Aliases of outgoingMessage.socket
Is true
after writable.destroy()
has been called.
Read-only. true
if the headers were sent, otherwise false
.
The request host.
Limits maximum response headers count. If set to 0, no limit will be applied.
The request method.
The request path.
The request protocol.
Whether the request is send through a reused socket.
Reference to the underlying socket. Usually, users will not want to access this property.
After calling outgoingMessage.end()
, this property will be nulled.
Is true
if it is safe to call writable.write()
, which means
the stream has not been destroyed, errored or ended.
Number of times writable.uncork()
needs to be
called in order to fully uncork the stream.
Is true
after writable.end()
has been called. This property
does not indicate whether the data has been flushed, for this use writable.writableFinished
instead.
Is set to true
immediately before the 'finish'
event is emitted.
Return the value of highWaterMark
passed when creating this Writable
.
This property contains the number of bytes (or objects) in the queue
ready to be written. The value provides introspection data regarding
the status of the highWaterMark
.
Getter for the property objectMode
of a given Writable
stream.
Marks the request as aborting. Calling this will cause remaining data in the response to be dropped and the socket to be destroyed.
Adds HTTP trailers (headers but at the end of the message) to the message.
Trailers are only be emitted if the message is chunked encoded. If not, the trailer will be silently discarded.
HTTP requires the Trailer
header to be sent to emit trailers,
with a list of header fields in its value, e.g.
message.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
'Trailer': 'Content-MD5' });
message.write(fileData);
message.addTrailers({ 'Content-MD5': '7895bf4b8828b55ceaf47747b4bca667' });
message.end();
Attempting to set a header field name or value that contains invalid characters
will result in a TypeError
being thrown.
The writable.cork()
method forces all written data to be buffered in memory.
The buffered data will be flushed when either the uncork or end methods are called.
The primary intent of writable.cork()
is to accommodate a situation in which
several small chunks are written to the stream in rapid succession. Instead of
immediately forwarding them to the underlying destination, writable.cork()
buffers all the chunks until writable.uncork()
is called, which will pass them
all to writable._writev()
, if present. This prevents a head-of-line blocking
situation where data is being buffered while waiting for the first small chunk
to be processed. However, use of writable.cork()
without implementingwritable._writev()
may have an adverse effect on throughput.

, writable._writev()
.
Destroy the stream. Optionally emit an 'error'
event, and emit a 'close'
event (unless emitClose
is set to false
). After this call, the writable
stream has ended and subsequent calls to write()
or end()
will result in
an ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED
error.
This is a destructive and immediate way to destroy a stream. Previous calls towrite()
may not have drained, and may trigger an ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED
error.
Use end()
instead of destroy if data should flush before close, or wait for
the 'drain'
event before destroying the stream.
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 writable._destroy()
.
Optional, an error to emit with 'error'
event.
Calling the writable.end()
method signals that no more data will be written
to the Writable
. The optional chunk
and encoding
arguments allow one
final additional chunk of data to be written immediately before closing the
stream.
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) ]
Compulsorily flushes the message headers
For efficiency reason, Node.js normally buffers the message headers
until outgoingMessage.end()
is called or the first chunk of message data
is written. It then tries to pack the headers and data into a single TCP
packet.
It is usually desired (it saves a TCP round-trip), but not when the first
data is not sent until possibly much later. outgoingMessage.flushHeaders()
bypasses the optimization and kickstarts the request.
Gets the value of HTTP header with the given name. If such a name doesn't
exist in message, it will be undefined
.
Name of header
Returns an array of names of headers of the outgoing outgoingMessage. All names are lowercase.
Returns a shallow copy of the current outgoing headers. Since a shallow copy is used, array values may be mutated without additional calls to various header-related HTTP module methods. The keys of the returned object are the header names and the values are the respective header values. All header names are lowercase.
The object returned by the outgoingMessage.getHeaders()
method does
not prototypically inherit from the JavaScript Object. This means that
typical Object methods such as obj.toString()
, obj.hasOwnProperty()
,
and others are not defined and will not work.
outgoingMessage.setHeader('Foo', 'bar');
outgoingMessage.setHeader('Set-Cookie', ['foo=bar', 'bar=baz']);
const headers = outgoingMessage.getHeaders();
// headers === { foo: 'bar', 'set-cookie': ['foo=bar', 'bar=baz'] }
Returns the current max listener value for the EventEmitter
which is either
set by emitter.setMaxListeners(n)
or defaults to {@link defaultMaxListeners}.
