externalLoggerJson

This is an abstract class that should be extended by custom logger classes.

this._log() method must be implemented by them.

Hierarchy

  • Logger
    • LoggerJson

Index

Constructors

externalconstructor

  • new LoggerJson(options?: {}): LoggerJson
  • Parameters

    • externaloptionaloptions: {}

      Returns LoggerJson

    Properties

    staticexternalreadonlycaptureRejectionSymbol

    captureRejectionSymbol: typeof captureRejectionSymbol

    staticexternalcaptureRejections

    captureRejections: boolean

    Sets or gets the default captureRejection value for all emitters.

    staticexternaldefaultMaxListeners

    defaultMaxListeners: number

    staticexternalreadonlyerrorMonitor

    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.

          Returns LoggerJson

        externalon

        • on(eventName: string | symbol, listener: (...args: any[]) => void): LoggerJson
        • 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 eventNameand listener will result in the listener being added, and called, multiple times.

            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. Theemitter.prependOnceListener() method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array.

            const myEE = new EventEmitter();
            myEE.once('foo', () => console.log('a'));

                Parameters

                • externaleventName: string | symbol

                  The name of the event.

                • externallistener: (...args: any[]) => void

                  The callback function

                externalrawListeners

                • rawListeners(eventName: string | symbol): Function[]
                • 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'));

                  v9.4.0


                  Parameters

                  • externaleventName: string | symbol

                  Returns Function[]

                externalremoveAllListeners

                • removeAllListeners(event?: string | symbol): LoggerJson
                • 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.

                  @since

                  v0.1.26


                  Parameters

                  • externaloptionalevent: string | symbol

                  Returns LoggerJson

                externalremoveListener

                • removeListener(eventName: string | symbol, listener: (...args: any[]) => void): LoggerJson
                • Removes the specified listener from the listener array for the event namedeventName.

                  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 anyremoveListener() or removeAllListeners() calls after emitting and before the last listener finishes execution will not remove them fromemit() in progress. Subsequent events behave as expected.

                  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:

                  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.

                  v0.1.26


                  Parameters

                  • externaleventName: string | symbol
                  • externallistener: (...args: any[]) => void

                    Returns LoggerJson

                  externalsetMaxListeners

                  • setMaxListeners(n: number): LoggerJson
                  • 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 toInfinity (or 0) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners.

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

                    • externaln: number

                    Returns LoggerJson

                  externalsetOptions

                  • setOptions(options: Record<string, any>): void
                  • Parameters

                    • externaloptions: Record<string, any>

                    Returns void

                  staticexternalgetEventListeners

                  • getEventListeners(emitter: EventEmitter | DOMEventTarget, name: string | symbol): Function[]
                  • 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.

                    const { getEventListeners, EventEmitter } = require('events');

                    {
                    const ee = new EventEmitter();
                    const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun');
                    ee.on('foo', listener);

                    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

                    Parameters

                    • externalemitter: EventEmitter
                    • externaleventName: string

                      The name of the event being listened for

                    • externaloptionaloptions: StaticEventEmitterOptions

                    Returns AsyncIterableIterator<any>

                    that iterates eventName events emitted by the emitter

                  staticexternalonce

                  • once(emitter: NodeEventTarget, eventName: string | symbol, options?: StaticEventEmitterOptions): Promise<any[]>
                  • once(emitter: DOMEventTarget, eventName: string, options?: StaticEventEmitterOptions): 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!
