An Agent
object for HTTPS similar to http.Agent
. See request for more information.
Node.js module
https
The 'node:https'
module extends http
to support secure TLS/SSL connections. It provides https.createServer
and https.request
methods for serving and consuming encrypted HTTPS traffic.
Works in Bun
APIs are implemented, but the Agent is not always used yet, which might affect connection pooling and other Agent features.
class Agent
- readonly freeSockets: ReadOnlyDict<Socket[]>
An object which contains arrays of sockets currently awaiting use by the agent when
keepAlive
is enabled. Do not modify.Sockets in the
freeSockets
list will be automatically destroyed and removed from the array on'timeout'
. - maxFreeSockets: number
By default set to 256. For agents with
keepAlive
enabled, this sets the maximum number of sockets that will be left open in the free state. - maxSockets: number
By default set to
Infinity
. Determines how many concurrent sockets the agent can have open per origin. Origin is the returned value ofagent.getName()
. - maxTotalSockets: number
By default set to
Infinity
. Determines how many concurrent sockets the agent can have open. UnlikemaxSockets
, this parameter applies across all origins. - readonly requests: ReadOnlyDict<IncomingMessage[]>
An object which contains queues of requests that have not yet been assigned to sockets. Do not modify.
- static captureRejections: boolean
Value: boolean
Change the default
captureRejections
option on all newEventEmitter
objects. - readonly static captureRejectionSymbol: typeof captureRejectionSymbol
Value:
Symbol.for('nodejs.rejection')
See how to write a custom
rejection handler
. - static defaultMaxListeners: number
By default, a maximum of
10
listeners can be registered for any single event. This limit can be changed for individualEventEmitter
instances using theemitter.setMaxListeners(n)
method. To change the default for allEventEmitter
instances, theevents.defaultMaxListeners
property can be used. If this value is not a positive number, aRangeError
is thrown.Take caution when setting the
events.defaultMaxListeners
because the change affects allEventEmitter
instances, including those created before the change is made. However, callingemitter.setMaxListeners(n)
still has precedence overevents.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 singleEventEmitter
, theemitter.getMaxListeners()
andemitter.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 additionalemitter
,type
, andcount
properties, referring to the event emitter instance, the event's name and the number of attached listeners, respectively. Itsname
property is set to'MaxListenersExceededWarning'
. - readonly static 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. - eventName: string | symbol,listener: (...args: any[]) => void): this;
Alias for
emitter.on(eventName, listener)
. Destroy any sockets that are currently in use by the agent.
It is usually not necessary to do this. However, if using an agent with
keepAlive
enabled, then it is best to explicitly shut down the agent when it is no longer needed. Otherwise, sockets might stay open for quite a long time before the server terminates them.- eventName: string | symbol,...args: AnyRest): boolean;
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
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) ]
Returns the current max listener value for the
EventEmitter
which is either set byemitter.setMaxListeners(n)
or defaults to EventEmitter.defaultMaxListeners.- eventName: string | symbol,listener?: Function): number;
Returns the number of listeners listening for the event named
eventName
. Iflistener
is provided, it will return how many times the listener is found in the list of the listeners of the event.@param eventNameThe name of the event being listened for
@param listenerThe event handler function
- eventName: string | symbol): Function[];
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] ]
- eventName: string | symbol,listener: (...args: any[]) => void): this;
Alias for
emitter.removeListener()
. - eventName: string | symbol,listener: (...args: any[]) => void): this;
Adds the
listener
function to the end of the listeners array for the event namedeventName
. No checks are made to see if thelistener
has already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination ofeventName
andlistener
will result in thelistener
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
@param eventNameThe name of the event.
@param listenerThe callback function
- eventName: string | symbol,listener: (...args: any[]) => void): this;
Adds a one-time
listener
function for the event namedeventName
. The next timeeventName
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
@param eventNameThe name of the event.
@param listenerThe callback function
- eventName: string | symbol,listener: (...args: any[]) => void): this;
Adds the
listener
function to the beginning of the listeners array for the event namedeventName
. No checks are made to see if thelistener
has already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination ofeventName
andlistener
will result in thelistener
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.@param eventNameThe name of the event.
@param listenerThe callback function
- eventName: string | symbol,listener: (...args: any[]) => void): this;
Adds a one-time
listener
function for the event namedeventName
to the beginning of the listeners array. The next timeeventName
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.@param eventNameThe name of the event.
@param listenerThe callback function
- 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()
).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');
- eventName?: string | symbol): this;
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. - eventName: string | symbol,listener: (...args: any[]) => void): this;
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 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.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 theonce('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. - n: number): this;
By default
EventEmitter
s will print a warning if more than10
listeners 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 specificEventEmitter
instance. 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. - ): Disposable;
Listens once to the
abort
event on the providedsignal
.Listening to the
abort
event on abort signals is unsafe and may lead to resource leaks since another third party with the signal can calle.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 thatstopImmediatePropagation
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](); } }
@returnsDisposable that removes the
abort
listener. - name: string | symbol): Function[];
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] ] }
- ): number;
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 }

