Extends: InternalClient

Inherited Properties

captureRejections	Value: boolean Change the default `captureRejections` option on all new `EventEmitter` objects.
captureRejectionSymbol	Value: `Symbol.for('nodejs.rejection')` See how to write a custom `rejection handler`.
defaultMaxListeners	By default, a maximum of `10` listeners can be registered for any single event. This limit can be changed for individual `EventEmitter` instances using the `emitter.setMaxListeners(n)` method. To change the default for all`EventEmitter` instances, the `events.defaultMaxListeners` property can be used. If this value is not a positive number, a `RangeError` is thrown. Take caution when setting the `events.defaultMaxListeners` because the change affects all `EventEmitter` instances, including those created before the change is made. However, calling `emitter.setMaxListeners(n)` still has precedence over `events.defaultMaxListeners`. This is not a hard limit. The `EventEmitter` instance will allow more listeners to be added but will output a trace warning to stderr indicating that a "possible EventEmitter memory leak" has been detected. For any single `EventEmitter`, the `emitter.getMaxListeners()` and `emitter.setMaxListeners()` methods can be used to temporarily avoid this warning: `import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; const emitter = new EventEmitter(); emitter.setMaxListeners(emitter.getMaxListeners() + 1); emitter.once('event', () => { // do stuff emitter.setMaxListeners(Math.max(emitter.getMaxListeners() - 1, 0)); });` The `--trace-warnings` command-line flag can be used to display the stack trace for such warnings. The emitted warning can be inspected with `process.on('warning')` and will have the additional `emitter`, `type`, and `count` properties, referring to the event emitter instance, the event's name and the number of attached listeners, respectively. Its `name` property is set to `'MaxListenersExceededWarning'`.
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.

Methods

close()
close(Callback<Disconnected>)	Closes the transport connection and destroys the client resources. Note: After calling this method the ModuleClient object cannot be reused.
fromAuthenticationProvider(AuthenticationProvider, any)	Creates an IoT Hub module client from the given authentication method and using the given transport type.
fromConnectionString(string, any)	Creates an IoT Hub device client from the given connection string using the given transport type.

