Node.js – process.connected Property
The process.connected property returns True if an IPC channel is connected and will return False after the process.disconnect() method is called. This happens only when the node process is spawned with an IPC channel (i.e., Child process and Cluster).Once the process.connected property is false, no messages can be sent over the IPC channel.Syntaxprocess.connectedExample 1Create two files "parent.js" and "child.js" as follows −parent.js// process.connected Property Demo Example // Importing the child_process modules const fork = require('child_process').fork; // Attaching the child process file const child_file = 'util.js'; // Spawning/calling child process const child = fork(child_file);child.jsconsole.log('In Child') // Check ...

The timers module contains functions that can execute code after a certain period of time. You do not need to import the timer module explicitly, as it is already globally available across the emulated browser JavaScript API.Timers module is mainly categorised into two categoriesScheduling Timers − This timer schedules the task to take place after a certain instant of time.setImmediate()setInterval()setTimeout()Cancelling Timers − This type of timers cancels the scheduled tasks which is set to take place. ClearImmediate()clearInterval()clearTimeout()Scheduling Timers1. setTimeout() MethodThe setTimeout() method schedules the code execution after a designated number of milliseconds. Only after the timeout has occurred, the code ...
Read MoreData Chunks in Node.js
Data chunks in Node.js or any other language can be defined as a fragment of data that is sent to all the servers by the client. The servers make a stream of these chunks and form a buffer stream. This buffer stream is then converted into meaningful data.Syntaxrequest.on('eventName', [callback] )ParametersThe parameters are described below −eventName − It is the name of the event that will be fired.callback − Callback function to handle any error if it occurs.ExampleCreate a file with the name "index.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node index.js" to run ...
Read MoreGiving Input to a Node.js Application
The main aim of a Node.js application is to work as a backend technology and serve requests and return response. But we can also pass inputs directly to a Node.js application.We can use readline-sync, a third-party module to accept user inputs in a synchronous manner.Syntaxnpm install readline-syncThis will install the readline-sync module dependency in your local npm project.Example 1Create a file with the name "input.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node input.js" to run this code.//Giving Input to a Node.js application Demo Example // Importing the realine-sync module const readline = ...

You can use the chalk module to customize the statements printed on the console.By using it, one can change the text font-color to any color. One can also change the font-style to Bold, Italic or Underlined. Also, you can highlight the printed text.Syntaxnpm install chalkExample 1Create a file "color.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node color.js" to run this code.// Giving color to console statments // Importing the chalk module const chalk = require('chalk'); // Printing the text in blue color console.log(chalk.blue('Welcome to Tutorials Point !')); // Printing the ...
Read MoreNode.js – util.types.isNativeError() Method
The util.types.isNativeError() method checks whether the passed value is a built-in error type or not. If the above condition is satisfied, it returns True, else False. The error can be of any type.Syntaxutil.types.isNativeError(value)ParametersIt takes a single parameter −value − This input value takes input for the required parameter and checks if it's an error type or not.It returns True or False based upon the input value passed.Example 1Create a file with the name "isNativeError.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node isNativeError.js" to run this code.// util.types.isNativeError() Demo Example // Importing the ...
Read MoreNode.js – util.types.isAnyArrayBuffer() Method
The util.types.isAnyArrayBuffer() checks whether the passed value is an ArrayBuffer or a SharedArrayBuffer instance. It returns True if the above condition holds, else False.Syntaxutil.types.isAnyArrayBuffer(value)ParametersIt takes a single parameter −value − This input parameter takes input for the required datatype and checks if it's an ArrayBuffer or SharedArrayBuffer instance.It returns True or False based upon the input value passed.Example 1Create a file with the name "isArrayBuffer.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node isArrayBuffer.js" to run this code// util.types.isAnyArrayBuffer() Demo Example // Importing the util module const util = require('util'); // Printing ...

The util.types.isDate() method checks whether the passed value is a built-in Date instance or not. If the above condition is satisfied, it returns True, else False.Syntaxutil.types.isDate(value)ParametersIt takes a single parameter −value − This input value takes input for the required parameter and checks if it's a Date instance or not.It returns True or False based upon the input value passed.Example 1Create a file with the name "isDate.js" and copy the following code snippet.

Read MoreNode.js – util.getSystemErrorName() Method
The util.getSystemErrorName() method is used for returning the string name of the numeric error code that is returned from the Node.js API. There is a mapping between the error codes and error names which is platform-dependent.Syntaxutil.getSystemErrorName(err)ParametersIt takes a single parameter −err −This parameter takes input as a numeric value that will specify the error number or the error code.The function returns the error name based upon the error code or error number passed in the err parameter.Some common system errors are - EACCES, EEXIST, EISDIR, ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENOTEMPTY, etc. Browse this page to find the complete information about system error ...
