## Event: 'unhandledRejection'
Emitted whenever a `Promise` is rejected and no error handler is attached to
the promise within a turn of the event loop. When programming with promises
exceptions are encapsulated as rejected promises. Such promises can be caught
and handled using `promise.catch(...)` and rejections are propagated through
a promise chain. This event is useful for detecting and keeping track of
promises that were rejected whose rejections were not handled yet. This event
is emitted with the following arguments:
- `reason` the object with which the promise was rejected (usually an `Error`
instance).
- `p` the promise that was rejected.
Here is an example that logs every unhandled rejection to the console
process.on('unhandledRejection', function(reason, p) {
console.log("Unhandled Rejection at: Promise ", p, " reason: ", reason);
// application specific logging, throwing an error, or other logic here
});
For example, here is a rejection that will trigger the `'unhandledRejection'`
event:
somePromise.then(function(res) {
return reportToUser(JSON.pasre(res)); // note the typo
}); // no `.catch` or `.then`
## Event: 'rejectionHandled'
Emitted whenever a Promise was rejected and an error handler was attached to it
(for example with `.catch()` ) later than after an event loop turn. This event
is emitted with the following arguments:
- `p` the promise that was previously emitted in an 'unhandledRejection'
event, but which has now gained a rejection handler.
There is no notion of a top level for a promise chain at which rejections can
always be handled. Being inherently asynchronous in nature, a promise rejection
can be be handled at a future point in time — possibly much later than the
event loop turn it takes for the 'unhandledRejection' event to be emitted.
Another way of stating this is that, unlike in synchronous code where there is
an ever-growing list of unhandled exceptions, with promises there is a
growing-and-shrinking list of unhandled rejections. In synchronous code, the
'uncaughtException' event tells you when the list of unhandled exceptions
grows. And in asynchronous code, the 'unhandledRejection' event tells you
when the list of unhandled rejections grows, while the 'rejectionHandled'
event tells you when the list of unhandled rejections shrinks.
For example using the rejection detection hooks in order to keep a list of all
the rejected promises at a given time:
var unhandledRejections = [];
process.on('unhandledRejection', function(reason, p) {
unhandledRejections.push(p);
});
process.on('rejectionHandled', function(p) {
var index = unhandledRejections.indexOf(p);
unhandledRejections.splice(index, 1);
});