Inherited Methods

abandon(Message)
abandon(Message, Callback<MessageAbandoned>)
addAbortListener(AbortSignal, (event: Event) => void)	Listens once to the `abort` event on the provided `signal`. Listening to the `abort` event on abort signals is unsafe and may lead to resource leaks since another third party with the signal can call `e.stopImmediatePropagation()`. Unfortunately Node.js cannot change this since it would violate the web standard. Additionally, the original API makes it easy to forget to remove listeners. This API allows safely using `AbortSignal`s in Node.js APIs by solving these two issues by listening to the event such that `stopImmediatePropagation` does not prevent the listener from running. Returns a disposable so that it may be unsubscribed from more easily. `import { addAbortListener } from 'node:events'; function example(signal) { let disposable; try { signal.addEventListener('abort', (e) => e.stopImmediatePropagation()); disposable = addAbortListener(signal, (e) => { // Do something when signal is aborted. }); } finally { disposable?.[Symbol.dispose](); } }`
addListener<K>(string \| symbol, (args: any[]) => void)	Alias for `emitter.on(eventName, listener)`.
complete(Message)
complete(Message, Callback<MessageCompleted>)
emit<K>(string \| symbol, AnyRest)	Synchronously calls each of the listeners registered for the event named `eventName`, in the order they were registered, passing the supplied arguments to each. Returns `true` if the event had listeners, `false` otherwise. import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; const myEmitter = new EventEmitter(); // First listener myEmitter.on('event', function firstListener() { console.log('Helloooo! first listener'); }); // Second listener myEmitter.on('event', function secondListener(arg1, arg2) { console.log(`event with parameters ${arg1}, ${arg2} in second listener`); }); // Third listener myEmitter.on('event', function thirdListener(...args) { const parameters = args.join(', '); console.log(`event with parameters ${parameters} in third listener`); }); console.log(myEmitter.listeners('event')); myEmitter.emit('event', 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // Prints: // [ // [Function: firstListener], // [Function: secondListener], // [Function: thirdListener] // ] // Helloooo! first listener // event with parameters 1, 2 in second listener // event with parameters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in third listener
eventNames()	Returns an array listing the events for which the emitter has registered listeners. The values in the array are strings or `Symbol`s. `import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; const myEE = new EventEmitter(); myEE.on('foo', () => {}); myEE.on('bar', () => {}); const sym = Symbol('symbol'); myEE.on(sym, () => {}); console.log(myEE.eventNames()); // Prints: [ 'foo', 'bar', Symbol(symbol) ]`
getEventListeners(EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap> \| EventTarget, string \| symbol)	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. `import { getEventListeners, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; { const ee = new EventEmitter(); const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun'); ee.on('foo', listener); console.log(getEventListeners(ee, 'foo')); // [ [Function: listener] ] } { const et = new EventTarget(); const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun'); et.addEventListener('foo', listener); console.log(getEventListeners(et, 'foo')); // [ [Function: listener] ] }`
getMaxListeners()	Returns the current max listener value for the `EventEmitter` which is either set by `emitter.setMaxListeners(n)` or defaults to defaultMaxListeners.
getMaxListeners(EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap> \| EventTarget)	Returns the currently set max amount of listeners. For `EventEmitter`s this behaves exactly the same as calling `.getMaxListeners` on the emitter. For `EventTarget`s this is the only way to get the max event listeners for the event target. If the number of event handlers on a single EventTarget exceeds the max set, the EventTarget will print a warning. `import { getMaxListeners, setMaxListeners, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; { const ee = new EventEmitter(); console.log(getMaxListeners(ee)); // 10 setMaxListeners(11, ee); console.log(getMaxListeners(ee)); // 11 } { const et = new EventTarget(); console.log(getMaxListeners(et)); // 10 setMaxListeners(11, et); console.log(getMaxListeners(et)); // 11 }`
getTwin()
getTwin(Callback<Twin>)
listenerCount(EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap>, string \| symbol)	A class method that returns the number of listeners for the given `eventName` registered on the given `emitter`. `import { EventEmitter, listenerCount } from 'node:events'; const myEmitter = new EventEmitter(); myEmitter.on('event', () => {}); myEmitter.on('event', () => {}); console.log(listenerCount(myEmitter, 'event')); // Prints: 2`
listenerCount<K>(string \| symbol, Function)	Returns the number of listeners listening for the event named `eventName`. If `listener` is provided, it will return how many times the listener is found in the list of the listeners of the event.
listeners<K>(string \| symbol)	Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named `eventName`. `server.on('connection', (stream) => { console.log('someone connected!'); }); console.log(util.inspect(server.listeners('connection'))); // Prints: [ [Function] ]`
off<K>(string \| symbol, (args: any[]) => void)	Alias for `emitter.removeListener()`.
on(EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap>, string \| symbol, StaticEventEmitterIteratorOptions)	`import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; import process from 'node:process'; 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: import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; import process from 'node:process'; 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()); Use the `close` option to specify an array of event names that will end the iteration: `import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; import process from 'node:process'; const ee = new EventEmitter(); // Emit later on process.nextTick(() => { ee.emit('foo', 'bar'); ee.emit('foo', 42); ee.emit('close'); }); for await (const event of on(ee, 'foo', { close: ['close'] })) { console.log(event); // prints ['bar'] [42] } // the loop will exit after 'close' is emitted console.log('done'); // prints 'done'`
on(EventTarget, string, StaticEventEmitterIteratorOptions)
on<K>(string \| symbol, (args: any[]) => void)	Adds the `listener` function to the end of the listeners array for the event named `eventName`. No checks are made to see if the `listener` has already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination of `eventName` and `listener` will result in the `listener` being added, and called, multiple times. `server.on('connection', (stream) => { console.log('someone connected!'); });` Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained. By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The `emitter.prependListener()` method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array. `import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; const myEE = new EventEmitter(); myEE.on('foo', () => console.log('a')); myEE.prependListener('foo', () => console.log('b')); myEE.emit('foo'); // Prints: // b // a`
