Once async completion is signalled, if another run is queued, it will be executed.
Synchronously calls each of the listeners registered for the event namedeventName
, in the order they were registered, passing the supplied arguments
to each.
Returns true
if the event had listeners, false
otherwise.
const EventEmitter = require('events');
const myEmitter = new EventEmitter();
// First listener
myEmitter.on('event', function firstListener() {
console.log('Helloooo! first listener');

Rest
...args: any[]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) ]
v6.0.0
Takes a string or function (task) and returns a timestamp of the last time the task was run successfully. The time will be the time the task started. Returns undefined if the task has not been run.
Task.
Optional
timeResolution: numberTime resolution.
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] ]
v0.1.26
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 eventName
and listener
will result in the listener
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. Theemitter.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
// a

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

v0.3.0

The callback function

,
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');
v9.4.0
Returns the current registry object.
The tasks from the current registry will be transferred to it and the current registry will be replaced with the new registry.
Instance of registry.
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.
v0.1.26
Optional
event: string | symbolRemoves 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');

Rest
...args: any[]Takes a variable amount of strings (taskName) and/or functions (fn) and returns a function of the composed tasks or functions. Any taskNames are retrieved from the registry using the get method.
When the returned function is executed, the tasks or functions will be executed in series, each waiting for the prior to finish. If an error occurs, execution will stop.
Rest
...tasks: Task[]List of tasks.
Takes a variable amount of strings (taskName) and/or functions (fn) and returns a function of the composed tasks or functions. Any taskNames are retrieved from the registry using the get method.
When the returned function is executed, the tasks or functions will be executed in series, each waiting for the prior to finish. If an error occurs, execution will stop.
List of tasks.
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.