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

- emitter: EventEmitter,eventName: string | symbol,options?: StaticEventEmitterOptions): Promise<any[]>;
Creates a
Promise
that is fulfilled when theEventEmitter
emits the given event or that is rejected if theEventEmitter
emits'error'
while waiting. ThePromise
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 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: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!

class Server<Request extends typeof http.IncomingMessage = typeof http.IncomingMessage, Response extends typeof http.ServerResponse = typeof http.ServerResponse>
See
http.Server
for more information.- headersTimeout: number
Limit the amount of time the parser will wait to receive the complete HTTP headers.
If the timeout expires, the server responds with status 408 without forwarding the request to the request listener and then closes the connection.
It must be set to a non-zero value (e.g. 120 seconds) to protect against potential Denial-of-Service attacks in case the server is deployed without a reverse proxy in front.
- keepAliveTimeout: number
The number of milliseconds of inactivity a server needs to wait for additional incoming data, after it has finished writing the last response, before a socket will be destroyed. If the server receives new data before the keep-alive timeout has fired, it will reset the regular inactivity timeout, i.e.,
server.timeout
.A value of
0
will disable the keep-alive timeout behavior on incoming connections. A value of0
makes the http server behave similarly to Node.js versions prior to 8.0.0, which did not have a keep-alive timeout.The socket timeout logic is set up on connection, so changing this value only affects new connections to the server, not any existing connections.
- maxConnections: number
Set this property to reject connections when the server's connection count gets high.
It is not recommended to use this option once a socket has been sent to a child with
child_process.fork()
. - maxHeadersCount: null | number
Limits maximum incoming headers count. If set to 0, no limit will be applied.
- maxRequestsPerSocket: null | number
The maximum number of requests socket can handle before closing keep alive connection.
A value of
0
will disable the limit.When the limit is reached it will set the
Connection
header value toclose
, but will not actually close the connection, subsequent requests sent after the limit is reached will get503 Service Unavailable
as a response. - requestTimeout: number
Sets the timeout value in milliseconds for receiving the entire request from the client.
If the timeout expires, the server responds with status 408 without forwarding the request to the request listener and then closes the connection.
It must be set to a non-zero value (e.g. 120 seconds) to protect against potential Denial-of-Service attacks in case the server is deployed without a reverse proxy in front.
- timeout: number
The number of milliseconds of inactivity before a socket is presumed to have timed out.
A value of
0
will disable the timeout behavior on incoming connections.The socket timeout logic is set up on connection, so changing this value only affects new connections to the server, not any existing connections.
- static captureRejections: boolean
Value: boolean

captureRejections
option on all newEventEmitter
objects. - readonly static captureRejectionSymbol: typeof captureRejectionSymbol
Value:
Symbol.for('nodejs.rejection')
See how to write a custom
rejection handler
. - static defaultMaxListeners: number
By default, a maximum of
10
listeners can be registered for any single event. This limit can be changed for individualEventEmitter
instances using theemitter.setMaxListeners(n)
method. To change the default for allEventEmitter
instances, theevents.defaultMaxListeners
property can be used. If this value is not a positive number, aRangeError
is thrown.Take caution when setting the
events.defaultMaxListeners
because the change affects allEventEmitter
instances, including those created before the change is made. However, callingemitter.setMaxListeners(n)
still has precedence overevents.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 singleEventEmitter

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 additionalemitter
,type
, andcount
properties, referring to the event emitter instance, the event's name and the number of attached listeners, respectively. Itsname
property is set to'MaxListenersExceededWarning'
. - readonly static 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. Calls () and returns a promise that fulfills when the server has closed.
- hostname: string,): void;
The
server.addContext()
method adds a secure context that will be used if the client request's SNI name matches the suppliedhostname

- emit(event: string,...args: any[]): boolean;
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
Returns an array listing the events for which the emitter has registered listeners. The values in the array are strings or
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

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 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.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 theonce('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');

Listens once to the

.Listening to the
abort
event on abort signals is unsafe and may lead to resource leaks since another third party with the signal can calle.stopImmediatePropagation()

does not prevent the listener from running.Returns a disposable so that it may be unsubscribed from more easily.

