staticexternalreadonlycaptureRejectionSymbol
staticexternalcaptureRejections
Sets or gets the default captureRejection value for all emitters.
staticexternaldefaultMaxListeners
staticexternalreadonlyerrorMonitor
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.

Symbols.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 (string | symbol)[]
externalgetMaxListeners
Returns the current max listener value for the
EventEmitterwhich is either set byemitter.setMaxListeners(n)or defaults to defaultMaxListeners.Returns number
externalgetOptions
Returns Record<string, any>
externallistenerCount
Returns the number of listeners listening to the event named
eventName.If
listeneris provided, it will return how many times the listener is found in the list of the listeners of the event.Parameters
externaleventName: string | symbol
The name of the event being listened for
externaloptionallistener: Function
The event handler function
Returns number
externallisteners
Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named
eventName.server.on('connection', (stream) => {

externallistener: (...args: any[]) => void
Returns LoggerText
externalon
Adds the
listenerfunction to the end of the listeners array for the event namedeventName. No checks are made to see if thelistenerhas already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination ofeventNameandlistenerwill result in thelistenerbeing 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.const myEE = new EventEmitter();
myEE.on('foo', () => console.log('a'));
myEE.prependListener('foo', () => console.log('b'));
myEE.emit('foo');
// Prints:
// b
// aParameters
externaleventName: string | symbol
The name of the event.
externallistener: (...args: any[]) => void

Returns LoggerText
externalonce
Adds a one-time
listenerfunction for the event namedeventName. The next timeeventNameis 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.const myEE = new EventEmitter();
myEE.once('foo', () => console.log('a'));
myEE.prependOnceListener('foo', () => console.log('b'));
myEE.emit('foo');
// Prints:
// b
// aParameters

The name of the event.
externallistener: (...args: any[]) => void
The callback function
Returns LoggerText
externalprependListener
Adds the
listenerfunction to the beginning of the listeners array for the event namedeventName. No checks are made to see if thelistenerhas already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination ofeventNameandlistenerwill result in thelistenerbeing 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.Parameters
externaleventName: string | symbol
The name of the event.
externallistener: (...args: any[]) => void
The callback function
Returns LoggerText
externalprependOnceListener
Adds a one-time
listenerfunction for the event namedeventNameto the beginning of the listeners array. The next timeeventNameis 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.Parameters
externaleventName: string | symbol
The name of the event.
externallistener: (...args: any[]) => void
The callback function
Returns LoggerText
externalrawListeners
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');Parameters
externaleventName: string | symbol
Returns Function[]
externalremoveAllListeners
Removes all listeners, or those of the specified
eventName.It is bad practice to remove listeners added elsewhere in the code, particularly when the
EventEmitterinstance 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.Parameters
externaloptionalevent: string | symbol
Returns LoggerText
externalremoveListener
Removes the specified
listenerfrom 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 specifiedeventName, thenremoveListener()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()orremoveAllListeners()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:
// ABecause 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 theonce('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.Parameters
externaleventName: string | symbol
externallistener: (...args: any[]) => void
Returns LoggerText
externalsetMaxListeners
By default
EventEmitters will print a warning if more than10listeners are added for a particular event. This is a useful default that helps finding memory leaks. Theemitter.setMaxListeners()method allows the limit to be modified for this specificEventEmitterinstance. The value can be set toInfinity(or0) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners.Returns a reference to the
EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.Parameters
externaln: number
Returns LoggerText
externalsetOptions
Parameters
externaloptions: Record<string, any>
Returns void
staticexternalgetEventListeners
Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named
eventName.For
EventEmitters this behaves exactly the same as calling.listenerson 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);
getEventListeners(ee, 'foo'); // [listener]
}
{
const et = new EventTarget();
const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun');
et.addEventListener('foo', listener);
getEventListeners(et, 'foo'); // [listener]
}Parameters
externalemitter: EventEmitter | _DOMEventTarget
externalname: string | symbol
Returns Function[]
staticexternalgetMaxListeners
Returns the currently set max amount of listeners.
For
EventEmitters this behaves exactly the same as calling.getMaxListenerson 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
}Parameters
externalemitter: EventEmitter | _DOMEventTarget
Returns number
staticexternallistenerCount
A class method that returns the number of listeners for the given
eventNameregistered on the givenemitter.const { EventEmitter, listenerCount } = require('events');
const myEmitter = new EventEmitter();
myEmitter.on('event', () => {});
myEmitter.on('event', () => {});
console.log(listenerCount(myEmitter, 'event'));
// Prints: 2Parameters
externalemitter: EventEmitter
The emitter to query
externaleventName: string | symbol
The event name
Returns number
staticexternalon
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
AsyncIteratorthat iterateseventNameevents. It will throw if theEventEmitteremits'error'. It removes all listeners when exiting the loop. Thevaluereturned by each iteration is an array composed of the emitted event arguments.An
AbortSignalcan 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());Parameters
externalemitter: EventEmitter
externaleventName: string
The name of the event being listened for
externaloptionaloptions: StaticEventEmitterOptions
Returns AsyncIterableIterator<any>
that iterates
eventNameevents emitted by theemitter
staticexternalonce
Creates a
Promisethat is fulfilled when theEventEmitteremits the given event or that is rejected if theEventEmitteremits'error'while waiting. ThePromisewill 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 whenevents.once()is used to wait for another event. Ifevents.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 boomAn
AbortSignalcan 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!Parameters
