What is on-finished?

The on-finished npm package is a utility to execute a callback when an HTTP request/response cycle is completed or finished. It is useful for logging, cleaning up resources, or performing actions after the response has been sent to the client.

What are on-finished's main functionalities?

Execute callback when response finishes

This code sample creates an HTTP server that listens on port 3000. For each request, it uses on-finished to execute a callback when the response is finished. The callback logs 'Response finished' to the console.

const onFinished = require('on-finished');
const http = require('http');

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  onFinished(res, (err, res) => {
    console.log('Response finished');
  });

  res.end('Hello World');
}).listen(3000);

Detect when request is closed by the client

This code sample demonstrates how to use on-finished to detect when an HTTP request is closed prematurely by the client, such as when the client navigates away from the page or cancels the request.

const onFinished = require('on-finished');
const http = require('http');

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  onFinished(req, (err, req) => {
    if (err && err.code === 'ECONNRESET') {
      console.log('Request closed by the client');
    }
  });

  res.end('Hello World');
}).listen(3000);