Do not use // if concurrent execution is required. console.log(event); // prints ['bar'] [42] } // Unreachable here
Returns an
AsyncIterator
that iterateseventName
events. It will throw if theEventEmitter
emits'error'
. It removes all listeners when exiting the loop. Thevalue
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());

- emitter: EventEmitter,eventName: string | symbol,options?: StaticEventEmitterOptions): Promise<any[]>;
Creates a
Promise
that is fulfilled when theEventEmitter
emits the given event or that is rejected if theEventEmitter
emits'error'
while waiting. ThePromise
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 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: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!

@param optionsAccepts all
options
fromrequest
, with some differences in default values:
Type definitions
interface AgentOptions
- allowPartialTrustChain?: boolean
Treat intermediate (non-self-signed) certificates in the trust CA certificate list as trusted.
- ALPNCallback?: (arg: { protocols: string[]; servername: string }) => undefined | string
If set, this will be called when a client opens a connection using the ALPN extension. One argument will be passed to the callback: an object containing
servername
andprotocols
fields, respectively containing the server name from the SNI extension (if any) and an array of ALPN protocol name strings. The callback must return either one of the strings listed inprotocols
, which will be returned to the client as the selected ALPN protocol, orundefined
, to reject the connection with a fatal alert. If a string is returned that does not match one of the client's ALPN protocols, an error will be thrown. This option cannot be used with theALPNProtocols
option, and setting both options will throw an error. - ALPNProtocols?: Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike> | string[] | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>[]
An array of strings or a Buffer naming possible ALPN protocols. (Protocols should be ordered by their priority.)
- cert?: string | Buffer<ArrayBufferLike> | string | Buffer<ArrayBufferLike>[]
Cert chains in PEM format. One cert chain should be provided per private key. Each cert chain should consist of the PEM formatted certificate for a provided private key, followed by the PEM formatted intermediate certificates (if any), in order, and not including the root CA (the root CA must be pre-known to the peer, see ca). When providing multiple cert chains, they do not have to be in the same order as their private keys in key. If the intermediate certificates are not provided, the peer will not be able to validate the certificate, and the handshake will fail.
- ciphers?: string
Cipher suite specification, replacing the default. For more information, see modifying the default cipher suite. Permitted ciphers can be obtained via tls.getCiphers(). Cipher names must be uppercased in order for OpenSSL to accept them.
- ecdhCurve?: string
A string describing a named curve or a colon separated list of curve NIDs or names, for example P-521:P-384:P-256, to use for ECDH key agreement. Set to auto to select the curve automatically. Use crypto.getCurves() to obtain a list of available curve names. On recent releases, openssl ecparam -list_curves will also display the name and description of each available elliptic curve. Default: tls.DEFAULT_ECDH_CURVE.
- enableTrace?: boolean
When enabled, TLS packet trace information is written to
stderr
. This can be used to debug TLS connection problems. - honorCipherOrder?: boolean
Attempt to use the server's cipher suite preferences instead of the client's. When true, causes SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE to be set in secureOptions
- keepAlive?: boolean
Keep sockets around in a pool to be used by other requests in the future. Default = false
- keepAliveMsecs?: number
When using HTTP KeepAlive, how often to send TCP KeepAlive packets over sockets being kept alive. Default = 1000. Only relevant if keepAlive is set to true.
- key?: string | Buffer<ArrayBufferLike> | string | Buffer<ArrayBufferLike> | KeyObject[]
Private keys in PEM format. PEM allows the option of private keys being encrypted. Encrypted keys will be decrypted with options.passphrase. Multiple keys using different algorithms can be provided either as an array of unencrypted key strings or buffers, or an array of objects in the form {pem: <string|buffer>[, passphrase: <string>]}. The object form can only occur in an array. object.passphrase is optional. Encrypted keys will be decrypted with object.passphrase if provided, or options.passphrase if it is not.
- maxFreeSockets?: number
Maximum number of sockets to leave open in a free state. Only relevant if keepAlive is set to true. Default = 256.
- maxSockets?: number
Maximum number of sockets to allow per host. Default for Node 0.10 is 5, default for Node 0.12 is Infinity
- maxTotalSockets?: number
Maximum number of sockets allowed for all hosts in total. Each request will use a new socket until the maximum is reached. Default: Infinity.
- maxVersion?: SecureVersion
Optionally set the maximum TLS version to allow. One of
'TLSv1.3'
,'TLSv1.2'
,'TLSv1.1'
, or'TLSv1'
. Cannot be specified along with thesecureProtocol
option, use one or the other. Default:'TLSv1.3'
, unless changed using CLI options. Using--tls-max-v1.2
sets the default to'TLSv1.2'
. Using--tls-max-v1.3
sets the default to'TLSv1.3'
. If multiple of the options are provided, the highest maximum is used. - minVersion?: SecureVersion
Optionally set the minimum TLS version to allow. One of
'TLSv1.3'
,'TLSv1.2'
,'TLSv1.1'