once(EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap>, string \| symbol, StaticEventEmitterOptions)	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. `import { once, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; import process from 'node:process'; 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.error('error happened', err); }` 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: `import { EventEmitter, once } from 'node:events'; const ee = new EventEmitter(); once(ee, 'error') .then(([err]) => console.log('ok', err.message)) .catch((err) => console.error('error', err.message)); ee.emit('error', new Error('boom')); // Prints: ok boom` An `AbortSignal` can be used to cancel waiting for the event: import { EventEmitter, once } from 'node: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!
once(EventTarget, string, StaticEventEmitterOptions)
once<K>(string \| symbol, (args: any[]) => void)	Adds a one-time `listener` function for the event named `eventName`. The next time `eventName` is triggered, this listener is removed and then invoked. `server.once('connection', (stream) => { console.log('Ah, we have our first user!'); });` Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained. By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The `emitter.prependOnceListener()` method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array. `import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; const myEE = new EventEmitter(); myEE.once('foo', () => console.log('a')); myEE.prependOnceListener('foo', () => console.log('b')); myEE.emit('foo'); // Prints: // b // a`
open()
open(Callback<Connected>)
prependListener<K>(string \| symbol, (args: any[]) => void)	Adds the `listener` function to the beginning of the listeners array for the event named `eventName`. No checks are made to see if the `listener` has already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination of `eventName` and `listener` will result in the `listener` being added, and called, multiple times. `server.prependListener('connection', (stream) => { console.log('someone connected!'); });` Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained.
prependOnceListener<K>(string \| symbol, (args: any[]) => void)	Adds a one-time`listener` function for the event named `eventName` to the beginning of the listeners array. The next time `eventName` is triggered, this listener is removed, and then invoked. `server.prependOnceListener('connection', (stream) => { console.log('Ah, we have our first user!'); });` Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained.
rawListeners<K>(string \| symbol)	Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named `eventName`, including any wrappers (such as those created by `.once()`). import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; const emitter = new EventEmitter(); emitter.once('log', () => console.log('log once')); // Returns a new Array with a function `onceWrapper` which has a property // `listener` which contains the original listener bound above const listeners = emitter.rawListeners('log'); const logFnWrapper = listeners[0]; // Logs "log once" to the console and does not unbind the `once` event logFnWrapper.listener(); // Logs "log once" to the console and removes the listener logFnWrapper(); emitter.on('log', () => console.log('log persistently')); // Will return a new Array with a single function bound by `.on()` above const newListeners = emitter.rawListeners('log'); // Logs "log persistently" twice newListeners[0](); emitter.emit('log');
reject(Message)
reject(Message, Callback<MessageRejected>)
removeAllListeners(string \| symbol)	Removes all listeners, or those of the specified `eventName`. It is bad practice to remove listeners added elsewhere in the code, particularly when the `EventEmitter` instance was created by some other component or module (e.g. sockets or file streams). Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained.
removeListener<K>(string \| symbol, (args: any[]) => void)	Removes the specified `listener` from the listener array for the event named `eventName`. `const callback = (stream) => { console.log('someone connected!'); }; server.on('connection', callback); // ... server.removeListener('connection', callback);` `removeListener()` will remove, at most, one instance of a listener from the listener array. If any single listener has been added multiple times to the listener array for the specified `eventName`, then `removeListener()` must be called multiple times to remove each instance. Once an event is emitted, all listeners attached to it at the time of emitting are called in order. This implies that any `removeListener()` or `removeAllListeners()` calls after emitting and before the last listener finishes execution will not remove them from`emit()` in progress. Subsequent events behave as expected. import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; class MyEmitter extends EventEmitter {} const myEmitter = new MyEmitter(); const callbackA = () => { console.log('A'); myEmitter.removeListener('event', callbackB); }; const callbackB = () => { console.log('B'); }; myEmitter.on('event', callbackA); myEmitter.on('event', callbackB); // callbackA removes listener callbackB but it will still be called. // Internal listener array at time of emit [callbackA, callbackB] myEmitter.emit('event'); // Prints: // A // B // callbackB is now removed. // Internal listener array [callbackA] myEmitter.emit('event'); // Prints: // A Because listeners are managed using an internal array, calling this will change the position indices of any listener registered after the listener being removed. This will not impact the order in which listeners are called, but it means that any copies of the listener array as returned by the `emitter.listeners()` method will need to be recreated. When a single function has been added as a handler multiple times for a single event (as in the example below), `removeListener()` will remove the most recently added instance. In the example the `once('ping')` listener is removed: `import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; const ee = new EventEmitter(); function pong() { console.log('pong'); } ee.on('ping', pong); ee.once('ping', pong); ee.removeListener('ping', pong); ee.emit('ping'); ee.emit('ping');` Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained.
sendEvent(Message)
sendEvent(Message, Callback<MessageEnqueued>)
sendEventBatch(Message[])
sendEventBatch(Message[], Callback<MessageEnqueued>)
setMaxListeners(number)	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 to `Infinity` (or `0`) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners. Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained.
setMaxListeners(number, (EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap> \| EventTarget)[])	`import { setMaxListeners, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; const target = new EventTarget(); const emitter = new EventEmitter(); setMaxListeners(5, target, emitter);`
setRetryPolicy(RetryPolicy)	Sets the retry policy used by the client on all operations. The default is ExponentialBackoffWithJitter.
setTransportOptions(any)
setTransportOptions(any, Callback<TransportConfigured>)
updateSharedAccessSignature(string, Callback<SharedAccessSignatureUpdated>)

