Constructors

Properties

_count: number = 0

Object (resource) counter

_line: number = 0

Line counter

_stringBuffer: string = ""

Cache the string contents that we have read so far until we reach a new line

allowHalfOpen: boolean

If false then the stream will automatically end the writable side when the readable side ends. Set initially by the allowHalfOpen constructor option, which defaults to false.

This can be changed manually to change the half-open behavior of an existingDuplex stream instance, but must be changed before the 'end' event is emitted.

since

v0.9.4

bufferSize: number = 0

The buffer size as number of utf8 characters

closed: boolean
destroyed: boolean

Is true after readable.destroy() has been called.

since

v18.0.0

errored: null | Error
options: ParseNDJSONOptions = ...
readable: boolean

Is true if it is safe to call readable.read(), which means the stream has not been destroyed or emitted 'error' or 'end'.

since

v11.4.0

readableAborted: boolean

Returns whether the stream was destroyed or errored before emitting 'end'.

since

v16.8.0

experimental
readableDidRead: boolean

Returns whether 'data' has been emitted.

since

v16.7.0, v14.18.0

experimental
readableEncoding: null | BufferEncoding

Getter for the property encoding of a given Readable stream. The encodingproperty can be set using the readable.setEncoding() method.

since

v12.7.0

readableEnded: boolean

Becomes true when 'end' event is emitted.

since

v12.9.0

readableFlowing: null | boolean

This property reflects the current state of a Readable stream as described in the Three states section.

since

v9.4.0

readableHighWaterMark: number

Returns the value of highWaterMark passed when creating this Readable.

since

v9.3.0

readableLength: number

This property contains the number of bytes (or objects) in the queue ready to be read. The value provides introspection data regarding the status of the highWaterMark.

since

v9.4.0

readableObjectMode: boolean

Getter for the property objectMode of a given Readable stream.

since

v12.3.0

writable: boolean
writableCorked: number
writableEnded: boolean
writableFinished: boolean
writableHighWaterMark: number
writableLength: number
writableNeedDrain: boolean
writableObjectMode: boolean
captureRejectionSymbol: typeof captureRejectionSymbol
captureRejections: boolean

Sets or gets the default captureRejection value for all emitters.

defaultMaxListeners: number
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.

  • Returns void

  • Destroy the stream. Optionally emit an 'error' event, and emit a 'close'event (unless emitClose is set to false). After this call, the readable stream will release any internal resources and subsequent calls to push()will be ignored.

    Once destroy() has been called any further calls will be a no-op and no further errors except from _destroy() may be emitted as 'error'.

    Implementors should not override this method, but instead implement readable._destroy().

  • The readable.pause() method will cause a stream in flowing mode to stop emitting 'data' events, switching out of flowing mode. Any data that becomes available will remain in the internal buffer.

    const readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();
    readable.on('data', (chunk) => {
    console.log(`Received ${chunk.length} bytes of data.`);
    readable.pause();
    console.log('There will be no additional data for 1 second.');
    setTimeout(() => {
    console.log('Now data will start flowing again.');
    readable.resume();
    }, 1000);
    });

    The readable.pause() method has no effect if there is a 'readable'event listener.

    Returns Function[]

  • read(size?: number): any
  • The readable.read() method reads data out of the internal buffer and returns it. If no data is available to be read, null is returned. By default, the data is returned as a Buffer object unless an encoding has been specified using the readable.setEncoding() method or the stream is operating in object mode.

    The optional size argument specifies a specific number of bytes to read. Ifsize bytes are not available to be read, null will be returned _unless_the stream has ended, in which case all of the data remaining in the internal buffer will be returned.

    If the size argument is not specified, all of the data contained in the internal buffer will be returned.

    The size argument must be less than or equal to 1 GiB.