. Cannot be specified along with thesecureProtocol
option, use one or the other. It is not recommended to use less than TLSv1.2, but it may be required for interoperability. Default:'TLSv1.2'
, unless changed using CLI options. Using--tls-v1.0
sets the default to'TLSv1'
. Using--tls-v1.1
sets the default to'TLSv1.1'
. Using--tls-min-v1.3
sets the default to 'TLSv1.3'. If multiple of the options are provided, the lowest minimum is used. - pfx?: string | Buffer<ArrayBufferLike> | string | Buffer<ArrayBufferLike> | PxfObject[]
PFX or PKCS12 encoded private key and certificate chain. pfx is an alternative to providing key and cert individually. PFX is usually encrypted, if it is, passphrase will be used to decrypt it. Multiple PFX can be provided either as an array of unencrypted PFX buffers, or an array of objects in the form {buf: <string|buffer>[, passphrase: <string>]}. The object form can only occur in an array. object.passphrase is optional. Encrypted PFX will be decrypted with object.passphrase if provided, or options.passphrase if it is not.
- requestCert?: boolean
If true the server will request a certificate from clients that connect and attempt to verify that certificate. Defaults to false.
- secureOptions?: number
Optionally affect the OpenSSL protocol behavior, which is not usually necessary. This should be used carefully if at all! Value is a numeric bitmask of the SSL_OP_* options from OpenSSL Options
- secureProtocol?: string
Legacy mechanism to select the TLS protocol version to use, it does not support independent control of the minimum and maximum version, and does not support limiting the protocol to TLSv1.3. Use minVersion and maxVersion instead. The possible values are listed as SSL_METHODS, use the function names as strings. For example, use 'TLSv1_1_method' to force TLS version 1.1, or 'TLS_method' to allow any TLS protocol version up to TLSv1.3. It is not recommended to use TLS versions less than 1.2, but it may be required for interoperability. Default: none, see minVersion.
- sessionIdContext?: string
Opaque identifier used by servers to ensure session state is not shared between applications. Unused by clients.
- sessionTimeout?: number
The number of seconds after which a TLS session created by the server will no longer be resumable. See Session Resumption for more information. Default: 300.
- sigalgs?: string
Colon-separated list of supported signature algorithms. The list can contain digest algorithms (SHA256, MD5 etc.), public key algorithms (RSA-PSS, ECDSA etc.), combination of both (e.g 'RSA+SHA384') or TLS v1.3 scheme names (e.g. rsa_pss_pss_sha512).
- SNICallback?: (servername: string, cb: (err: null | Error, ctx?: SecureContext) => void) => void
SNICallback(servername, cb) <Function> A function that will be called if the client supports SNI TLS extension. Two arguments will be passed when called: servername and cb. SNICallback should invoke cb(null, ctx), where ctx is a SecureContext instance. (tls.createSecureContext(...) can be used to get a proper SecureContext.) If SNICallback wasn't provided the default callback with high-level API will be used (see below).
- ticketKeys?: Buffer<ArrayBufferLike>
48-bytes of cryptographically strong pseudo-random data. See Session Resumption for more information.
- timeout?: number
Socket timeout in milliseconds. This will set the timeout after the socket is connected.
- hint: null | string
When negotiating TLS-PSK (pre-shared keys), this function is called with optional identity
hint
provided by the server ornull
in case of TLS 1.3 wherehint
was removed. It will be necessary to provide a customtls.checkServerIdentity()
for the connection as the default one will try to check hostname/IP of the server against the certificate but that's not applicable for PSK because there won't be a certificate present. More information can be found in the RFC 4279.@param hintmessage sent from the server to help client decide which identity to use during negotiation. Always
null
if TLS 1.3 is used.@returnsReturn
null
to stop the negotiation process.psk
