<section><h3>Terminology<span><a class="mark" href="#terminology" id="terminology">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="async_hooks_terminology"></a></h3>
<p>An asynchronous resource represents an object with an associated callback.
This callback may be called multiple times, such as the <code>'connection'</code>
event in <code>net.createServer()</code>, or just a single time like in <code>fs.open()</code>.
A resource can also be closed before the callback is called. <code>AsyncHook</code> does
not explicitly distinguish between these different cases but will represent them
as the abstract concept that is a resource.</p>
<p>If <a href="worker_threads.html#class-worker"><code>Worker</code></a>s are used, each thread has an independent <code>async_hooks</code>
interface, and each thread will use a new set of async IDs.</p>

<p>Because promises are asynchronous resources whose lifecycle is tracked
via the async hooks mechanism, the <code>init()</code>, <code>before()</code>, <code>after()</code>, and
<code>destroy()</code> callbacks <em>must not</em> be async functions that return promises.</p>
<div>
<h4>Error handling<span><a class="mark" href="#error-handling" id="error-handling">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="async_hooks_error_handling"></a></h4>
<p>If any <code>AsyncHook</code> callbacks throw, the application will print the stack trace
and exit. The exit path does follow that of an uncaught exception, but
all <code>'uncaughtException'</code> listeners are removed, thus forcing the process to
exit. The <code>'exit'</code> callbacks will still be called unless the application is run
with <code>--abort-on-uncaught-exception</code>, in which case a stack trace will be
printed and the application exits, leaving a core file.</p>
<p>The reason for this error handling behavior is that these callbacks are running
at potentially volatile points in an object's lifetime, for example during
class construction and destruction. Because of this, it is deemed necessary to
bring down the process quickly in order to prevent an unintentional abort in the
future. This is subject to change in the future if a comprehensive analysis is
performed to ensure an exception can follow the normal control flow without
unintentional side effects.</p>

<h4>Printing in <code>AsyncHook</code> callbacks<span><a class="mark" href="#printing-in-asynchook-callbacks" id="printing-in-asynchook-callbacks">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="async_hooks_printing_in_asynchook_callbacks"></a></h4>
<p>Because printing to the console is an asynchronous operation, <code>console.log()</code>
will cause <code>AsyncHook</code> callbacks to be called. Using <code>console.log()</code> or
similar asynchronous operations inside an <code>AsyncHook</code> callback function will
cause an infinite recursion. An easy solution to this when debugging is to use a
synchronous logging operation such as <code>fs.writeFileSync(file, msg, flag)</code>.
This will print to the file and will not invoke <code>AsyncHook</code> recursively because
it is synchronous.</p>

<p>If an asynchronous operation is needed for logging, it is possible to keep
track of what caused the asynchronous operation using the information
provided by <code>AsyncHook</code> itself. The logging should then be skipped when
it was the logging itself that caused the <code>AsyncHook</code> callback to be called. By
doing this, the otherwise infinite recursion is broken.</p>

<p>Every new resource is assigned an ID that is unique within the scope of the
current Node.js instance.</p>
<div>
<h6><code>type</code><span><a class="mark" href="#type" id="type">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="async_hooks_type"></a></h6>
<p>The <code>type</code> is a string identifying the type of resource that caused
<code>init</code> to be called. Generally, it will correspond to the name of the
resource's constructor.</p>
<p>The <code>type</code> of resources created by Node.js itself can change in any Node.js
release. Valid values include <code>TLSWRAP</code>,
<code>TCPWRAP</code>, <code>TCPSERVERWRAP</code>, <code>GETADDRINFOREQWRAP</code>, <code>FSREQCALLBACK</code>,
<code>Microtask</code>, and <code>Timeout</code>. Inspect the source code of the Node.js version used
to get the full list.</p>
<p>Furthermore users of <a href="async_context.html#class-asyncresource"><code>AsyncResource</code></a> create async resources independent
of Node.js itself.</p>
<p>There is also the <code>PROMISE</code> resource type, which is used to track <code>Promise</code>
instances and asynchronous work scheduled by them.</p>
<p>Users are able to define their own <code>type</code> when using the public embedder API.</p>
<p>It is possible to have type name collisions. Embedders are encouraged to use
unique prefixes, such as the npm package name, to prevent collisions when
listening to the hooks.</p>

<h6><code>triggerAsyncId</code><span><a class="mark" href="#triggerasyncid" id="triggerasyncid">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="async_hooks_triggerasyncid"></a></h6>
<p><code>triggerAsyncId</code> is the <code>asyncId</code> of the resource that caused (or "triggered")
the new resource to initialize and that caused <code>init</code> to call. This is different
from <code>async_hooks.executionAsyncId()</code> that only shows <em>when</em> a resource was
created, while <code>triggerAsyncId</code> shows <em>why</em> a resource was created.</p>