defaultMaxListeners

By default, a maximum of 10 listeners can be registered for any single event. This limit can be changed for individual EventEmitter instances using the emitter.setMaxListeners(n) method. To change the default for allEventEmitter instances, the events.defaultMaxListeners property can be used. If this value is not a positive number, a RangeError is thrown.

Take caution when setting the events.defaultMaxListeners because the change affects all EventEmitter instances, including those created before the change is made. However, calling emitter.setMaxListeners(n) still has precedence over events.defaultMaxListeners.

This is not a hard limit. The EventEmitter instance will allow more listeners to be added but will output a trace warning to stderr indicating that a "possible EventEmitter memory leak" has been detected. For any single EventEmitter, the emitter.getMaxListeners() and emitter.setMaxListeners() methods can be used to temporarily avoid this warning:

import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
const emitter = new EventEmitter();
emitter.setMaxListeners(emitter.getMaxListeners() + 1);
emitter.once('event', () => {
  // do stuff
  emitter.setMaxListeners(Math.max(emitter.getMaxListeners() - 1, 0));
});

The --trace-warnings command-line flag can be used to display the stack trace for such warnings.

The emitted warning can be inspected with process.on('warning') and will have the additional emitter, type, and count properties, referring to the event emitter instance, the event's name and the number of attached listeners, respectively. Its name property is set to 'MaxListenersExceededWarning'.

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.

addAbortListener(AbortSignal, (event: Event) => void)

Listens once to the abort event on the provided signal.

Listening to the abort event on abort signals is unsafe and may lead to resource leaks since another third party with the signal can call e.stopImmediatePropagation(). Unfortunately Node.js cannot change this since it would violate the web standard. Additionally, the original API makes it easy to forget to remove listeners.

This API allows safely using AbortSignals in Node.js APIs by solving these two issues by listening to the event such that stopImmediatePropagation does not prevent the listener from running.

Returns a disposable so that it may be unsubscribed from more easily.

import { addAbortListener } from 'node:events';

function example(signal) {
  let disposable;
  try {
    signal.addEventListener('abort', (e) => e.stopImmediatePropagation());
    disposable = addAbortListener(signal, (e) => {
      // Do something when signal is aborted.
    });
  } finally {
    disposable?.[Symbol.dispose]();
  }
}

static function addAbortListener(signal: AbortSignal, resource: (event: Event) => void): Disposable

getEventListeners(EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap> | EventTarget, string | symbol)

Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName.

For EventEmitters this behaves exactly the same as calling .listeners on the emitter.

For EventTargets this is the only way to get the event listeners for the event target. This is useful for debugging and diagnostic purposes.

import { getEventListeners, EventEmitter } from 'node:events';

{
  const ee = new EventEmitter();
  const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun');
  ee.on('foo', listener);
  console.log(getEventListeners(ee, 'foo')); // [ [Function: listener] ]
}
{
  const et = new EventTarget();
  const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun');
  et.addEventListener('foo', listener);
  console.log(getEventListeners(et, 'foo')); // [ [Function: listener] ]
}

static function getEventListeners(emitter: EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap> | EventTarget, name: string | symbol): Function[]

Parameters

emitter: EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap> | EventTarget

name: string | symbol

Returns

Function[]

Inherited From InternalClient.getEventListeners

getMaxListeners()

Returns the current max listener value for the EventEmitter which is either set by emitter.setMaxListeners(n) or defaults to defaultMaxListeners.

function getMaxListeners(): number

Returns

number

Inherited From InternalClient.getMaxListeners

getMaxListeners(EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap> | EventTarget)

Returns the currently set max amount of listeners.

