# stdin-discarder
|

|
> Discard stdin input except for Ctrl+C
|
|
|
|
This can be useful to prevent stdin input from interfering with stdout output. For example, you are showing a spinner, and if the user presses a key, it would interfere with the spinner, causing visual glitches. This package prevents such problems.
|
|
|
|
This has no effect on Windows as there is no good way to implement discarding stdin properly there.
|
|
|
|
This package is used by [`ora`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ora) for its [`discardStdin`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ora#discardstdin) option.
