Node.js – util.deprecate() method
The util.deprecate() method wraps fn (that may be a function or class) in such a way that it is marketed as a deprecated method. The util.deprecate() method returns a function that emits a DeprecationWarning. This warning is printed to the stderr when the function is called the first time. The function is called without any warning once the warning is emitted.
Syntax
util.deprecate( fn, msg, [code] )
Parameters
The parameters are defined below:
- fn − The function that needs to be deprecated.
- msg − This is a warning message which is invoked once the deprecated function is called.
- code − This is an optional parameter which displays the passed code for deprecated function.
Example 1
Create a file named "deprecate.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node deprecate.js" to run this code.
const util = require('util');
var deprecateFunction = util.deprecate(
// Defining the deprecated function
function () { },
// Msg printed for deprecation
"Warning: This method is deprecated !",
// Deprecated API
'Deprication API'
);
// Function call
deprecateFunction();Output
