# Deprecated APIs
<!--introduced_in=v7.7.0-->
<!-- type=misc -->
Node.js APIs might be deprecated for any of the following reasons:
* Use of the API is unsafe.
* An improved alternative API is available.
* Breaking changes to the API are expected in a future major release.
Node.js uses three kinds of Deprecations:
* Documentation-only
* Runtime
* End-of-Life
A Documentation-only deprecation is one that is expressed only within the
Node.js API docs. These generate no side-effects while running Node.js.
Some Documentation-only deprecations trigger a runtime warning when launched
with [`--pending-deprecation`][] flag (or its alternative,
`NODE_PENDING_DEPRECATION=1` environment variable), similarly to Runtime
deprecations below. Documentation-only deprecations that support that flag
are explicitly labeled as such in the
[list of Deprecated APIs](#list-of-deprecated-apis).
A Runtime deprecation will, by default, generate a process warning that will
be printed to `stderr` the first time the deprecated API is used. When the
[`--throw-deprecation`][] command-line flag is used, a Runtime deprecation will
cause an error to be thrown.
An End-of-Life deprecation is used when functionality is or will soon be removed
from Node.js.
## Revoking deprecations
Occasionally, the deprecation of an API might be reversed. In such situations,
this document will be updated with information relevant to the decision.
However, the deprecation identifier will not be modified.
## List of deprecated APIs
### DEP0001: `http.OutgoingMessage.prototype.flush`

instead.
### DEP0004: `CryptoStream.prototype.readyState`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v10.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/17882
description: End-of-Life.

description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->
Type: End-of-Life
The `CryptoStream.prototype.readyState` property was removed.
### DEP0005: `Buffer()` constructor
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v10.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/19524
description: Runtime deprecation.
- version: v6.12.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10116
description: A deprecation code has been assigned.
- version: v6.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4682
description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->
Type: Runtime (supports [`--pending-deprecation`][])
The `Buffer()` function and `new Buffer()` constructor are deprecated due to
API usability issues that can lead to accidental security issues.
As an alternative, use one of the following methods of constructing `Buffer`
objects:
* [`Buffer.alloc(size[, fill[, encoding]])`][alloc]: Create a `Buffer` with
*initialized* memory.
* [`Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)`][alloc_unsafe_size]: Create a `Buffer` with
*uninitialized* memory.
* [`Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(size)`][]: Create a `Buffer` with *uninitialized*
memory.
* [`Buffer.from(array)`][]: Create a `Buffer` with a copy of `array`
* [`Buffer.from(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]])`][from_arraybuffer] -
Create a `Buffer` that wraps the given `arrayBuffer`.
* [`Buffer.from(buffer)`][]: Create a `Buffer` that copies `buffer`.
* [`Buffer.from(string[, encoding])`][from_string_encoding]: Create a `Buffer`
that copies `string`.
Without `--pending-deprecation`, runtime warnings occur only for code not in
`node_modules`. This means there will not be deprecation warnings for
`Buffer()` usage in dependencies. With `--pending-deprecation`, a runtime
warning results no matter where the `Buffer()` usage occurs.
### DEP0006: `child_process` `options.customFds`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v12.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/25279
description: End-of-Life.
- version:
- v6.12.0
- v4.8.6
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10116
description: A deprecation code has been assigned.
- version: v0.11.14
description: Runtime deprecation.
- version: v0.5.10
description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->
Type: End-of-Life
Within the [`child_process`][] module's `spawn()`, `fork()`, and `exec()`
methods, the `options.customFds` option is deprecated. The `options.stdio`
option should be used instead.
### DEP0007: Replace `cluster` `worker.suicide` with `worker.exitedAfterDisconnect`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v9.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/13702
description: End-of-Life.
- version: v7.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3747
description: Runtime deprecation.
- version: v6.12.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10116
description: A deprecation code has been assigned.
- version: v6.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3743
description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->
Type: End-of-Life
In an earlier version of the Node.js `cluster`, a boolean property with the name
`suicide` was added to the `Worker` object. The intent of this property was to
provide an indication of how and why the `Worker` instance exited. In Node.js
6.0.0, the old property was deprecated and replaced with a new
[`worker.exitedAfterDisconnect`][] property. The old property name did not
precisely describe the actual semantics and was unnecessarily emotion-laden.
### DEP0008: `require('constants')`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v6.12.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10116
description: A deprecation code has been assigned.
- version: v6.3.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6534
description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->
Type: Documentation-only
The `constants` module is deprecated. When requiring access to constants
relevant to specific Node.js builtin modules, developers should instead refer
to the `constants` property exposed by the relevant module. For instance,
`require('fs').constants` and `require('os').constants`.
### DEP0009: `crypto.pbkdf2` without digest
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v14.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/31166
description: End-of-Life (for `digest === null`).
- version: v11.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22861
description: Runtime deprecation (for `digest === null`).
- version: v8.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11305
description: End-of-Life (for `digest === undefined`).
- version: v6.12.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10116
description: A deprecation code has been assigned.
- version: v6.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4047
description: Runtime deprecation (for `digest === undefined`).
-->
Type: End-of-Life
Use of the [`crypto.pbkdf2()`][] API without specifying a digest was deprecated
in Node.js 6.0 because the method defaulted to using the non-recommended
`'SHA1'` digest. Previously, a deprecation warning was printed. Starting in
Node.js 8.0.0, calling `crypto.pbkdf2()` or `crypto.pbkdf2Sync()` with
`digest` set to `undefined` will throw a `TypeError`.
Beginning in Node.js v11.0.0, calling these functions with `digest` set to
`null` would print a deprecation warning to align with the behavior when `digest`
is `undefined`.
Now, however, passing either `undefined` or `null` will throw a `TypeError`.
### DEP0010: `crypto.createCredentials`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v11.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21153
description: End-of-Life.
- version:
- v6.12.0
- v4.8.6
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10116
description: A deprecation code has been assigned.
- version: v0.11.13
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/pull/7265
description: Runtime deprecation.
-->
Type: End-of-Life
The `crypto.createCredentials()` API was removed. Please use
[`tls.createSecureContext()`][] instead.
### DEP0011: `crypto.Credentials`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v11.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21153
description: End-of-Life.
- version:
- v6.12.0
- v4.8.6
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10116
description: A deprecation code has been assigned.
- version: v0.11.13
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/pull/7265
description: Runtime deprecation.
-->
Type: End-of-Life
The `crypto.Credentials` class was removed. Please use [`tls.SecureContext`][]
instead.
### DEP0012: `Domain.dispose`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v9.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/15412
description: End-of-Life.
- version:
- v6.12.0
- v4.8.6
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10116
description: A deprecation code has been assigned.
- version: v0.11.7
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/pull/5021
description: Runtime deprecation.
-->
Type: End-of-Life
`Domain.dispose()` has been removed. Recover from failed I/O actions
explicitly via error event handlers set on the domain instead.
### DEP0013: `fs` asynchronous function without callback
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v10.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/18668
description: End-of-Life.
- version: v7.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7897
description: Runtime deprecation.
-->
Type: End-of-Life
Calling an asynchronous function without a callback throws a `TypeError`
in Node.js 10.0.0 onwards. See <https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/12562>.
### DEP0014: `fs.read` legacy String interface

