--- editLink: false lastUpdated: false --- [@salesforce/b2c-tooling-sdk](../../../modules.md) / [operations/debug](../index.md) / B2CScriptDebugAdapter # Class: B2CScriptDebugAdapter Defined in: [packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/src/operations/debug/dap-adapter.ts:81](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling/blob/e7c16f1ae423da0aa47b3e10be88f9770b53619b/packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/src/operations/debug/dap-adapter.ts#L81) B2C Script Debug Adapter. Can be used in two modes: 1. **Pre-configured**: Pass a `DebugSessionConfig` to the constructor (for inline VSCode use) 2. **Launch-configured**: Config comes from DAP launch request arguments (for CLI stdio use) ## Extends - `LoggingDebugSession` ## Constructors ### Constructor > **new B2CScriptDebugAdapter**(`config?`, `callbacks?`): `B2CScriptDebugAdapter` Defined in: [packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/src/operations/debug/dap-adapter.ts:94](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling/blob/e7c16f1ae423da0aa47b3e10be88f9770b53619b/packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/src/operations/debug/dap-adapter.ts#L94) #### Parameters ##### config? [`DebugSessionConfig`](../interfaces/DebugSessionConfig.md) ##### callbacks? [`DebugSessionCallbacks`](../interfaces/DebugSessionCallbacks.md) = `{}` #### Returns `B2CScriptDebugAdapter` #### Overrides `LoggingDebugSession.constructor` ## Properties ### onDidSendMessage > **onDidSendMessage**: `Event0`\<`DebugProtocolMessage`\> Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/protocol.d.ts:33 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.onDidSendMessage` *** ### captureRejections > `static` **captureRejections**: `boolean` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:425 Value: [boolean](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Boolean_type) Change the default `captureRejections` option on all new `EventEmitter` objects. #### Since v13.4.0, v12.16.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.captureRejections` *** ### captureRejectionSymbol > `readonly` `static` **captureRejectionSymbol**: *typeof* [`captureRejectionSymbol`](#capturerejectionsymbol) Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:418 Value: `Symbol.for('nodejs.rejection')` See how to write a custom `rejection handler`. #### Since v13.4.0, v12.16.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.captureRejectionSymbol` *** ### defaultMaxListeners > `static` **defaultMaxListeners**: `number` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:464 By default, a maximum of `10` listeners can be registered for any single event. This limit can be changed for individual `EventEmitter` instances using the `emitter.setMaxListeners(n)` method. To change the default for _all_`EventEmitter` instances, the `events.defaultMaxListeners` property can be used. If this value is not a positive number, a `RangeError` is thrown. Take caution when setting the `events.defaultMaxListeners` because the change affects _all_ `EventEmitter` instances, including those created before the change is made. However, calling `emitter.setMaxListeners(n)` still has precedence over `events.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 single `EventEmitter`, the `emitter.getMaxListeners()` and `emitter.setMaxListeners()` methods can be used to temporarily avoid this warning: ```js 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 additional `emitter`, `type`, and `count` properties, referring to the event emitter instance, the event's name and the number of attached listeners, respectively. Its `name` property is set to `'MaxListenersExceededWarning'`. #### Since v0.11.2 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.defaultMaxListeners` *** ### errorMonitor > `readonly` `static` **errorMonitor**: *typeof* [`errorMonitor`](#errormonitor) Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:411 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. #### Since v13.6.0, v12.17.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.errorMonitor` ## Methods ### \[captureRejectionSymbol\]()? > `optional` **\[captureRejectionSymbol\]**\<`K`\>(`error`, `event`, ...`args`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:103 #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### error `Error` ##### event `string` | `symbol` ##### args ...`AnyRest` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.[captureRejectionSymbol]` *** ### addListener() > **addListener**\<`K`\>(`eventName`, `listener`): `this` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:642 Alias for `emitter.on(eventName, listener)`. #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName `string` | `symbol` ##### listener (...`args`) => `void` #### Returns `this` #### Since v0.1.26 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.addListener` *** ### dispose() > **dispose**(): `any` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/protocol.d.ts:32 #### Returns `any` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.dispose` *** ### emit() > **emit**\<`K`\>(`eventName`, ...`args`): `boolean` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:904 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. ```js 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 ``` #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName `string` | `symbol` ##### args ...`AnyRest` #### Returns `boolean` #### Since v0.1.26 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.emit` *** ### eventNames() > **eventNames**(): (`string` \| `symbol`)[] Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:967 Returns an array listing the events for which the emitter has registered listeners. The values in the array are strings or `Symbol`s. ```js 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 (`string` \| `symbol`)[] #### Since v6.0.