captureRejections

errorMonitor
▪ Static
Readonly
errorMonitor: typeof errorMonitor
This symbol shall be used to install a listener for only monitoring 'error'
events. Listeners installed using this symbol are called before the regular 'error'
listeners are called.
Installing a listener using this symbol does not change the behavior once an 'error'
event is emitted, therefore the process will still crash if no regular 'error'
listener is installed.

setMaxListeners
▸ setMaxListeners(n
): WebSocket
By default EventEmitter
s will print a warning if more than 10
listeners are added for a particular event. This is a useful default that helps finding memory leaks. The emitter.setMaxListeners()
method allows the limit to be modified for this specific EventEmitter
instance. The value can be set toInfinity
(or 0
) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners.
Returns a reference to the EventEmitter
, so that calls can be chained.
Since
v0.3.5
Parameters
Name | Type |
---|---|
n | number |
Returns
Inherited from
TypedEmitter.setMaxListeners
Defined in
node_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:520
getEventListeners
▸ Static
getEventListeners(emitter
, name
): Function
[]
Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName
.
For EventEmitter
s this behaves exactly the same as calling .listeners
on the emitter.
For EventTarget
s this is the only way to get the event listeners for the event target. This is useful for debugging and diagnostic purposes.
const { getEventListeners, EventEmitter } = require('events');
{
const ee = new EventEmitter();
const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun');
ee.on('foo', listener);
getEventListeners(ee, 'foo'); // [listener]
}
{
const et = new EventTarget();
const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun');
et.addEventListener('foo', listener);
getEventListeners(et, 'foo'); // [listener]
}
Since
v15.2.0, v14.17.0
Parameters
Name | Type |
---|---|
emitter | EventEmitter | _DOMEventTarget |
name | string | symbol |
Returns
Function
[]
Inherited from
TypedEmitter.getEventListeners
Defined in
node_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:299
listenerCount
▸ Static
listenerCount(emitter
, eventName
): number
A class method that returns the number of listeners for the given eventName
registered on the given emitter
.
const { EventEmitter, listenerCount } = require('events');
const myEmitter = new EventEmitter();
myEmitter.on('event', () => {});
myEmitter.on('event', () => {});
console.log(listenerCount(myEmitter, 'event'));
// Prints: 2
Since
v0.9.12
Deprecated
Since v3.2.0 - Use listenerCount
instead.
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
emitter | EventEmitter | The emitter to query |
eventName | string | symbol | The event name |
Returns
number

on
▸ Static
on(emitter
, eventName
, options?
): AsyncIterableIterator
<any
>
const { on, EventEmitter } = require('events');
(async () => {
const ee = new EventEmitter();
// Emit later on
process.nextTick(() => {
ee.emit('foo', 'bar');
ee.emit('foo', 42);
});
for await (const event of on(ee, 'foo')) {
// The execution of this inner block is synchronous and it
// processes one event at a time (even with await). Do not use
// if concurrent execution is required.
console.log(event); // prints ['bar'] [42]
}
// Unreachable here
})();
Returns an AsyncIterator
that iterates eventName
events. It will throw if the EventEmitter
emits 'error'
. It removes all listeners when exiting the loop. The value
returned by each iteration is an array composed of the emitted event arguments.
An AbortSignal
can be used to cancel waiting on events:
const { on, EventEmitter } = require('events');
const ac = new AbortController();
(async () => {
const ee = new EventEmitter();
// Emit later on
process.nextTick(() => {
ee.emit('foo', 'bar');
ee.emit('foo', 42);
});
for await (const event of on(ee, 'foo', { signal: ac.signal })) {
// The execution of this inner block is synchronous and it
// processes one event at a time (even with await). Do not use
// if concurrent execution is required.
console.log(event); // prints ['bar'] [42]
}
// Unreachable here
})();
process.nextTick(() => ac.abort());

v13.6.0, v12.16.0
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
emitter | EventEmitter | - |
eventName | string | The name of the event being listened for |
options? | StaticEventEmitterOptions | - |
Returns
AsyncIterableIterator

events emitted by the emitter

once
▸ Static
once(emitter
, eventName
, options?
): Promise
<any
[]>
Creates a Promise
that is fulfilled when the EventEmitter
emits the given event or that is rejected if the EventEmitter
emits 'error'
while waiting. The Promise
will resolve with an array of all the arguments emitted to the given event.
This method is intentionally generic and works with the web platform EventTarget interface, which has no special'error'
event semantics and does not listen to the 'error'
event.
const { once, EventEmitter } = require('events');
async function run() {
const ee = new EventEmitter();
process.nextTick(() => {
ee.emit('myevent', 42);
});
const [value] = await once(ee, 'myevent');
console.log(value);
const err = new Error('kaboom');
process.nextTick(() => {
ee.emit('error', err);
});
try {
await once(ee, 'myevent');
} catch (err) {
console.log('error happened', err);
}
}
run();
The special handling of the 'error'
event is only used when events.once()
is used to wait for another event. If events.once()
is used to wait for the 'error'
event itself, then it is treated as any other kind of event without special handling:
const { EventEmitter, once } = require('events');
const ee = new EventEmitter();
once(ee, 'error')
.then(([err]) => console.log('ok', err.message))
.catch((err) => console.log('error', err.message));
ee.emit('error', new Error('boom'));
// Prints: ok boom
An AbortSignal
can be used to cancel waiting for the event:
const { EventEmitter, once } = require('events');
const ee = new EventEmitter();
const ac = new AbortController();
async function foo(emitter, event, signal) {
try {
await once(emitter, event, { signal });
console.log('event emitted!');
} catch (error) {
if (error.name === 'AbortError') {
console.error('Waiting for the event was canceled!');
} else {
console.error('There was an error', error.message);
}
}
}
foo(ee, 'foo', ac.signal);
ac.abort(); // Abort waiting for the event
ee.emit('foo'); // Prints: Waiting for the event was canceled!
