# node-portfinder [](https://travis-ci.org/indexzero/node-portfinder)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` bash
|
||
|
|
$ [sudo] npm install portfinder
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
The `portfinder` module has a simple interface:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
var portfinder = require('portfinder');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
portfinder.getPort(function (err, port) {
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// `port` is guaranteed to be a free port
|
||
|
|
// in this scope.
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or with promise (if Promise are supported) :
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
const portfinder = require('portfinder');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
portfinder.getPortPromise()
|
||
|
|
.then((port) => {
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// `port` is guaranteed to be a free port
|
||
|
|
// in this scope.
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
.catch((err) => {
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// Could not get a free port, `err` contains the reason.
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If `portfinder.getPortPromise()` is called on a Node version without Promise (<4), it will throw an Error unless [Bluebird](http://bluebirdjs.com/docs/getting-started.html) or any Promise pollyfill is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default `portfinder` will start searching from `8000`. To change this simply set `portfinder.basePort`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Run Tests
|
||
|
|
``` bash
|
||
|
|
$ npm test
|
||
|
|
```