`tls.parseCertString()` is a trivial parsing helper that was made public by
mistake. This function can usually be replaced with:
```js
const querystring = require('querystring');
querystring.parse(str, '\n', '=');
```
This function is not completely equivalent to `querystring.parse()`. One
difference is that `querystring.parse()` does url decoding:
```console
> querystring.parse('%E5%A5%BD=1', '\n', '=');
{ '好': '1' }

Type: End-of-Life
Since Node.js versions 4.4.0 and 5.2.0, several modules only intended for
internal usage were mistakenly exposed to user code through `require()`. These
modules were:
* `v8/tools/codemap`
* `v8/tools/consarray`
* `v8/tools/csvparser`
* `v8/tools/logreader`
* `v8/tools/profile_view`
* `v8/tools/profile`
* `v8/tools/SourceMap`
* `v8/tools/splaytree`
* `v8/tools/tickprocessor-driver`
* `v8/tools/tickprocessor`
* `node-inspect/lib/_inspect` (from 7.6.0)
* `node-inspect/lib/internal/inspect_client` (from 7.6.0)
* `node-inspect/lib/internal/inspect_repl` (from 7.6.0)
The `v8/*` modules do not have any exports, and if not imported in a specific
order would in fact throw errors. As such there are virtually no legitimate use
cases for importing them through `require()`.
On the other hand, `node-inspect` can be installed locally through a package
manager, as it is published on the npm registry under the same name. No source
code modification is necessary if that is done.

The `dgram` module previously contained several APIs that were never meant to
accessed outside of Node.js core: `Socket.prototype._handle`,
`Socket.prototype._receiving`, `Socket.prototype._bindState`,
`Socket.prototype._queue`, `Socket.prototype._reuseAddr`,
`Socket.prototype._healthCheck()`, `Socket.prototype._stopReceiving()`, and
`dgram._createSocketHandle()`.

Type: End-of-Life
Previous versions of Node.js exposed handles to internal native objects through
the `_handle` property of the `Cipher`, `Decipher`, `DiffieHellman`,
`DiffieHellmanGroup`, `ECDH`, `Hash`, `Hmac`, `Sign`, and `Verify` classes.
The `_handle` property has been removed because improper use of the native
object can lead to crashing the application.
### DEP0118: `dns.lookup()` support for a falsy host name
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v11.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23173
description: Runtime deprecation.

Type: Runtime
Previous versions of Node.js supported `dns.lookup()` with a falsy host name
like `dns.lookup(false)` due to backward compatibility.
This behavior is undocumented and is thought to be unused in real world apps.
It will become an error in future versions of Node.js.
### DEP0119: `process.binding('uv').errname()` private API

Type: Runtime
The previously undocumented `timers.active()` is deprecated.
Please use the publicly documented [`timeout.refresh()`][] instead.
If re-referencing the timeout is necessary, [`timeout.ref()`][] can be used
with no performance impact since Node.js 10.
### DEP0127: `timers._unrefActive()`
<!-- YAML

Type: Runtime
Modules that have an invalid `main` entry (e.g., `./does-not-exist.js`) and
also have an `index.js` file in the top level directory will resolve the
`index.js` file. That is deprecated and is going to throw an error in future
Node.js versions.
### DEP0129: `ChildProcess._channel`

pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29061
description: Runtime deprecation.

Type: Runtime
[`WriteStream.open()`][] and [`ReadStream.open()`][] are undocumented internal
APIs that do not make sense to use in userland. File streams should always be
opened through their corresponding factory methods [`fs.createWriteStream()`][]
and [`fs.createReadStream()`][]) or by passing a file descriptor in options.
### DEP0136: `http` `finished`
<!-- YAML

- version:
- v13.4.0
- v12.16.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28679
description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->
Type: Documentation-only
[`response.finished`][] indicates whether [`response.end()`][] has been
called, not whether `'finish'` has been emitted and the underlying data
is flushed.
Use [`response.writableFinished`][] or [`response.writableEnded`][]
accordingly instead to avoid the ambiguity.
To maintain existing behavior `response.finished` should be replaced with
`response.writableEnded`.
### DEP0137: Closing fs.FileHandle on garbage collection
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v14.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28396
description: Runtime deprecation.
-->
Type: Runtime
Allowing a [`fs.FileHandle`][] object to be closed on garbage collection is
deprecated. In the future, doing so might result in a thrown error that will
terminate the process.
Please ensure that all `fs.FileHandle` objects are explicitly closed using
`FileHandle.prototype.close()` when the `fs.FileHandle` is no longer needed:
```js
const fsPromises = require('fs').promises;
async function openAndClose() {
let filehandle;
try {
filehandle = await fsPromises.open('thefile.txt', 'r');
} finally {
if (filehandle !== undefined)
await filehandle.close();
}
}