    The readable.read() method should only be called on Readable streams operating in paused mode. In flowing mode, readable.read() is called automatically until the internal buffer is fully drained.

    const readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();

    // 'readable' may be triggered multiple times as data is buffered in
    readable.on('readable', () => {
    let chunk;
    console.log('Stream is readable (new data received in buffer)');
    // Use a loop to make sure we read all currently available data
    while (null !== (chunk = readable.read())) {
    console.log(`Read ${chunk.length} bytes of data...`);
    }
    });

    // 'end' will be triggered once when there is no more data available
    readable.on('end', () => {
    console.log('Reached end of stream.');
    });

    Each call to readable.read() returns a chunk of data, or null. The chunks are not concatenated. A while loop is necessary to consume all data currently in the buffer. When reading a large file .read() may return null, having consumed all buffered content so far, but there is still more data to come not yet buffered. In this case a new 'readable' event will be emitted when there is more data in the buffer. Finally the 'end' event will be emitted when there is no more data to come.

    Therefore to read a file's whole contents from a readable, it is necessary to collect chunks across multiple 'readable' events:

    const chunks = [];

    readable.on('readable', () => {
    let chunk;
    while (null !== (chunk = readable.read())) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
    }
    });

    readable.on('end', () => {
    const content = chunks.join('');
    });

    A Readable stream in object mode will always return a single item from a call to readable.read(size), regardless of the value of thesize argument.

    If the readable.read() method returns a chunk of data, a 'data' event will also be emitted.

    Calling read after the 'end' event has been emitted will return null. No runtime error will be raised.

    Parameters

    • Optional size: number

      Optional argument to specify how much data to read.

    Returns any

  • removeAllListeners(event?: string | symbol): ParseNDJSON
  • 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.

  • The readable.resume() method causes an explicitly paused Readable stream to resume emitting 'data' events, switching the stream into flowing mode.

    The readable.resume() method can be used to fully consume the data from a stream without actually processing any of that data:

    getReadableStreamSomehow()
    .resume()
    .on('end', () => {
    console.log('Reached the end, but did not read anything.');
    });

    The readable.resume() method has no effect if there is a 'readable'event listener.

    v0.9.4

    Returns ParseNDJSON

  • setDefaultEncoding(encoding: BufferEncoding): ParseNDJSON
  • Parameters

    • encoding: BufferEncoding

    Returns ParseNDJSON

  • The readable.setEncoding() method sets the character encoding for data read from the Readable stream.

    By default, no encoding is assigned and stream data will be returned asBuffer objects. Setting an encoding causes the stream data to be returned as strings of the specified encoding rather than as Bufferobjects. For instance, calling readable.setEncoding('utf8') will cause the output data to be interpreted as UTF-8 data, and passed as strings. Callingreadable.setEncoding('hex') will cause the data to be encoded in hexadecimal string format.

    The Readable stream will properly handle multi-byte characters delivered through the stream that would otherwise become improperly decoded if simply pulled from the stream as Buffer objects.

    const readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();
    readable.setEncoding('utf8');
    readable.on('data', (chunk) => {
    assert.equal(typeof chunk, 'string');
    console.log('Got %d characters of string data:', chunk.length);
    });

    v0.9.4

    Parameters

    • encoding: BufferEncoding

      The encoding to use.

    Returns ParseNDJSON

  • By default EventEmitters 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.

    v0.3.5

    Parameters

    • n: number

    Returns ParseNDJSON

  • uncork(): void
  • Returns void

  • The readable.unpipe() method detaches a Writable stream previously attached using the pipe method.

    If the destination is not specified, then all pipes are detached.

    If the destination is specified, but no pipe is set up for it, then the method does nothing.

    const fs = require('fs');
    const readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();
    const writable = fs.createWriteStream('file.txt');
    // All the data from readable goes into 'file.txt',
    // but only for the first second.
    readable.pipe(writable);
    setTimeout(() => {
    console.log('Stop writing to file.txt.');
    readable.unpipe(writable);
    console.log('Manually close the file stream.');
    writable.end();
    }, 1000);
    since

    v0.9.4

    Parameters

    • Optional destination: WritableStream

      Optional specific stream to unpipe

    Returns ParseNDJSON

  • unshift(chunk: any, encoding?: BufferEncoding): void
  • Passing chunk as null signals the end of the stream (EOF) and behaves the same as readable.push(null), after which no more data can be written. The EOF signal is put at the end of the buffer and any buffered data will still be flushed.

    The readable.unshift() method pushes a chunk of data back into the internal buffer. This is useful in certain situations where a stream is being consumed by code that needs to "un-consume" some amount of data that it has optimistically pulled out of the source, so that the data can be passed on to some other party.