For EventEmitters this behaves exactly the same as calling .getMaxListeners on the emitter.

For EventTargets this is the only way to get the max event listeners for the event target. If the number of event handlers on a single EventTarget exceeds the max set, the EventTarget will print a warning.

import { getMaxListeners, setMaxListeners, EventEmitter } from 'node:events';

{
  const ee = new EventEmitter();
  console.log(getMaxListeners(ee)); // 10
  setMaxListeners(11, ee);
  console.log(getMaxListeners(ee)); // 11
}
{
  const et = new EventTarget();
  console.log(getMaxListeners(et)); // 10
  setMaxListeners(11, et);
  console.log(getMaxListeners(et)); // 11
}

static function getMaxListeners(emitter: EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap> | EventTarget): number

Since v3.2.0 - Use listenerCount instead.

A class method that returns the number of listeners for the given eventName registered on the given emitter.

import { EventEmitter, listenerCount } from 'node:events';

const myEmitter = new EventEmitter();
myEmitter.on('event', () => {});
myEmitter.on('event', () => {});
console.log(listenerCount(myEmitter, 'event'));
// Prints: 2

static function listenerCount(emitter: EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap>, eventName: string | symbol): number

Parameters

emitter: EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap>

The emitter to query

eventName: string | symbol

The event name

Returns

number

Inherited From InternalClient.listenerCount

function listenerCount<K>(eventName: string | symbol, listener?: Function): number

Parameters

eventName: string | symbol

The name of the event being listened for

listener: Function

The event handler function

Returns

number

Inherited From InternalClient.listenerCount

listeners<K>(string | symbol)

Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName.

server.on('connection', (stream) => {
  console.log('someone connected!');
});
console.log(util.inspect(server.listeners('connection')));
// Prints: [ [Function] ]

function listeners<K>(eventName: string | symbol): Function[]

Parameters

Inherited From InternalClient.off

on(EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap>, string | symbol, StaticEventEmitterIteratorOptions)

import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
import process from 'node:process';

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:

import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
import process from 'node:process';

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());

Use the close option to specify an array of event names that will end the iteration:

import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
import process from 'node:process';

const ee = new EventEmitter();

// Emit later on
process.nextTick(() => {
  ee.emit('foo', 'bar');
  ee.emit('foo', 42);
  ee.emit('close');
});

for await (const event of on(ee, 'foo', { close: ['close'] })) {
  console.log(event); // prints ['bar'] [42]
}
// the loop will exit after 'close' is emitted
console.log('done'); // prints 'done'

static function on(emitter: EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap>, eventName: string | symbol, options?: StaticEventEmitterIteratorOptions): AsyncIterator<any[], any, any>

Parameters

Inherited From InternalClient.on

on(EventTarget, string, StaticEventEmitterIteratorOptions)

static function on(emitter: EventTarget, eventName: string, options?: StaticEventEmitterIteratorOptions): AsyncIterator<any[], any, any>

Parameters

emitter: EventTarget

eventName: string

options: StaticEventEmitterIteratorOptions

Returns

AsyncIterator<any[], any, any>

Inherited From InternalClient.on

on<K>(string | symbol, (args: any[]) => void)

Adds the listener function to the end of the listeners array for the event named eventName. No checks are made to see if the listener has already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination of eventName and listener will result in the listener being added, and called, multiple times.

server.on('connection', (stream) => {
  console.log('someone connected!');
});

Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The emitter.prependListener() method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array.

import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
const myEE = new EventEmitter();
myEE.on('foo', () => console.log('a'));
myEE.prependListener('foo', () => console.log('b'));
myEE.emit('foo');
// Prints:
//   b
//   a

function on<K>(eventName: string | symbol, listener: (args: any[]) => void): ModuleClient

Parameters

eventName: string | symbol

The name of the event.