### DEP0138: `process.mainModule`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v14.0.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/32232
description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->
Type: Documentation-only
[`process.mainModule`][] is a CommonJS-only feature while `process` global
object is shared with non-CommonJS environment. Its use within ECMAScript
modules is unsupported.
It is deprecated in favor of [`require.main`][], because it serves the same
purpose and is only available on CommonJS environment.
### DEP0139: `process.umask()` with no arguments
<!-- YAML

- version:
- v14.0.0
- v12.19.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/32499
description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->
Type: Documentation-only
Calling `process.umask()` with no argument causes the process-wide umask to be
written twice. This introduces a race condition between threads, and is a
potential security vulnerability. There is no safe, cross-platform alternative
API.
### DEP0140: Use `request.destroy()` instead of `request.abort()`

Type: Documentation-only (supports [`--pending-deprecation`][])
The `repl` module exported the input and output stream twice. Use `.input`
instead of `.inputStream` and `.output` instead of `.outputStream`.
### DEP0142: `repl._builtinLibs`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v14.3.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/33294
description: Documentation-only (supports [`--pending-deprecation`][]).
-->
Type: Documentation-only
The `repl` module exports a `_builtinLibs` property that contains an array with
native modules. It was incomplete so far and instead it's better to rely upon
`require('module').builtinModules`.
### DEP0143: `Transform._transformState`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version: v14.5.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/33126

Type: Runtime
`Transform._transformState` will be removed in future versions where it is
no longer required due to simplification of the implementation.
### DEP0144: `module.parent`
<!-- YAML
changes:
- version:
- v14.6.0
- v12.19.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/32217
description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->
Type: Documentation-only (supports [`--pending-deprecation`][])
A CommonJS module can access the first module that required it using
`module.parent`. This feature is deprecated because it does not work
consistently in the presence of ECMAScript modules and because it gives an
inaccurate representation of the CommonJS module graph.
Some modules use it to check if they are the entry point of the current process.
Instead, it is recommended to compare `require.main` and `module`:
```js
if (require.main === module) {
// Code section that will run only if current file is the entry point.
}
```
When looking for the CommonJS modules that have required the current one,
`require.cache` and `module.children` can be used:
```js
const moduleParents = Object.values(require.cache)
.filter((m) => m.children.includes(module));
```
### DEP0145: `socket.bufferSize`
<!-- YAML

Previously, `index.js` and extension searching lookups would apply to
`import 'pkg'` main entry point resolution, even when resolving ES modules.

Type: Documentation-only
Move to {Stream} API instead, as the [`http.ClientRequest`][],
[`http.ServerResponse`][], and [`http.IncomingMessage`][] are all stream-based.
Check `stream.destroyed` instead of the `.aborted` property, and listen for
`'close'` instead of `'abort'`, `'aborted'` event.
The `.aborted` property and `'abort'` event are only useful for detecting
`.abort()` calls. For closing a request early, use the Stream
`.destroy([error])` then check the `.destroyed` property and `'close'` event
should have the same effect. The receiving end should also check the
[`readable.readableEnded`][] value on [`http.IncomingMessage`][] to get whether
it was an aborted or graceful destroy.
