So this is my code so far:
let name = input.question("Please Provide a Name: ");
if (name === "Casper" || name === "casper"){
console.log("Access Granted");
function printMessage(){
console.log(.);
}
setTimeout(printMessage, 1000);
} else {
console.log("Access Denied");
}
What I want to do is print "..." after Access is Granted, but with each "." printing after a delay, and of course on the same line.
Thanks in advance to any help I get!
You can use setInterval() instead
let
counter = 0,
elipsisInterval = setInterval(() => {
counter++;
console.log(`Access Granted${".".repeat(counter)}`);
if (counter === 3) {
counter=0;
}
}, 1000).as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }This will print
Access Granted.
Access Granted..
Access Granted...
Access Granted.
Access Granted..
Access Granted...
Each second Because console.log() defaults to end on a line break Apparently if you're on NodeJS (so not on the frontend) you can use
process.stdout.write("Access Granted")
process.stdout.write(".")
and it will stay on the same line
