MedusaRequest

internal.internal.MedusaRequest

Properties​

abortedbooleanRequired
The message.aborted property will be true if the request has been aborted. #### Since v10.1.0 #### Deprecated Since v17.0.0,v16.12.0 - Check message.destroyed from <a href="stream.html#class-streamreadable" class="type">stream.Readable</a>.
allowedPropertiesstring[]Required
closedbooleanRequired
Is true after 'close' has been emitted. #### Since v18.0.0
completebooleanRequired
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: js 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
connectionSocketRequired
Alias for message.socket. #### Since v0.1.90 #### Deprecated Since v16.0.0 - Use socket.
destroyedbooleanRequired
Is true after readable.destroy() has been called. #### Since v8.0.0
errorednull | ErrorRequired
Returns error if the stream has been destroyed with an error. #### Since v18.0.0
errorsstring[]Required
filterableFieldsRecord<string, unknown>Required
headersIncomingHttpHeadersRequired
The request/response headers object. Key-value pairs of header names and values. Header names are lower-cased. js // 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
headersDistinctDict<string[]>Required
Similar to message.headers, but there is no join logic and the values are always arrays of strings, even for headers received just once. js // Prints something like: // // { 'user-agent': ['curl/7.22.0'], // host: ['127.0.0.1:8000'], // accept: ['*'] } console.log(request.headersDistinct); #### Since v18.3.0, v16.17.0
httpVersionstringRequired
In case of server request, the HTTP version sent by the client. In the case of client response, the HTTP version of the connected-to server. Probably either '1.1' or '1.0'. Also message.httpVersionMajor is the first integer andmessage.httpVersionMinor is the second. #### Since v0.1.1
httpVersionMajornumberRequired
httpVersionMinornumberRequired
includesRecord<string, boolean>
listConfigFindConfig<unknown>Required
rawHeadersstring[]Required
The raw request/response headers list exactly as they were received. The keys and values are in the same list. It is not a list of tuples. So, the even-numbered offsets are key values, and the odd-numbered offsets are the associated values. Header names are not lowercased, and duplicates are not merged. js // Prints something like: // // [ 'user-agent', // 'this is invalid because there can be only one', // 'User-Agent', // 'curl/7.22.0', // 'Host', // '127.0.0.1:8000', // 'ACCEPT', // '*' ] console.log(request.rawHeaders); #### Since v0.11.6
rawTrailersstring[]Required
The raw request/response trailer keys and values exactly as they were received. Only populated at the 'end' event. #### Since v0.11.6
readablebooleanRequired
Is true if it is safe to call readable.read(), which means the stream has not been destroyed or emitted 'error' or 'end'. #### Since v11.4.0
readableAbortedbooleanRequired
Returns whether the stream was destroyed or errored before emitting 'end'. #### Since v16.8.0
readableDidReadbooleanRequired
Returns whether 'data' has been emitted. #### Since v16.7.0, v14.18.0
readableEncodingnull | BufferEncodingRequired
Getter for the property encoding of a given Readable stream. The encodingproperty can be set using the readable.setEncoding() method. #### Since v12.7.0
readableEndedbooleanRequired
Becomes true when 'end' event is emitted. #### Since v12.9.0
readableFlowingnull | booleanRequired
This property reflects the current state of a Readable stream as described in the Three states section. #### Since v9.4.0
readableHighWaterMarknumberRequired
Returns the value of highWaterMark passed when creating this Readable. #### Since v9.3.0
readableLengthnumberRequired
This property contains the number of bytes (or objects) in the queue ready to be read. The value provides introspection data regarding the status of the highWaterMark. #### Since v9.4.0
readableObjectModebooleanRequired
Getter for the property objectMode of a given Readable stream. #### Since v12.3.0
retrieveConfigFindConfig<unknown>Required
scopeMedusaContainerRequired
socketSocketRequired
The net.Socket object associated with the connection. With HTTPS support, use request.socket.getPeerCertificate() to obtain the client's authentication details. This property is guaranteed to be an instance of the net.Socket class, a subclass of stream.Duplex, unless the user specified a socket type other than net.Socket or internally nulled. #### Since v0.3.0
statusCodenumber
Only valid for response obtained from ClientRequest. The 3-digit HTTP response status code. E.G. 404. #### Since v0.1.1
statusMessagestring
Only valid for response obtained from ClientRequest. The HTTP response status message (reason phrase). E.G. OK or Internal Server Error. #### Since v0.11.10
trailersDict<string>Required
The request/response trailers object. Only populated at the 'end' event. #### Since v0.3.0
trailersDistinctDict<string[]>Required
Similar to message.trailers, but there is no join logic and the values are always arrays of strings, even for headers received just once. Only populated at the 'end' event. #### Since v18.3.0, v16.17.0

