===================================

Run Node.js REPL in Emacs

Description

-----------

This program is derived from comint-mode and provides the following features.

* Token completion, same as Node.js REPL

* File name completion in string

* Incremental history search

* Sending JavaScript code to REPL

Usage

-----

Put this file in your Emacs Lisp path (e.g. ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp)

and add the following line to your .emacs:

```elisp

(require 'nodejs-repl)

```

Type `M-x nodejs-repl` to run Node.js REPL.

See also `comint-mode` to check key bindings.

You can define key bindings to send JavaScript code to REPL as follows:

```elisp

(add-hook 'js-mode-hook #'nodejs-repl-minor-mode)

```

When a version manager such as nvm is used to run different versions

of Node.js, it is often desirable to start the REPL of the version

specified in the .nvmrc file per project.  In such case, customize the

`nodejs-repl-command` variable with a function symbol.  That function

should query nvm for the Node.js command to run.  For example:

```elisp

(require 'nodejs-repl)

(defun nvm-which ()

  (let* ((shell (concat (getenv "SHELL") " -l -c 'nvm which'"))

         (output (shell-command-to-string shell)))

    (cadr (split-string output "[\n]+" t))))

(setq nodejs-repl-command #'nvm-which)

```

The `nvm-which` function can be simpler, and perhaps can run faster,

too, if using Bash:

```elisp

(defun nvm-which ()

  (let ((output (shell-command-to-string "source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh; nvm which")))

    (cadr (split-string output "[\n]+" t))))

```
