stdin-discarder is a lightweight npm package designed to consume and discard any data sent to the standard input (stdin) stream. This is useful for preventing processes from hanging while waiting for input when running in automated environments or scenarios where user interaction is not expected. It effectively mutes stdin, ensuring that unresponsive programs continue execution without interruption from lingering input streams. Easy to implement and highly effective for cleaning up potentially problematic input behaviors.