pause​

pause(): MedusaRequest

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.

v9.4.0

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. Ifsize 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 thesize 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.

removeAllListeners​

removeAllListeners(event?): MedusaRequest

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.

resume​

resume(): MedusaRequest

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​

MedusaRequest

v0.9.4

Inherited from​

Request.resume

setEncoding​

setEncoding(encoding): MedusaRequest

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

setMaxListeners​

setMaxListeners(n): MedusaRequest

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

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

unpipe​

unpipe(destination?): MedusaRequest

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​

destinationWritableStream
Optional specific stream to unpipe

unshift​

unshift(chunk, encoding?): void

Passing chunk as null signals the end of the stream (EOF) and behaves the same as readable.push(null), after which no more data can be written. The EOF signal is put at the end of the buffer and any buffered data will still be flushed.

The readable.unshift() method pushes a chunk of data back into the internal buffer. This is useful in certain situations where a stream is being consumed by code that needs to "un-consume" some amount of data that it has optimistically pulled out of the source, so that the data can be passed on to some other party.

The stream.unshift(chunk) method cannot be called after the 'end' event has been emitted or a runtime error will be thrown.

Developers using stream.unshift() often should consider switching to use of a Transform stream instead. See the API for stream implementers section for more information.

// Pull off a header delimited by \n\n.
// Use unshift() if we get too much.
// Call the callback with (error, header, stream).
const { StringDecoder } = require('node:string_decoder');
function parseHeader(stream, callback) {
  stream.on('error', callback);
  stream.on('readable', onReadable);
  const decoder = new StringDecoder('utf8');
  let header = '';
  function onReadable() {
    let chunk;
    while (null !== (chunk = stream.read())) {
      const str = decoder.write(chunk);
      if (str.includes('\n\n')) {
        // Found the header boundary.
        const split = str.split(/\n\n/);
        header += split.shift();
        const remaining = split.join('\n\n');
        const buf = Buffer.from(remaining, 'utf8');
        stream.removeListener('error', callback);
        // Remove the 'readable' listener before unshifting.
        stream.removeListener('readable', onReadable);
        if (buf.length)
          stream.unshift(buf);
        // Now the body of the message can be read from the stream.
        callback(null, header, stream);
        return;
      }
      // Still reading the header.
      header += str;
    }
  }
}

Unlike push, stream.unshift(chunk) will not end the reading process by resetting the internal reading state of the stream. This can cause unexpected results if readable.unshift() is called during a read (i.e. from within a _read implementation on a custom stream). Following the call to readable.unshift() with an immediate push will reset the reading state appropriately, however it is best to simply avoid calling readable.unshift() while in the process of performing a read.

Parameters​

chunkanyRequired
Chunk of data to unshift onto the read queue. For streams not operating in object mode, chunk must be a string, Buffer, Uint8Array, or null. For object mode streams, chunk may be any JavaScript value.
encodingBufferEncoding
Encoding of string chunks. Must be a valid Buffer encoding, such as 'utf8' or 'ascii'.

Returns​

void

wrap​

wrap(stream): MedusaRequest

Prior to Node.js 0.10, streams did not implement the entire node:streammodule 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, thereadable.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​

streamReadableStreamRequired
An "old style" readable stream

Returns​

MedusaRequest
