is your password?', '*').then((answer) => {
  console.log(`Your password: ${answer}`)
})

Note that you can use any char you want, or even an empty space:

ask('What is your password?', ' ')

I wanted a dead simple and super lightweight module to get data from the user on the command line which works with promises. This is it.
