Can you post some code so I can reproduce your error?

its not a error, I want to know how to disable the "prompt" string that is printed by the module with the prompt name whenever you prompt.get()

looking at the source, you can probably override it with prompt.message = ''; https://github.com/flatiron/prompt/blob/master/lib/prompt.js#L47

I tried that, doesn't work

can you show some code?

it works just fine for me, e.g.:

const prompt = require('prompt');
prompt.message = '';
const { code } = await prompt.get({
  properties: {
    code: {
      type: 'string',
      required: true,
    },
  }
});

outputs:

Oh, how to remove the "code: " message

[Cyril Auburtin]

That doesn't sound like a good idea to remove any prefix, in terms of UX, but you could probably go with

const prompt=require('prompt');
prompt.message='';
prompt.delimiter='';
const data = await prompt.get(' '); // or prompt.get('\u200B'); because empty string seems to complain

just try out what works for you, I don't know much more about prompt than you, I just read the docs and the small source code to answer you
