How can I use node ssh2 to start a user interactive ssh session?

I ended up solving the issue. It's very strange that any issue arose as (when checking the source for ssh2) it appears that is set up to do exactly what I thought it should. In any case, this code worked for me:

const {host, password, port, username} = sshCreds;
return new Promise((resolve) => {
    var conn = new Client();
    conn.on('ready', function() {
        console.log('Client :: ready');
        conn.shell(function(err, stream) {
            if (err) throw err;

            const stdinListener = (data) => {
                skipNext = true;
                stream.stdin.write(data);
            };

            stream.on('close', function() {
                process.stdin.removeListener("data", stdinListener)
                conn.end();
                resolve();
            }).stderr.on('data', function(data) {
                resolve();
            });

            // skip next stops double printing of input
            let skipNext = false;
            stream.stdout.on("data", (data) => {
                if (skipNext) { return skipNext = false; }
                process.stdout.write(data);
            })

            process.stdin.on("data", stdinListener)
        });
    }).connect({
        host,
        port,
        username,
        password,
    });
})