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.eventNames` *** ### getMaxListeners() > **getMaxListeners**(): `number` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:819 Returns the current max listener value for the `EventEmitter` which is either set by `emitter.setMaxListeners(n)` or defaults to [EventEmitter.defaultMaxListeners](#defaultmaxlisteners). #### Returns `number` #### Since v1.0.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.getMaxListeners` *** ### handleMessage() > **handleMessage**(`msg`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/protocol.d.ts:34 #### Parameters ##### msg `ProtocolMessage` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.handleMessage` *** ### listenerCount() > **listenerCount**\<`K`\>(`eventName`, `listener?`): `number` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:913 Returns the number of listeners listening for the event named `eventName`. If `listener` is provided, it will return how many times the listener is found in the list of the listeners of the event. #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName The name of the event being listened for `string` | `symbol` ##### listener? `Function` The event handler function #### Returns `number` #### Since v3.2.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.listenerCount` *** ### listeners() > **listeners**\<`K`\>(`eventName`): `Function`[] Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:832 Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named `eventName`. ```js server.on('connection', (stream) => { console.log('someone connected!'); }); console.log(util.inspect(server.listeners('connection'))); // Prints: [ [Function] ] ``` #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName `string` | `symbol` #### Returns `Function`[] #### Since v0.1.26 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.listeners` *** ### off() > **off**\<`K`\>(`eventName`, `listener`): `this` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:792 Alias for `emitter.removeListener()`. #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName `string` | `symbol` ##### listener (...`args`) => `void` #### Returns `this` #### Since v10.0.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.off` *** ### on() > **on**\<`K`\>(`eventName`, `listener`): `this` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:674 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. ```js 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. ```js 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 ``` #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName The name of the event. `string` | `symbol` ##### listener (...`args`) => `void` The callback function #### Returns `this` #### Since v0.1.101 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.on` *** ### once() > **once**\<`K`\>(`eventName`, `listener`): `this` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:704 Adds a **one-time** `listener` function for the event named `eventName`. The next time `eventName` is triggered, this listener is removed and then invoked. ```js 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. ```js 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 ``` #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName The name of the event. `string` | `symbol` ##### listener (...`args`) => `void` The callback function #### Returns `this` #### Since v0.3.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.once` *** ### prependListener() > **prependListener**\<`K`\>(`eventName`, `listener`): `this` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:931 Adds the `listener` function to the _beginning_ 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. ```js server.prependListener('connection', (stream) => { console.log('someone connected!'); }); ``` Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained. #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName The name of the event. `string` | `symbol` ##### listener (...`args`) => `void` The callback function #### Returns `this` #### Since v6.0.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.prependListener` *** ### prependOnceListener() > **prependOnceListener**\<`K`\>(`eventName`, `listener`): `this` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:947 Adds a **one-time**`listener` function for the event named `eventName` to the _beginning_ of the listeners array. The next time `eventName` is triggered, this listener is removed, and then invoked. ```js server.prependOnceListener('connection', (stream) => { console.log('Ah, we have our first user!'); }); ``` Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained. #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName The name of the event. `string` | `symbol` ##### listener (...`args`) => `void` The callback function #### Returns `this` #### Since v6.0.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.prependOnceListener` *** ### rawListeners() > **rawListeners**\<`K`\>(`eventName`): `Function`[] Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:863 Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named `eventName`, including any wrappers (such as those created by `.once()`). ```js 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'); ``` #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName `string` | `symbol` #### Returns `Function`[] #### Since v9.4.