Not implemented in Bun

constructor AsyncResource(

type: string,

triggerAsyncId?: number | AsyncResourceOptions

AsyncResource() is meant to be extended. Instantiating a new AsyncResource() also triggers init. If triggerAsyncId is omitted then async_hook.executionAsyncId() is used.

@param type

The type of async event.

@param triggerAsyncId

The ID of the execution context that created this async event (default: executionAsyncId()), or an AsyncResourceOptions object (since v9.3.0)

Referenced types

interface AsyncResourceOptions

requireManualDestroy?: boolean
Disables automatic emitDestroy when the object is garbage collected. This usually does not need to be set (even if emitDestroy is called manually), unless the resource's asyncId is retrieved and the sensitive API's emitDestroy is called with it.
triggerAsyncId?: number
The ID of the execution context that created this async event.

class AsyncResource

The class AsyncResource is designed to be extended by the embedder's async resources. Using this, users can easily trigger the lifetime events of their own resources.

The init hook will trigger when an AsyncResource is instantiated.

The following is an overview of the AsyncResource API.

import { AsyncResource, executionAsyncId } from 'node:async_hooks';

// AsyncResource() is meant to be extended. Instantiating a
// new AsyncResource() also triggers init. If triggerAsyncId is omitted then
// async_hook.executionAsyncId() is used.
const asyncResource = new AsyncResource(
  type, { triggerAsyncId: executionAsyncId(), requireManualDestroy: false },
);

// Run a function in the execution context of the resource. This will
// * establish the context of the resource
// * trigger the AsyncHooks before callbacks
// * call the provided function `fn` with the supplied arguments
// * trigger the AsyncHooks after callbacks
// * restore the original execution context
asyncResource.runInAsyncScope(fn, thisArg, ...args);

// Call AsyncHooks destroy callbacks.
asyncResource.emitDestroy();

// Return the unique ID assigned to the AsyncResource instance.
asyncResource.asyncId();

// Return the trigger ID for the AsyncResource instance.
asyncResource.triggerAsyncId();

asyncId(): number;
@returns
The unique asyncId assigned to the resource.
bind<Func extends (...args: any[]) => any>(
fn: Func
): Func;
Binds the given function to execute to this AsyncResource's scope.
@param fn
The function to bind to the current AsyncResource.
emitDestroy(): this;
Call all destroy hooks. This should only ever be called once. An error will be thrown if it is called more than once. This must be manually called. If the resource is left to be collected by the GC then the destroy hooks will never be called.
@returns
A reference to asyncResource.
runInAsyncScope<This, Result>(
fn: (this: This, ...args: any[]) => Result,
thisArg?: This,
...args: any[]
): Result;
Call the provided function with the provided arguments in the execution context of the async resource. This will establish the context, trigger the AsyncHooks before callbacks, call the function, trigger the AsyncHooks after callbacks, and then restore the original execution context.
@param fn
The function to call in the execution context of this async resource.
@param thisArg
The receiver to be used for the function call.
@param args
Optional arguments to pass to the function.
triggerAsyncId(): number;
@returns
The same triggerAsyncId that is passed to the AsyncResource constructor.
static bind<Func extends (this: ThisArg, ...args: any[]) => any, ThisArg>(
fn: Func,
type?: string,
thisArg?: ThisArg
): Func;
Binds the given function to the current execution context.
@param fn
The function to bind to the current execution context.
@param type
An optional name to associate with the underlying AsyncResource.
