# 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.

### 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('node: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 `node: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('node:fs').constants` and `require('node: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

Type: End-of-Life

Accessing several internal, undocumented properties of `net.Server` instances
with inappropriate names is deprecated.

As the original API was undocumented and not generally useful for non-internal
code, no replacement API is provided.

### DEP0074: `REPLServer.bufferedCommand`

Type: End-of-Life

`tls.parseCertString()` was a trivial parsing helper that was made public by
mistake. While it was supposed to parse certificate subject and issuer strings,
it never handled multi-value Relative Distinguished Names correctly.

Earlier versions of this document suggested using `querystring.parse()` as an
alternative to `tls.parseCertString()`. However, `querystring.parse()` also does
not handle all certificate subjects correctly and should not be used.

### DEP0077: `Module._debug()`

Using a property named `inspect` on an object to specify a custom inspection
function for [`util.inspect()`][] is deprecated. Use [`util.inspect.custom`][]
instead. For backward compatibility with Node.js prior to version 6.4.0, both
can be specified.

### DEP0080: `path._makeLong()`

<!-- YAML

Type: Documentation-only

The internal `path._makeLong()` was not intended for public use. However,
userland modules have found it useful. The internal API is deprecated
and replaced with an identical, public `path.toNamespacedPath()` method.

### DEP0081: `fs.truncate()` using a file descriptor

Type: End-of-Life.

The `ecdhCurve` option to `tls.createSecureContext()` and `tls.TLSSocket` could
be set to `false` to disable ECDH entirely on the server only. This mode was
deprecated in preparation for migrating to OpenSSL 1.1.0 and consistency with
the client and is now unsupported. Use the `ciphers` parameter instead.

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.

Type: Deprecation revoked

Importing assert directly was not recommended as the exposed functions use
loose equality checks. The deprecation was revoked because use of the
`node:assert` module is not discouraged, and the deprecation caused developer
confusion.

### DEP0090: Invalid GCM authentication tag lengths

Type: End-of-Life

Node.js used to support all GCM authentication tag lengths which are accepted by
OpenSSL when calling [`decipher.setAuthTag()`][]. Beginning with Node.js
v11.0.0, only authentication tag lengths of 128, 120, 112, 104, 96, 64, and 32
bits are allowed. Authentication tags of other lengths are invalid per
[NIST SP 800-38D][].

Type: End-of-Life

The embedded API provided by AsyncHooks exposes `.emitBefore()` and
`.emitAfter()` methods which are very easy to use incorrectly which can lead
to unrecoverable errors.

Use [`asyncResource.runInAsyncScope()`][] API instead which provides a much
safer, and more convenient, alternative. See
<https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/18513>.

Type: Documentation-only (supports [`--pending-deprecation`][])

When assigning a non-string property to [`process.env`][], the assigned value is
implicitly converted to a string. This behavior is deprecated if the assigned

Using [`crypto.createCipher()`][] and [`crypto.createDecipher()`][] must be
avoided as they use a weak key derivation function (MD5 with no salt) and static
initialization vectors. It is recommended to derive a key using
[`crypto.pbkdf2()`][] or [`crypto.scrypt()`][] with random salts and to use
[`crypto.createCipheriv()`][] and [`crypto.createDecipheriv()`][] to obtain the
[`Cipher`][] and [`Decipher`][] objects respectively.

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.

### DEP0135: `WriteStream.open()` and `ReadStream.open()` are internal

<!-- YAML
changes:
  - version: v13.0.0
    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

    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('node:fs').promises;
async function openAndClose() {
  let filehandle;
  try {
    filehandle = await fsPromises.open('thefile.txt', 'r');
  } finally {

-->

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

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

The `node:repl` module exports a `_builtinLibs` property that contains an array
of built-in modules. It was incomplete so far and instead it's better to rely
upon `require('node:module').builtinModules`.

### DEP0143: `Transform._transformState`

`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

    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));
```

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.

Type: End-of-Life

An undocumented feature of Node.js streams was to support thenables in
implementation methods. This is now deprecated, use callbacks instead and avoid
use of async function for streams implementation methods.

This feature caused users to encounter unexpected problems where the user
implements the function in callback style but uses e.g. an async method which
would cause an error since mixing promise and callback semantics is not valid.

```js
const w = new Writable({
  async final(callback) {

    pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42714
    description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->

Type: Documentation-only

These methods were deprecated because they can be used in a way which does not
hold the channel reference alive long enough to receive the events.

Use [`diagnostics_channel.subscribe(name, onMessage)`][] or
[`diagnostics_channel.unsubscribe(name, onMessage)`][] which does the same
thing instead.

### DEP0164: `process.exit(code)`, `process.exitCode` coercion to integer

<!-- YAML
changes:
  - version: v18.10.0
    pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/44714
    description: Documentation-only deprecation of `process.exitCode` integer
                 coercion.
  - version:
    - v18.7.0
    - v16.17.0
    pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/43738
    description: Documentation-only deprecation of `process.exit(code)` integer
                 coercion.
-->

Type: Documentation-only

Values other than `undefined`, `null`, integer numbers, and integer strings
(e.g., `'1'`) are deprecated as value for the `code` parameter in
[`process.exit()`][] and as value to assign to [`process.exitCode`][].

### DEP0165: `--trace-atomics-wait`

<!-- YAML
changes:
  - version: v18.8.0
    pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/44093
    description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->

Type: Documentation-only

The [`--trace-atomics-wait`][] flag is deprecated.

### DEP0166: Double slashes in imports and exports targets

<!-- YAML
changes:
  - version: v18.10.0
    pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/44495
    description: Runtime deprecation.
  - version: v18.10.0
    pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/44477
    description: Documentation-only deprecation
                 with `--pending-deprecation` support.
-->

Type: Runtime

Package imports and exports targets mapping into paths including a double slash
(of _"/"_ or _"\\"_) are deprecated and will fail with a resolution validation
error in a future release. This same deprecation also applies to pattern matches
starting or ending in a slash.

### DEP0167: Weak `DiffieHellmanGroup` instances (`modp1`, `modp2`, `modp5`)

<!-- YAML
changes:
  - version: v18.10.0
    pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/44588
    description: Documentation-only deprecation.
-->

Type: Documentation-only

The well-known MODP groups `modp1`, `modp2`, and `modp5` are deprecated because
they are not secure against practical attacks. See [RFC 8247 Section 2.4][] for
details.

These groups might be removed in future versions of Node.js. Applications that
rely on these groups should evaluate using stronger MODP groups instead.

### DEP0168: Unhandled exception in Node-API callbacks

<!-- YAML
changes:
  - version:
    - v18.3.0
    - v16.17.0
    pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/36510
    description: Runtime deprecation.
-->

Type: Runtime.

The implicit suppression of uncaught exceptions in Node-API callbacks is now
deprecated.

Set the flag [`--force-node-api-uncaught-exceptions-policy`][] to force Node.js
to emit an [`'uncaughtException'`][] event if the exception is not handled in
Node-API callbacks.
