How do I run a JavaScript script from the console?

To enter JavaScript statements and expressions interactively in the Console: Right-click in a webpage and then select Inspect. DevTools opens. Or, press Ctrl + Shift + J (Windows, Linux) or Command + Option + J (macOS), to directly open the DevTools console.

Can JS read from console?

However, what is not understandable is using JavaScript which runs only the browser, to get input from a systems command line. Doing this is possible using NodeJS. It will require us to use the readline() package. With this package, we can then accept user input and even output it to the console.

If it's inside a closure, i'm pretty sure you can't.

Otherwise you just do functionName(); and hit return.
