const prompt = require("prompt");

// Start the prompt
prompt.start();

// Get user input
prompt.get(["name", "age"], function (err, result) {
  if (err) {
    return console.error(err);
  }
  console.log("Your name is: " + result.name);
  console.log("Your age is: " + result.age);
});

In this example, the prompt.get() method is used to read user input for name and age properties. The function (err, result) is a callback function that is called when the input is received or if an error occurs. If there is no error, the input values are logged to the console.
