complete

complete: boolean

The message.complete property will be true if a complete HTTP message has been received and successfully parsed.

This property is particularly useful as a means of determining if a client or server fully transmitted a message before a connection was terminated:

const req = http.request({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 8080,
method: 'POST',
}, (res) => {
res.resume();
res.on('end', () => {
if (!res.complete)
console.error(
'The connection was terminated while the message was still being sent');
});
});

Since

v0.3.0

Inherited from

headers

headers: IncomingHttpHeaders

The request/response headers object.

Key-value pairs of header names and values. Header names are lower-cased.

// Prints something like:
//
// { 'user-agent': 'curl/7.22.0',
// host: '127.0.0.1:8000',
// accept: '*' }
console.log(request.headers);

Duplicates in raw headers are handled in the following ways, depending on the header name:

  • Duplicates of age, authorization, content-length, content-type, etag, expires, from, host, if-modified-since, if-unmodified-since, last-modified, location, max-forwards, proxy-authorization, referer, retry-after, server, or user-agent are discarded. To allow duplicate values of the headers listed above to be joined, use the option joinDuplicateHeaders in request and createServer. See RFC 9110 Section 5.3 for more information.
  • set-cookie is always an array. Duplicates are added to the array.
  • For duplicate cookie headers, the values are joined together with ; .
  • For all other headers, the values are joined together with , .

Since

v0.1.5

Inherited from

Omit.headers


headersDistinct

// Prints something like:
//
// [ 'user-agent',
// 'this is invalid because there can be only one',

every()

every(fn, options?): Promise<boolean>

This method is similar to Array.prototype.every and calls fn on each chunk in the stream to check if all awaited return values are truthy value for fn. Once an fn call on a chunk awaited return value is falsy, the stream is destroyed and the promise is fulfilled with false. If all of the fn calls on the chunks return a truthy value, the promise is fulfilled with true.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
fn(data, options?) => boolean | Promise<boolean>a function to call on each chunk of the stream. Async or not.
options?ArrayOptions-

Returns

Promise<boolean>

a promise evaluating to true if fn returned a truthy value for every one of the chunks.

Inherited from

Omit.every

Since

v17.5.0


filter()

filter(fn, options?): Readable

This method allows filtering the stream. For each chunk in the stream the fn function will be called and if it returns a truthy value, the chunk will be passed to the result stream. If the fn function returns a promise - that promise will be awaited.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
fn(data, options?) => boolean | Promise<boolean>a function to filter chunks from the stream. Async or not.
options?ArrayOptions-

Returns

Readable

a stream filtered with the predicate fn.

Inherited from

Omit.filter

Since

v17.4.0, v16.14.0


find()

find(fn, options)

find<T>(fn, options?): Promise<T>

This method is similar to Array.prototype.find and calls fn on each chunk in the stream to find a chunk with a truthy value for fn. Once an fn call's awaited return value is truthy, the stream is destroyed and the promise is fulfilled with value for which fn returned a truthy value. If all of the fn calls on the chunks return a falsy value, the promise is fulfilled with undefined.

Type parameters
Type parameter
T
Parameters
ParameterTypeDescription
fn(data, options?) => data is Ta function to call on each chunk of the stream. Async or not.
options?ArrayOptions-
Returns

Promise<T>

a promise evaluating to the first chunk for which fn evaluated with a truthy value, or undefined if no element was found.

flatMap()

flatMap(fn, options?): Readable

This method returns a new stream by applying the given callback to each chunk of the stream and then flattening the result.

It is possible to return a stream or another iterable or async iterable from fn and the result streams will be merged (flattened) into the returned stream.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
fn(data, options?) => anya function to map over every chunk in the stream. May be async. May be a stream or generator.
options?ArrayOptions-

Returns

Readable

a stream flat-mapped with the function fn.

Inherited from

Omit.flatMap

Since

v17.5.0


forEach()

forEach(fn, options?): Promise<void>

This method allows iterating a stream. For each chunk in the stream the fn function will be called. If the fn function returns a promise - that promise will be awaited.

This method is different from for await...of loops in that it can optionally process chunks concurrently. In addition, a forEach iteration can only be stopped by having passed a signal option and aborting the related AbortController while for await...of can be stopped with break or return. In either case the stream will be destroyed.

This method is different from listening to the 'data' event in that it uses the readable event in the underlying machinary and can limit the number of concurrent fn calls.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
fn(data, options?) => void | Promise<void>a function to call on each chunk of the stream. Async or not.
options?ArrayOptions-

Returns

Promise<void>

a promise for when the stream has finished.

pause()

pause(): this

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.

range()

range(size, options?): Ranges | Result

Parse Range header field, capping to the given size.

