Methods
[captureRejectionSymbol]()?
optional[captureRejectionSymbol](error,event, ...args):void
Defined in: node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:87
The Symbol.for('nodejs.rejection') method is called in case a promise rejection happens when emitting an event and captureRejections is enabled on the emitter. It is possible to use events.captureRejectionSymbol in place of Symbol.for('nodejs.rejection').
import { EventEmitter, captureRejectionSymbol } from 'node:events';
class MyClass extends EventEmitter {
constructor() {
super({ captureRejections: true });
}
[captureRejectionSymbol](err, event, ...args) {
console.log('rejection happened for', event, 'with', err, ...args);
this.destroy(err);
}
destroy(err) {
// Tear the resource down here.
}
}Parameters

client()
client<
T>(service,options?):Client<T>
Defined in: packages/core/src/types.ts:659
Unified client factory: auto-routes to the in-process transport if the service is registered on this Server, otherwise to the transport supplied by the configured remoteResolver (e.g. a createGrpcTransport({ baseUrl }) to a remote peer). An optional options.endpoint hint is forwarded to the resolver.
Fail-fast (split error model): a non-local service with no remoteResolver configured is a configuration mistake → throws CatalogConfigError at the server.client(...) call. A resolver that returns null is an operational miss → ConnectError(Code.Unavailable).
Enables polyglot deployments where the same call site (server.client(S)) routes locally in a modular monolith and remotely when the service is split into a separate process — without code changes.
Type Parameters
T
T extends DescService
Parameters
service

options?
Returns
Client<T>
Example
// Configure the resolver once; the same call works whether GreeterService
// is co-located or remote:
const server = createServer({ services: [...], remoteResolver });
const client = server.client(GreeterService);
await client.sayHello({ name: 'world' });emit()
emit<
E>(eventName, ...args):boolean
Defined in: node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:134
Synchronously 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 listener
myEmitter.on('event', function firstListener() {
console.log('Helloooo! first listener');
});
// Second listener
myEmitter.on('event', function secondListener(arg1, arg2) {
console.log(`event with parameters ${arg1}, ${arg2} in second listener`);
});
// Third listener
myEmitter.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:

hasService()
hasService(
desc):boolean
Defined in: packages/core/src/types.ts:632
Synchronous registry lookup: returns whether the given proto service descriptor is served locally by this Server. Triggers route materialization on first call.
Source of truth is the same ConnectRouter.service(desc, impl) chain used to build the HTTP handler — no separate registration step.
Parameters
desc
DescService
Returns
boolean
Example
if (server.hasService(GreeterService)) {
// routed in-process
}listenerCount()
listenerCount<
E>(eventName,listener?):number
Defined in: node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:170
Returns the number of listeners listening for the event named eventName. If listener is provided, it will return how many times the listener is found in the list of the listeners of the event.
Type Parameters

localClient()
localClient<
T>(service):Client<T>
Defined in: packages/core/src/types.ts:615
Create a fully-typed ConnectRPC client that dispatches calls directly to handlers registered on this server, without opening any TCP socket.
Safe to call before server.start() — the routes are materialized lazily on first access. Once materialized, addService / addInterceptor / addProtocol will throw.
Type Parameters

T extends DescService
Parameters

Returns
Client<T>
Example
import { GreeterService } from './gen/greeter_pb.js';
const server = createServer({ services: [routes] });

Call Signature
on(

Defined in: packages/core/src/types.ts:472
Adds 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.

removeAllListeners()
removeAllListeners<
E>(eventName?):this
Defined in: node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:338
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.

removeListener()
removeListener<
E>(eventName,listener):this
Defined in: node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:425
Removes the specified listener from the listener array for the event named eventName.
const callback = (stream) => {
console.log('someone connected!');
};
server.on('connection', callback);
// ...
server.removeListener('connection', callback);removeListener() will remove, at most, one instance of a listener from the listener array. If any single listener has been added multiple times to the listener array for the specified eventName, then removeListener() must be called multiple times to remove each instance.
Once an event is emitted, all listeners attached to it at the time of emitting are called in order. This implies that any removeListener() or removeAllListeners() calls after emitting and before the last listener finishes execution will not remove them from emit() in progress. Subsequent events behave as expected.
import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
class MyEmitter extends EventEmitter {}
const myEmitter = new MyEmitter();
const callbackA = () => {
console.log('A');
myEmitter.removeListener('event', callbackB);
};
const callbackB = () => {
console.log('B');
};
myEmitter.on('event', callbackA);
myEmitter.on('event', callbackB);
// callbackA removes listener callbackB but it will still be called.
// Internal listener array at time of emit [callbackA, callbackB]
myEmitter.emit('event');
// Prints:
// A
// B
// callbackB is now removed.
// Internal listener array [callbackA]
myEmitter.emit('event');
// Prints:
// ABecause listeners are managed using an internal array, calling this will change the position indexes of any listener registered after the listener being removed. This will not impact the order in which listeners are called, but it means that any copies of the listener array as returned by the emitter.listeners() method will need to be recreated.
When a single function has been added as a handler multiple times for a single event (as in the example below), removeListener() will remove the most recently added instance. In the example the once('ping') listener is removed:
import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
const ee = new EventEmitter();
function pong() {
console.log('pong');
}
ee.on('ping', pong);
ee.once('ping', pong);
ee.removeListener('ping', pong);
ee.emit('ping');
ee.emit('ping');Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

setMaxListeners()
setMaxListeners(
n):this
Defined in: node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:436
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.
