Just get your readline interface:

import { createInterface } from 'readline';
import { getReadlineIterable } from 'faster-readline-iterator';

const interfaceInstance = createInterface({
    input: getLoremIpsumStream(),
});

Then get your iterable from it using getReadlineIterable:

const iterable = getReadlineIterable(interfaceInstance);

for await (const line of iterable) {
    console.log(line);
}