Returns an array containing the unique names of the current outgoing raw headers. Header names are returned with their exact casing being set.
request.setHeader('Foo', 'bar');
request.setHeader('Set-Cookie', ['foo=bar', 'bar=baz']);
const headerNames = request.getRawHeaderNames();
// headerNames === ['Foo', 'Set-Cookie']
Returns true
if the header identified by name
is currently set in the
outgoing headers. The header name is case-insensitive.
const hasContentType = outgoingMessage.hasHeader('content-type');
Returns the number of listeners listening to the event named eventName
.
The name of the event being listened for
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] ]
Alias for emitter.removeListener()
.
Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName
,
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');
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.
Removes a header that is queued for implicit sending.
outgoingMessage.removeHeader('Content-Encoding');
The writable.setDefaultEncoding()
method sets the default encoding
for a Writable
stream.
The new default encoding
Sets a single header value for the header object.
Header name
Header value
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.
Once a socket is assigned to this request and is connected socket.setNoDelay()
will be called.
Once a socket is assigned to this request and is connected socket.setKeepAlive()
will be called.
Once a socket is assigned to this request and is connected socket.setTimeout()
will be called.
Milliseconds before a request times out.
Optional function to be called when a timeout occurs. Same as binding to the 'timeout'
event.
The writable.uncork()
method flushes all data buffered since cork was called.
When using writable.cork()
and writable.uncork()
to manage the buffering
of writes to a stream, it is recommended that calls to writable.uncork()
be
deferred using process.nextTick()
. Doing so allows batching of allwritable.write()
calls that occur within a given Node.js event loop phase.
stream.cork();
stream.write('some ');
stream.write('data ');
process.nextTick(() => stream.uncork());
If the writable.cork()
method is called multiple times on a stream, the
same number of calls to writable.uncork()
must be called to flush the buffered
data.
stream.cork();
stream.write('some ');
stream.cork();
stream.write('data ');
process.nextTick(() => {
stream.uncork();
// The data will not be flushed until uncork() is called a second time.
stream.uncork();
});
See also: writable.cork()
.
The writable.write()
method writes some data to the stream, and calls the
supplied callback
once the data has been fully handled. If an error
occurs, the callback
will be called with the error as its
first argument. The callback
is called asynchronously and before 'error'
is
emitted.
The return value is true
if the internal buffer is less than thehighWaterMark
configured when the stream was created after admitting chunk
.
If false
is returned, further attempts to write data to the stream should
stop until the 'drain'
event is emitted.
While a stream is not draining, calls to write()
will buffer chunk
, and
return false. Once all currently buffered chunks are drained (accepted for
delivery by the operating system), the 'drain'
event will be emitted.
It is recommended that once write()
returns false, no more chunks be written
until the 'drain'
event is emitted. While calling write()
on a stream that
is not draining is allowed, Node.js will buffer all written chunks until
maximum memory usage occurs, at which point it will abort unconditionally.
Even before it aborts, high memory usage will cause poor garbage collector
performance and high RSS (which is not typically released back to the system,
even after the memory is no longer required). Since TCP sockets may never
drain if the remote peer does not read the data, writing a socket that is
not draining may lead to a remotely exploitable vulnerability.
Writing data while the stream is not draining is particularly
problematic for a Transform
, because the Transform
streams are paused
by default until they are piped or a 'data'
or 'readable'
event handler
is added.
If the data to be written can be generated or fetched on demand, it is
recommended to encapsulate the logic into a Readable
and use pipe. However, if calling write()
is preferred, it is
possible to respect backpressure and avoid memory issues using the 'drain'
event:
function write(data, cb) {
if (!stream.write(data)) {
stream.once('drain', cb);
} else {
process.nextTick(cb);
}
}
// Wait for cb to be called before doing any other write.
write('hello', () => {
console.log('Write completed, do more writes now.');
});
A Writable
stream in object mode will always ignore the encoding
argument.
Optional data to write. For streams not operating in object mode, chunk
must be a string, Buffer
or Uint8Array
. For object mode streams, chunk
may be any
JavaScript value other than null
.
Callback for when this chunk of data is flushed.
false
if the stream wishes for the calling code to wait for the 'drain'
event to be emitted before continuing to write additional data; otherwise true
.
