# node-portfinder
[](https://github.com/http-party/node-portfinder/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
## Installation
You can install `portfinder` using a package manager like npm, yarn, or bun:
``` bashnpm install portfinder```
## Usage
The `portfinder` module has a simple interface:
``` jsconst portfinder = require('portfinder');
portfinder.getPort(function (err, port) { // // `port` is guaranteed to be a free port // in this scope. //});```
Or using promises:
``` jsconst 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. // });```
### Ports search scope
By default `portfinder` will start searching from `8000` and scan until maximum port number (`65535`) is reached.
You can change this globally by setting:
```jsportfinder.setBasePort(3000); // default: 8000portfinder.setHighestPort(3333); // default: 65535```
or by passing optional options object on each invocation:
```jsportfinder.getPort({ port: 3000, // minimum port stopPort: 3333 // maximum port}, callback);```
## Run Tests
``` bashnpm test```
