327<p><strong>This module is pending deprecation.</strong> Once a replacement API has been
328finalized, this module will be fully deprecated. Most developers should
329<strong>not</strong> have cause to use this module. Users who absolutely must have
330the functionality that domains provide may rely on it for the time being
331but should expect to have to migrate to a different solution
332in the future.</p>
333<p>Domains provide a way to handle multiple different IO operations as a
334single group. If any of the event emitters or callbacks registered to a
335domain emit an <code>'error'</code> event, or throw an error, then the domain object
336will be notified, rather than losing the context of the error in the
337<code>process.on('uncaughtException')</code> handler, or causing the program to
338exit immediately with an error code.</p>
339<section><h3>Warning: Don't ignore errors!<span><a class="mark" href="#warning-dont-ignore-errors" id="warning-dont-ignore-errors">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="domain_warning_don_t_ignore_errors"></a></h3>
340
341<p>Domain error handlers are not a substitute for closing down a
342process when an error occurs.</p>
343<p>By the very nature of how <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/throw"><code>throw</code></a> works in JavaScript, there is almost
344never any way to safely "pick up where it left off", without leaking
345references, or creating some other sort of undefined brittle state.</p>
346<p>The safest way to respond to a thrown error is to shut down the
347process. Of course, in a normal web server, there may be many
348open connections, and it is not reasonable to abruptly shut those down
349because an error was triggered by someone else.</p>
350<p>The better approach is to send an error response to the request that
351triggered the error, while letting the others finish in their normal
352time, and stop listening for new requests in that worker.</p>
353<p>In this way, <code>domain</code> usage goes hand-in-hand with the cluster module,
354since the primary process can fork a new worker when a worker
355encounters an error. For Node.js programs that scale to multiple
356machines, the terminating proxy or service registry can take note of
357the failure, and react accordingly.</p>
358<p>For example, this is not a good idea:</p>

479
480<p>Any time an <code>Error</code> object is routed through a domain, a few extra fields
481are added to it.</p>
482<ul>
483<li><code>error.domain</code> The domain that first handled the error.</li>
484<li><code>error.domainEmitter</code> The event emitter that emitted an <code>'error'</code> event
485with the error object.</li>
486<li><code>error.domainBound</code> The callback function which was bound to the
487domain, and passed an error as its first argument.</li>
488<li><code>error.domainThrown</code> A boolean indicating whether the error was
489thrown, emitted, or passed to a bound callback function.</li>
490</ul>
491</section><section><h3>Implicit binding<span><a class="mark" href="#implicit-binding" id="implicit-binding">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="domain_implicit_binding"></a></h3>
492
493<p>If domains are in use, then all <strong>new</strong> <code>EventEmitter</code> objects (including
494Stream objects, requests, responses, etc.) will be implicitly bound to
495the active domain at the time of their creation.</p>
496<p>Additionally, callbacks passed to low-level event loop requests (such as
497to <code>fs.open()</code>, or other callback-taking methods) will automatically be
498bound to the active domain. If they throw, then the domain will catch
499the error.</p>
500<p>In order to prevent excessive memory usage, <code>Domain</code> objects themselves
501are not implicitly added as children of the active domain. If they
502were, then it would be too easy to prevent request and response objects
503from being properly garbage collected.</p>
504<p>To nest <code>Domain</code> objects as children of a parent <code>Domain</code> they must be
505explicitly added.</p>
506<p>Implicit binding routes thrown errors and <code>'error'</code> events to the
507<code>Domain</code>'s <code>'error'</code> event, but does not register the <code>EventEmitter</code> on the
508<code>Domain</code>.
509Implicit binding only takes care of thrown errors and <code>'error'</code> events.</p>

512<p>Sometimes, the domain in use is not the one that ought to be used for a
513specific event emitter. Or, the event emitter could have been created
514in the context of one domain, but ought to instead be bound to some
515other domain.</p>
516<p>For example, there could be one domain in use for an HTTP server, but
517perhaps we would like to have a separate domain to use for each request.</p>

596<p>The <code>enter()</code> method is plumbing used by the <code>run()</code>, <code>bind()</code>, and
597<code>intercept()</code> methods to set the active domain. It sets <code>domain.active</code> and
598<code>process.domain</code> to the domain, and implicitly pushes the domain onto the domain
599stack managed by the domain module (see <a href="#domainexit"><code>domain.exit()</code></a> for details on the
600domain stack). The call to <code>enter()</code> delimits the beginning of a chain of
601asynchronous calls and I/O operations bound to a domain.</p>
602<p>Calling <code>enter()</code> changes only the active domain, and does not alter the domain
603itself. <code>enter()</code> and <code>exit()</code> can be called an arbitrary number of times on a
604single domain.</p>
605<h4><code>domain.exit()</code><span><a class="mark" href="#domainexit" id="domainexit">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="domain_domain_exit"></a></h4>
606<p>The <code>exit()</code> method exits the current domain, popping it off the domain stack.
607Any time execution is going to switch to the context of a different chain of
608asynchronous calls, it's important to ensure that the current domain is exited.
609The call to <code>exit()</code> delimits either the end of or an interruption to the chain
610of asynchronous calls and I/O operations bound to a domain.</p>
611<p>If there are multiple, nested domains bound to the current execution context,
612<code>exit()</code> will exit any domains nested within this domain.</p>
613<p>Calling <code>exit()</code> changes only the active domain, and does not alter the domain
614itself. <code>enter()</code> and <code>exit()</code> can be called an arbitrary number of times on a
615single domain.</p>

620</ul>
621<p>This method is almost identical to <a href="#domainbindcallback"><code>domain.bind(callback)</code></a>. However, in
622addition to catching thrown errors, it will also intercept <a href="errors.html#class-error"><code>Error</code></a>
623objects sent as the first argument to the function.</p>
624<p>In this way, the common <code>if (err) return callback(err);</code> pattern can be replaced
625with a single error handler in a single place.</p>