    The stream.unshift(chunk) method cannot be called after the 'end' event has been emitted or a runtime error will be thrown.

    Developers using stream.unshift() often should consider switching to use of a Transform stream instead. See the API for stream implementers section for more information.

    // Pull off a header delimited by \n\n.
    // Use unshift() if we get too much.
    // Call the callback with (error, header, stream).
    const { StringDecoder } = require('string_decoder');
    function parseHeader(stream, callback) {
    stream.on('error', callback);
    stream.on('readable', onReadable);
    const decoder = new StringDecoder('utf8');
    let header = '';
    function onReadable() {
    let chunk;
    while (null !== (chunk = stream.read())) {
    const str = decoder.write(chunk);
    if (str.includes('\n\n')) {
    // Found the header boundary.
    const split = str.split(/\n\n/);
    header += split.shift();
    const remaining = split.join('\n\n');
    const buf = Buffer.from(remaining, 'utf8');
    stream.removeListener('error', callback);
    // Remove the 'readable' listener before unshifting.
    stream.removeListener('readable', onReadable);
    if (buf.length)
    stream.unshift(buf);
    // Now the body of the message can be read from the stream.
    callback(null, header, stream);
    return;
    }
    // Still reading the header.
    header += str;
    }
    }
    }

    Unlike push, stream.unshift(chunk) will not end the reading process by resetting the internal reading state of the stream. This can cause unexpected results if readable.unshift() is called during a read (i.e. from within a _read implementation on a custom stream). Following the call to readable.unshift() with an immediate push will reset the reading state appropriately, however it is best to simply avoid calling readable.unshift() while in the process of performing a read.

    v0.9.11

    Parameters

    • chunk: any

      Chunk of data to unshift onto the read queue. For streams not operating in object mode, chunk must be a string, Buffer, Uint8Array or null. For object mode streams, chunk may be any JavaScript value.

    • Optional encoding: BufferEncoding

      Encoding of string chunks. Must be a valid Buffer encoding, such as 'utf8' or 'ascii'.

    Returns void

  • Prior to Node.js 0.10, streams did not implement the entire stream module API as it is currently defined. (See Compatibility for more information.)

    When using an older Node.js library that emits 'data' events and has a pause method that is advisory only, thereadable.wrap() method can be used to create a Readable stream that uses the old stream as its data source.

    It will rarely be necessary to use readable.wrap() but the method has been provided as a convenience for interacting with older Node.js applications and libraries.

    const { OldReader } = require('./old-api-module.js');
    const { Readable } = require('stream');
    const oreader = new OldReader();
    const myReader = new Readable().wrap(oreader);

    myReader.on('readable', () => {
    myReader.read(); // etc.
    });

  • getEventListeners(emitter: EventEmitter | _DOMEventTarget, name: string | symbol): Function[]
  • Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName.

    For EventEmitters this behaves exactly the same as calling .listeners on the emitter.

    const { getEventListeners, EventEmitter } = require('events');

    {
    const ee = new EventEmitter();
    const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun');
    ee.on('foo', listener);
    getEventListeners(ee, 'foo'); // [listener]

    myEmitter.on('event', () => {});
    myEmitter.on('event', () => {});
    console.log(listenerCount(myEmitter, 'event'));
    // Prints: 2

    deprecated

    Since v3.2.0 - Use listenerCount instead.

    Parameters

    • emitter: EventEmitter

      The emitter to query

    • eventName: string | symbol

      The event name

    Returns number

  • on(emitter: EventEmitter, eventName: string, options?: StaticEventEmitterOptions): AsyncIterableIterator<any>
  • ```js 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 `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
    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());

    v13.6.0, v12.16.0

    Parameters

    • emitter: EventEmitter
    • eventName: string

      The name of the event being listened for

    • Optional options: StaticEventEmitterOptions

    Returns AsyncIterableIterator<any>

    that iterates eventName events emitted by the emitter

  • once(emitter: _NodeEventTarget, eventName: string | symbol, options?: StaticEventEmitterOptions): Promise<any[]>
  • once(emitter: _DOMEventTarget, eventName: string, options?: StaticEventEmitterOptions): Promise<any[]>
  • 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 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 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:

    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 boom

    An AbortSignal can 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!