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.rawListeners` *** ### removeAllListeners() > **removeAllListeners**(`eventName?`): `this` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:803 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. #### Parameters ##### eventName? `string` | `symbol` #### Returns `this` #### Since v0.1.26 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.removeAllListeners` *** ### removeListener() > **removeListener**\<`K`\>(`eventName`, `listener`): `this` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:787 Removes the specified `listener` from the listener array for the event named `eventName`. ```js 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 any `removeListener()` or `removeAllListeners()` calls _after_ emitting and _before_ the last listener finishes execution will not remove them from`emit()` in progress. Subsequent events behave as expected. ```js 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 the `once('ping')` listener is removed: ```js 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. #### Type Parameters ##### K `K` #### Parameters ##### eventName `string` | `symbol` ##### listener (...`args`) => `void` #### Returns `this` #### Since v0.1.26 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.removeListener` *** ### runInTerminalRequest() > **runInTerminalRequest**(`args`, `timeout`, `cb`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/debugSession.d.ts:181 #### Parameters ##### args `RunInTerminalRequestArguments` ##### timeout `number` ##### cb (`response`) => `void` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.runInTerminalRequest` *** ### sendEvent() > **sendEvent**(`event`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/loggingDebugSession.d.ts:11 Overload sendEvent to log #### Parameters ##### event `Event` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.sendEvent` *** ### sendRequest() > **sendRequest**(`command`, `args`, `timeout`, `cb`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/loggingDebugSession.d.ts:15 Overload sendRequest to log #### Parameters ##### command `string` ##### args `any` ##### timeout `number` ##### cb (`response`) => `void` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.sendRequest` *** ### sendResponse() > **sendResponse**(`response`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/loggingDebugSession.d.ts:19 Overload sendResponse to log #### Parameters ##### response `Response` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.sendResponse` *** ### setDebuggerColumnsStartAt1() > **setDebuggerColumnsStartAt1**(`enable`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/debugSession.d.ts:173 #### Parameters ##### enable `boolean` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.setDebuggerColumnsStartAt1` *** ### setDebuggerLinesStartAt1() > **setDebuggerLinesStartAt1**(`enable`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/debugSession.d.ts:172 #### Parameters ##### enable `boolean` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.setDebuggerLinesStartAt1` *** ### setDebuggerPathFormat() > **setDebuggerPathFormat**(`format`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/debugSession.d.ts:171 #### Parameters ##### format `string` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.setDebuggerPathFormat` *** ### setMaxListeners() > **setMaxListeners**(`n`): `this` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:813 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 to `Infinity` (or `0`) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners. Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained. #### Parameters ##### n `number` #### Returns `this` #### Since v0.3.5 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.setMaxListeners` *** ### setRunAsServer() > **setRunAsServer**(`enable`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/debugSession.d.ts:174 #### Parameters ##### enable `boolean` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.setRunAsServer` *** ### shutdown() > **shutdown**(): `void` Defined in: [packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/src/operations/debug/dap-adapter.ts:108](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling/blob/e7c16f1ae423da0aa47b3e10be88f9770b53619b/packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/src/operations/debug/dap-adapter.ts#L108) Override shutdown to prevent the base class from calling process.exit(). Process lifecycle is managed by the CLI command, not the adapter. #### Returns `void` #### Overrides `LoggingDebugSession.shutdown` *** ### start() > **start**(`inStream`, `outStream`): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/loggingDebugSession.d.ts:7 #### Parameters ##### inStream `ReadableStream` ##### outStream `WritableStream` #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.start` *** ### stop() > **stop**(): `void` Defined in: node\_modules/@vscode/debugadapter/lib/protocol.d.ts:37 #### Returns `void` #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.stop` *** ### addAbortListener() > `static` **addAbortListener**(`signal`, `resource`): `Disposable` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:403 Listens once to the `abort` event on the provided `signal`. Listening to the `abort` event on abort signals is unsafe and may lead to resource leaks since another third party with the signal can call `e.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 that `stopImmediatePropagation` does not prevent the listener from running. Returns a disposable so that it may be unsubscribed from more easily. ```js 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](); } } ``` #### Parameters ##### signal `AbortSignal` ##### resource (`event`) => `void` #### Returns `Disposable` Disposable that removes the `abort` listener. #### Since v20.5.