How Elide supports Node's deprecated domain module: create(), run() and the error event for synchronous and timer errors, and what to use instead.

node:domain exports Domain, create(), createDomain(), and active from Node’s deprecated domain. Synchronous and timer errors thrown inside run() go to the domain’s error event. Use Promise and EventEmitter error handling in new code.

Example

js
// domain.mjs
import domain from "node:domain";

const d = domain.create();
d.on("error", (error) => console.log("caught:", error.message));
d.run(() => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    throw new Error("timer failed");
  }, 1);
});
