/** * Much of the Node.js core API is built around an idiomatic asynchronous * event-driven architecture in which certain kinds of objects (called "emitters") * emit named events that cause `Function` objects ("listeners") to be called. * * For instance: a `net.Server` object emits an event each time a peer * connects to it; a `fs.ReadStream` emits an event when the file is opened; * a `stream` emits an event whenever data is available to be read. * * All objects that emit events are instances of the `EventEmitter` class. These * objects expose an `eventEmitter.on()` function that allows one or more * functions to be attached to named events emitted by the object. Typically, * event names are camel-cased strings but any valid JavaScript property key * can be used. * * When the `EventEmitter` object emits an event, all of the functions attached * to that specific event are called _synchronously_. Any values returned by the * called listeners are _ignored_ and discarded. * * The following example shows a simple `EventEmitter` instance with a single * listener. The `eventEmitter.on()` method is used to register listeners, while * the `eventEmitter.emit()` method is used to trigger the event. * * ```js * const EventEmitter = require('events'); * * class MyEmitter extends EventEmitter {} * * const myEmitter = new MyEmitter(); * myEmitter.on('event', () => { * console.log('an event occurred!'); * }); * myEmitter.emit('event'); * ``` * @see [source](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v18.0.0/lib/events.js) */ declare module 'events' { interface EventEmitterOptions { /** * Enables automatic capturing of promise rejection. */ captureRejections?: boolean | undefined; } interface NodeEventTarget { once(eventName: string | symbol, listener: (...args: any[]) => void): this; } interface DOMEventTarget { addEventListener( eventName: string, listener: (...args: any[]) => void, opts?: { once: boolean; } ): any; } interface StaticEventEmitterOptions { signal?: AbortSignal | undefined; } interface EventEmitter extends NodeJS.EventEmitter {} /** * The `EventEmitter` class is defined and exposed by the `events` module: * * ```js * const EventEmitter = require('events'); * ``` * * All `EventEmitter`s emit the event `'newListener'` when new listeners are * added and `'removeListener'` when existing listeners are removed. * * It supports the following option: * @since v0.1.26 */ class EventEmitter { constructor(options?: EventEmitterOptions); /** * 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 * 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.