<p>The <code>TCPSERVERWRAP</code> is the server which receives the connections.</p>
<p>The <code>TCPWRAP</code> is the new connection from the client. When a new
connection is made, the <code>TCPWrap</code> instance is immediately constructed. This
happens outside of any JavaScript stack. (An <code>executionAsyncId()</code> of <code>0</code> means
that it is being executed from C++ with no JavaScript stack above it.) With only
that information, it would be impossible to link resources together in
terms of what caused them to be created, so <code>triggerAsyncId</code> is given the task
of propagating what resource is responsible for the new resource's existence.</p>
</div><div>
<h6><code>resource</code><span><a class="mark" href="#resource" id="resource">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="async_hooks_resource"></a></h6>
<p><code>resource</code> is an object that represents the actual async resource that has
been initialized. The API to access the object may be specified by the
creator of the resource. Resources created by Node.js itself are internal
and may change at any time. Therefore no API is specified for these.</p>
<p>In some cases the resource object is reused for performance reasons, it is
thus not safe to use it as a key in a <code>WeakMap</code> or add properties to it.</p>

<h6>Asynchronous context example<span><a class="mark" href="#asynchronous-context-example" id="asynchronous-context-example">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="async_hooks_asynchronous_context_example"></a></h6>
<p>The context tracking use case is covered by the stable API <a href="async_context.html#class-asynclocalstorage"><code>AsyncLocalStorage</code></a>.
This example only illustrates async hooks operation but <a href="async_context.html#class-asynclocalstorage"><code>AsyncLocalStorage</code></a>
fits better to this use case.</p>
<p>The following is an example with additional information about the calls to
<code>init</code> between the <code>before</code> and <code>after</code> calls, specifically what the
callback to <code>listen()</code> will look like. The output formatting is slightly more
elaborate to make calling context easier to see.</p>

<p>As illustrated in the example, <code>executionAsyncId()</code> and <code>execution</code> each specify
the value of the current execution context; which is delineated by calls to
<code>before</code> and <code>after</code>.</p>

<p>The <code>TCPSERVERWRAP</code> is not part of this graph, even though it was the reason for
<code>console.log()</code> being called. This is because binding to a port without a host
name is a <em>synchronous</em> operation, but to maintain a completely asynchronous
API the user's callback is placed in a <code>process.nextTick()</code>. Which is why
<code>TickObject</code> is present in the output and is a 'parent' for <code>.listen()</code>
callback.</p>
<p>The graph only shows <em>when</em> a resource was created, not <em>why</em>, so to track
the <em>why</em> use <code>triggerAsyncId</code>. Which can be represented with the following
graph:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>asyncId</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a></li>
</ul>
<p>When an asynchronous operation is initiated (such as a TCP server receiving a
new connection) or completes (such as writing data to disk) a callback is
called to notify the user. The <code>before</code> callback is called just before said
callback is executed. <code>asyncId</code> is the unique identifier assigned to the
resource about to execute the callback.</p>
<p>The <code>before</code> callback will be called 0 to N times. The <code>before</code> callback
will typically be called 0 times if the asynchronous operation was cancelled
or, for example, if no connections are received by a TCP server. Persistent
asynchronous resources like a TCP server will typically call the <code>before</code>
callback multiple times, while other operations like <code>fs.open()</code> will call
it only once.</p>
</div><div>
<h5><code>after(asyncId)</code><span><a class="mark" href="#afterasyncid" id="afterasyncid">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="async_hooks_after_asyncid"></a></h5>

</ul>
<p>Called immediately after the callback specified in <code>before</code> is completed.</p>
<p>If an uncaught exception occurs during execution of the callback, then <code>after</code>
will run <em>after</em> the <code>'uncaughtException'</code> event is emitted or a <code>domain</code>'s
handler runs.</p>
</div><div>
<h5><code>destroy(asyncId)</code><span><a class="mark" href="#destroyasyncid" id="destroyasyncid">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="async_hooks_destroy_asyncid"></a></h5>
<ul>
<li><code>asyncId</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Called after the resource corresponding to <code>asyncId</code> is destroyed. It is also
called asynchronously from the embedder API <code>emitDestroy()</code>.</p>
<p>Some resources depend on garbage collection for cleanup, so if a reference is
made to the <code>resource</code> object passed to <code>init</code> it is possible that <code>destroy</code>
will never be called, causing a memory leak in the application. If the resource
does not depend on garbage collection, then this will not be an issue.</p>
<p>Using the destroy hook results in additional overhead because it enables
tracking of <code>Promise</code> instances via the garbage collector.</p>

<p>Observe that the <code>then()</code> callback claims to have executed in the context of the
outer scope even though there was an asynchronous hop involved. Also,
the <code>triggerAsyncId</code> value is <code>0</code>, which means that we are missing context about
the resource that caused (triggered) the <code>then()</code> callback to be executed.</p>

<p>In this example, adding any actual hook function enabled the tracking of
promises. There are two promises in the example above; the promise created by
<code>Promise.resolve()</code> and the promise returned by the call to <code>then()</code>. In the
example above, the first promise got the <code>asyncId</code> <code>6</code> and the latter got
<code>asyncId</code> <code>7</code>. During the execution of the <code>then()</code> callback, we are executing
in the context of promise with <code>asyncId</code> <code>7</code>. This promise was triggered by
async resource <code>6</code>.</p>
<p>Another subtlety with promises is that <code>before</code> and <code>after</code> callbacks are run
only on chained promises. That means promises not created by <code>then()</code>/<code>catch()</code>
will not have the <code>before</code> and <code>after</code> callbacks fired on them. For more details
see the details of the V8 <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rda3yKGHimKIhg5YeoAmCOtyURgsbTH_qaYR79FELlk/edit">PromiseHooks</a> API.</p>