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.addAbortListener` *** ### getEventListeners() > `static` **getEventListeners**(`emitter`, `name`): `Function`[] Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:325 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. ```js 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] ] } ``` #### Parameters ##### emitter `EventEmitter`\<`DefaultEventMap`\> | `EventTarget` ##### name `string` | `symbol` #### Returns `Function`[] #### Since v15.2.0, v14.17.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.getEventListeners` *** ### getMaxListeners() > `static` **getMaxListeners**(`emitter`): `number` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:354 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. ```js 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 ##### emitter `EventEmitter`\<`DefaultEventMap`\> | `EventTarget` #### Returns `number` #### Since v19.9.0 #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.getMaxListeners` *** ### ~~listenerCount()~~ > `static` **listenerCount**(`emitter`, `eventName`): `number` Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:297 A class method that returns the number of listeners for the given `eventName` registered on the given `emitter`. ```js import { EventEmitter, listenerCount } from 'node:events'; const myEmitter = new EventEmitter(); myEmitter.on('event', () => {}); myEmitter.on('event', () => {}); console.log(listenerCount(myEmitter, 'event')); // Prints: 2 ``` #### Parameters ##### emitter `EventEmitter` The emitter to query ##### eventName The event name `string` | `symbol` #### Returns `number` #### Since v0.9.12 #### Deprecated Since v3.2.0 - Use `listenerCount` instead. #### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.listenerCount` *** ### on() #### Call Signature > `static` **on**(`emitter`, `eventName`, `options?`): `AsyncIterator`\<`any`[]\> Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:270 ```js import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; import process from 'node:process'; 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 `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: ```js 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 `close` option to specify an array of event names that will end the iteration: ```js import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; import process from 'node:process'; const ee = new EventEmitter(); // Emit later on process.nextTick(() => { ee.emit('foo', 'bar'); ee.emit('foo', 42); ee.emit('close'); }); for await (const event of on(ee, 'foo', { close: ['close'] })) { console.log(event); // prints ['bar'] [42] } // the loop will exit after 'close' is emitted console.log('done'); // prints 'done' ``` ##### Parameters ###### emitter `EventEmitter` ###### eventName `string` | `symbol` ###### options? `StaticEventEmitterIteratorOptions` ##### Returns `AsyncIterator`\<`any`[]\> An `AsyncIterator` that iterates `eventName` events emitted by the `emitter` ##### Since v13.6.0, v12.16.0 ##### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.on` #### Call Signature > `static` **on**(`emitter`, `eventName`, `options?`): `AsyncIterator`\<`any`[]\> Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:275 ```js import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; import process from 'node:process'; 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 })(); process.nextTick(() => ac.abort()); ``` Use the `close` option to specify an array of event names that will end the iteration: ```js import { on, EventEmitter } from 'node:events'; import process from 'node:process'; const ee = new EventEmitter(); // Emit later on process.nextTick(() => { ee.emit('foo', 'bar'); ee.emit('foo', 42); ee.emit('close'); }); for await (const event of on(ee, 'foo', { close: ['close'] })) { console.log(event); // prints ['bar'] [42] } // the loop will exit after 'close' is emitted console.log('done'); // prints 'done' ``` ##### Parameters ###### emitter `EventTarget` ###### eventName `string` ###### options? `StaticEventEmitterIteratorOptions` ##### Returns `AsyncIterator`\<`any`[]\> An `AsyncIterator` that iterates `eventName` events emitted by the `emitter` ##### Since v13.6.0, v12.16.0 ##### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.on` *** ### once() #### Call Signature > `static` **once**(`emitter`, `eventName`, `options?`): `Promise`\<`any`[]\> Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:184 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](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-eventtarget) interface, which has no special`'error'` event semantics and does not listen to the `'error'` event. ```js 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 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: ```js 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: ```js 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! ``` ##### Parameters ###### emitter `EventEmitter` ###### eventName `string` | `symbol` ###### options? `StaticEventEmitterOptions` ##### Returns `Promise`\<`any`[]\> ##### Since v11.13.0, v10.16.0 ##### Inherited from `LoggingDebugSession.once` #### Call Signature > `static` **once**(`emitter`, `eventName`, `options?`): `Promise`\<`any`[]\> Defined in: node\_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:189 Creates a `Promise` that is fulfilled when the `EventEmitter` emits the given event or that is rejected if the `EventEmitter` emits `'error'` while waiting.
