Methods
emit()
emit<K>(eventName: K, ...args: T[Extract<K, string>]): booleanSynchronously 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 listenermyEmitter.on('event', function firstListener() { console.log('Helloooo! first listener');});// Second listenermyEmitter.on('event', function secondListener(arg1, arg2) { console.log(`event with parameters ${arg1}, ${arg2} in second listener`);});// Third listenermyEmitter.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 listenerType Parameters

eventName | K |
listener | (…args: T[Extract<K, string>]) => void |
Returns

Overrides
EventEmitter.off
Since
v10.0.0
Defined in
on()
on<K>(eventName: K, listener: (...args: T[Extract<K, string>]) => void): thisAdds 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. 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// aType Parameters

EventEmitter.on
Since
v0.1.101
Defined in
once()
once<K>(eventName: K, listener: (...args: T[Extract<K, string>]) => void): thisAdds a one-time listener function for the event named eventName. The
next time eventName 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// aType Parameters