listener: (args: any[]) => void

The callback function

Returns

ModuleClient

Inherited From InternalClient.on

once(EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap>, string | symbol, StaticEventEmitterOptions)

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.

import { once, EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
import process from 'node:process';

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.error('error happened', err);
}

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:

import { EventEmitter, once } from 'node:events';

const ee = new EventEmitter();

once(ee, 'error')
  .then(([err]) => console.log('ok', err.message))
  .catch((err) => console.error('error', err.message));

ee.emit('error', new Error('boom'));

// Prints: ok boom

An AbortSignal can be used to cancel waiting for the event:

import { EventEmitter, once } from 'node: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!

static function once(emitter: EventEmitter<DefaultEventMap>, eventName: string | symbol, options?: StaticEventEmitterOptions): Promise<any[]>

server.once('connection', (stream) => {
  console.log('Ah, we have our first user!');
});

Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The emitter.prependOnceListener() method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array.

import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
const myEE = new EventEmitter();
myEE.once('foo', () => console.log('a'));
myEE.prependOnceListener('foo', () => console.log('b'));
myEE.emit('foo');

rawListeners<K>(string | symbol)

Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName, including any wrappers (such as those created by .once()).

import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
const emitter = new EventEmitter();
emitter.once('log', () => console.log('log once'));

// Returns a new Array with a function `onceWrapper` which has a property
// `listener` which contains the original listener bound above
const listeners = emitter.rawListeners('log');
const logFnWrapper = listeners[0];

// Logs "log once" to the console and does not unbind the `once` event
logFnWrapper.listener();

// Logs "log once" to the console and removes the listener
logFnWrapper();

emitter.on('log', () => console.log('log persistently'));
// Will return a new Array with a single function bound by `.on()` above
const newListeners = emitter.rawListeners('log');

// Logs "log persistently" twice
newListeners[0]();
emitter.emit('log');

removeAllListeners(string | symbol)

Removes all listeners, or those of the specified eventName.

It is bad practice to remove listeners added elsewhere in the code, particularly when the EventEmitter instance was created by some other component or module (e.g. sockets or file streams).

Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

function removeAllListeners(eventName?: string | symbol): ModuleClient

Parameters

eventName: string | symbol

Returns

ModuleClient

Inherited From InternalClient.removeAllListeners

removeListener<K>(string | symbol, (args: any[]) => void)

Removes the specified listener from the listener array for the event named eventName.

const callback = (stream) => {
  console.log('someone connected!');
};
server.on('connection', callback);
// ...
server.removeListener('connection', callback);

removeListener() will remove, at most, one instance of a listener from the listener array. If any single listener has been added multiple times to the listener array for the specified eventName, then removeListener() must be called multiple times to remove each instance.

Once an event is emitted, all listeners attached to it at the time of emitting are called in order. This implies that any removeListener() or removeAllListeners() calls after emitting and before the last listener finishes execution will not remove them fromemit() in progress. Subsequent events behave as expected.

import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
class MyEmitter extends EventEmitter {}
const myEmitter = new MyEmitter();

const callbackA = () => {
  console.log('A');
  myEmitter.removeListener('event', callbackB);
};

const callbackB = () => {
  console.log('B');
};

myEmitter.on('event', callbackA);

myEmitter.on('event', callbackB);

// callbackA removes listener callbackB but it will still be called.
// Internal listener array at time of emit [callbackA, callbackB]
myEmitter.emit('event');
// Prints:
//   A
//   B

// callbackB is now removed.
// Internal listener array [callbackA]
myEmitter.emit('event');
// Prints:
//   A

Because listeners are managed using an internal array, calling this will change the position indices of any listener registered after the listener being removed. This will not impact the order in which listeners are called, but it means that any copies of the listener array as returned by the emitter.listeners() method will need to be recreated.

When a single function has been added as a handler multiple times for a single event (as in the example below), removeListener() will remove the most recently added instance. In the example the once('ping') listener is removed:

import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
const ee = new EventEmitter();

function pong() {
  console.log('pong');
}

ee.on('ping', pong);
ee.once('ping', pong);
ee.removeListener('ping', pong);

ee.emit('ping');
ee.emit('ping');

Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

setMaxListeners(number)

By default EventEmitters 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 to Infinity (or 0) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners.

Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
