end()
was called and the write stream successfully wrote the file metadata and all the chunks to MongoDB.
Is true after 'close' has been emitted.
Is true
after writable.destroy()
has been called.
Returns error if the stream has been destroyed with an error.
Is true
if it is safe to call writable.write()
, which means
the stream has not been destroyed, errored or ended.
Number of times writable.uncork()
needs to be
called in order to fully uncork the stream.
Is true
after writable.end()
has been called. This property
does not indicate whether the data has been flushed, for this use writable.writableFinished
instead.
Is set to true
immediately before the 'finish'
event is emitted.
Return the value of highWaterMark
passed when creating this Writable
.
This property contains the number of bytes (or objects) in the queue
ready to be written. The value provides introspection data regarding
the status of the highWaterMark
.
Is true
if the stream's buffer has been full and stream will emit 'drain'.
Getter for the property objectMode
of a given Writable
stream.
Sets or gets the default captureRejection value for all emitters.
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.
Places this write stream into an aborted state (all future writes fail) and deletes all chunks that have already been written.
Event emitter The defined events on documents including:
The writable.cork()
method forces all written data to be buffered in memory.
The buffered data will be flushed when either the uncork or end methods are called.
The primary intent of writable.cork()
is to accommodate a situation in which
several small chunks are written to the stream in rapid succession. Instead of
immediately forwarding them to the underlying destination, writable.cork()
buffers all the chunks until writable.uncork()
is called, which will pass them
all to writable._writev()
, if present. This prevents a head-of-line blocking
situation where data is being buffered while waiting for the first small chunk
to be processed. However, use of writable.cork()
without implementingwritable._writev()
may have an adverse effect on throughput.
See also: writable.uncork()
, writable._writev()
.
Destroy the stream. Optionally emit an 'error'
event, and emit a 'close'
event (unless emitClose
is set to false
). After this call, the writable
stream has ended and subsequent calls to write()
or end()
will result in
an ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED
error.
This is a destructive and immediate way to destroy a stream. Previous calls towrite()
may not have drained, and may trigger an ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED
error.
Use end()
instead of destroy if data should flush before close, or wait for
the 'drain'
event before destroying the stream.
Once destroy()
has been called any further calls will be a no-op and no
further errors except from _destroy()
may be emitted as 'error'
.
Implementors should not override this method,
but instead implement writable._destroy()
.
Optional, an error to emit with 'error'
event.
Tells the stream that no more data will be coming in. The stream will persist the remaining data to MongoDB, write the files document, and then emit a 'finish' event.
Returns an array listing the events for which the emitter has registered
listeners. The values in the array are strings or Symbol
s.
const EventEmitter = require('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) ]
Returns the current max listener value for the EventEmitter
which is either
set by emitter.setMaxListeners(n)
or defaults to defaultMaxListeners.
Returns the number of listeners listening to the event named eventName
.
The name of the event being listened for
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] ]
Alias for emitter.removeListener()
.
Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName
,
including any wrappers (such as those created by .once()
).
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');
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.
The writable.setDefaultEncoding()
method sets the default encoding
for a Writable
stream.
The new default encoding
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.
The writable.uncork()
method flushes all data buffered since cork was called.
When using writable.cork()
and writable.uncork()
to manage the buffering
of writes to a stream, defer calls to writable.uncork()
usingprocess.nextTick()
. Doing so allows batching of allwritable.write()
calls that occur within a given Node.js event
loop phase.
stream.cork();
stream.write('some ');
stream.write('data ');
process.nextTick(() => stream.uncork());
If the writable.cork()
method is called multiple times on a stream, the
same number of calls to writable.uncork()
must be called to flush the buffered
data.
stream.cork();
stream.write('some ');
stream.cork();
stream.write('data ');
process.nextTick(() => {
stream.uncork();
// The data will not be flushed until uncork() is called a second time.
stream.uncork();
});
See also: writable.cork()
.
Write a buffer to the stream.
Buffer to write
False if this write required flushing a chunk to MongoDB. True otherwise.
A utility method for creating a Writable
from a web WritableStream
.
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]
}
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
The emitter to query
The event name
```js 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:
```js
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());
The name of the event being listened for
that iterates eventName
events emitted by the emitter
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!
```js const { setMaxListeners, EventEmitter } = require('events');
const target = new EventTarget(); const emitter = new EventEmitter();
setMaxListeners(5, target, emitter); ```
A non-negative number. The maximum number of listeners per EventTarget
event.
