Add Comprehensive Node.js REPL Guide

The repository currently lacks detailed documentation about Node.js REPL usage and advanced features.

This enhancement will introduce a structured REPL section.


📘 Topics to Cover

1. Basic REPL Usage

  • Starting REPL (node)
  • Evaluating expressions
  • Variable persistence
  • Multiline input

2. Built-in REPL Commands

  • .help
  • .exit
  • .clear
  • .save
  • .load
  • .editor mode

3. REPL for Debugging

  • Testing small code snippets
  • Checking APIs quickly
  • Inspecting objects

4. Advanced REPL

  • Custom REPL creation using repl module
  • Injecting context variables
  • Creating interactive CLI tools

5. Production Use Cases

  • Quick JSON testing
  • Prototype logic before adding to codebase
  • Exploring libraries interactively

📌 Goal

Convert REPL from a “basic concept” into a powerful developer productivity tool section.
