RunKit +

Try any Node.js package right in your browser

This is a playground to test code. It runs a full Node.js environment and already has all of npm’s 1,000,000+ packages pre-installed, including read-file with all npm packages installed. Try it out:

var readFile = require("read-file")

all documents on RunKit are public
require() any package directly from npm
use arrow functions, classes, template strings, and most of ES6
await any promise instead of using callbacks (example)
create your own embedded node.js snippets

This service is provided by RunKit and is not affiliated with npm, Inc or the package authors.

read-file v0.2.0

Thin wrapper around fs.readFile and fs.readFileSync that also strips byte order marks when `utf8` encoding is chosen. Also optionally replaces windows newlines with unix newlines.