Unspecified ranges such as "0-" require knowledge of your resource length. In the case of a byte range this is of course the total number of bytes. If the Range header field is not given undefined is returned. If the Range header field is given, return value is a result of range-parser. See more ./types/range-parser/index.d.ts

NOTE: remember that ranges are inclusive, so for example "Range: users=0-3" should respond with 4 users when available, not 3.

Parameters

ParameterType
sizenumber
options?Options

Returns

Ranges | Result

Inherited from

Omit.range


rawListeners()

rawListeners<K>(eventName): Function[]

Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName, including any wrappers (such as those created by .once()).

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

read()

read(size?): 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. If size 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 the size 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

ParameterTypeDescription
size?numberOptional argument to specify how much data to read.

Returns

any

Omit.read

v0.9.4


reduce()

reduce(fn, initial, options)

reduce<T>(fn, initial?, options?): Promise<T>

This method calls fn on each chunk of the stream in order, passing it the result from the calculation on the previous element. It returns a promise for the final value of the reduction.

If no initial value is supplied the first chunk of the stream is used as the initial value. If the stream is empty, the promise is rejected with a TypeError with the ERR_INVALID_ARGS code property.

The reducer function iterates the stream element-by-element which means that there is no concurrency parameter or parallelism. To perform a reduce concurrently, you can extract the async function to readable.map method.

Type parameters
Type parameterValue
Tany
Parameters
ParameterTypeDescription
fn(previous, data, options?) => Ta reducer function to call over every chunk in the stream. Async or not.
initial?undefinedthe initial value to use in the reduction.

Promise<T>

a promise for the final value of the reduction.

removeAllListeners()

removeAllListeners(eventName?): this

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

ParameterType
eventName?string | symbol

Returns

this

resume()

resume(): this

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.

Returns

this

Inherited from

Omit.resume

Since

v0.9.4


setEncoding()

setEncoding(encoding): this

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 as Buffer objects. Setting an encoding causes the stream data to be returned as strings of the specified encoding rather than as Buffer objects. For instance, calling readable.setEncoding('utf8') will cause the output data to be interpreted as UTF-8 data, and passed as strings. Calling readable.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);
});

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
encodingBufferEncodingThe encoding to use.

Returns

this

Inherited from

Omit.setEncoding

Since

v0.9.4


setMaxListeners()

setMaxListeners(n): this

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 to Infinity (or 0) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners.

Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

Parameters

ParameterType
nnumber

Returns

this

Inherited from

Omit.setMaxListeners

Since

v0.3.5


setTimeout()

setTimeout(msecs, callback?): this

Calls message.socket.setTimeout(msecs, callback).

Parameters

ParameterType
msecsnumber
callback?() => void

Returns

this

Inherited from

Omit.setTimeout

Since

v0.5.9


some()

some(fn, options?): Promise<boolean>

This method is similar to Array.prototype.some and calls fn on each chunk in the stream until the awaited return value is true (or any truthy value). Once an fn call on a chunk awaited return value is truthy, the stream is destroyed and the promise is fulfilled with true. If none of the fn calls on the chunks return a truthy value, the promise is fulfilled with false.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
fn(data, options?) => boolean | Promise<boolean>a function to call on each chunk of the stream. Async or not.
options?ArrayOptions-

Returns

Promise<boolean>

a promise evaluating to true if fn returned a truthy value for at least one of the chunks.

Inherited from

Omit.some

Since

v17.5.0


take()

take(limit, options?): Readable

This method returns a new stream with the first limit chunks.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
limitnumberthe number of chunks to take from the readable.
options?Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">-

Returns

Readable

a stream with limit chunks taken.

Inherited from

Omit.take

Since

v17.5.0


toArray()

toArray(options?): Promise<any[]>

This method allows easily obtaining the contents of a stream.

As this method reads the entire stream into memory, it negates the benefits of streams. It's intended for interoperability and convenience, not as the primary way to consume streams.

Parameters

ParameterType
options?Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

Returns

Promise<any[]>

a promise containing an array with the contents of the stream.

Inherited from

Omit.toArray

Since

v17.5.0


unpipe()

unpipe(destination?): this

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('node: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);

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
destination?WritableStreamOptional specific stream to unpipe

Returns

this

Inherited from

Omit.unpipe

Since

v0.9.4


wrap()

wrap(stream): this

Prior to Node.js 0.10, streams did not implement the entire node: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, the readable.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('node:stream');
const oreader = new OldReader();
const myReader = new Readable().wrap(oreader);

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

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
streamReadableStreamAn "old style" readable stream

Returns

this

Inherited from

Omit.wrap

v0.9.4
