slownode

0.5.3 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

slownode is a minimal npm package (v0.5.3) that provides persistent event loop, emitter, promise, and slow function utilities. It ships with TypeScript type definitions. The package is in early development with many terms marked as TODO in the README. It is primarily an experimental tool for working with persistent event loops and custom JASM bytecode interpretation. Current release cadence is unknown. Differentiators include a unique bytecode interpreter approach (JASM) and persistent event loop patterns. Not suitable for production use.

Common errors

error Cannot find module 'slownode' ↓

cause Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run npm install slownode --save

error ERR_REQUIRE_ESM: require() of ES Module not supported ↓

cause Using CommonJS require() on an ESM-only package.

fix

Use import statement or dynamic import().

error TypeError: createEventLoop is not a function ↓

cause Incorrect import: either wrong symbol or default import used.

fix

Ensure correct named import: import { createEventLoop } from 'slownode'

Warnings

gotcha Package is in early development; many features are incomplete or marked as TODO. ↓

fix Check the GitHub repository for the latest status and roadmap.

breaking The API is unstable and may change without notice between minor versions. ↓

fix Pin to exact version and test upgrades carefully.

gotcha Documentation is minimal; many terms (KVON, JASM, Epoch) are undefined. ↓

fix Refer to the GitHub repository for source code and examples.

gotcha No tests or CI are publicly visible; reliability is unknown. ↓

fix Evaluate risk for production use; consider alternative packages.

Install

npm install slownode

yarn add slownode

pnpm add slownode

Imports

slownode

wrong

const slownode = require('slownode')

correct

import { slownode } from 'slownode'

This package is ESM-only and requires named import.

createEventLoop
```
import { createEventLoop } from 'slownode'
```
No CommonJS require pattern because package is ESM-only.

JASMInterpreter

wrong

import JASMInterpreter from 'slownode'

correct

import { JASMInterpreter } from 'slownode'

Default export is not available; must use named import.

Quickstart

Creates a persistent event loop and a JASM bytecode interpreter, then runs the loop for 5 seconds.

import { createEventLoop, JASMInterpreter } from 'slownode';

const loop = createEventLoop();
const interpreter = new JASMInterpreter();

loop.on('tick', () => {
  console.log('Tick');
});

loop.start();

// After some time
setTimeout(() => loop.stop(), 5000);
