doc: Fix the `ServerResponse` methods explainations to make it clear and not puzzled #22305

ghost · 2018-08-14T01:25:52Z

In short: ServerResponse acutally inherits from OutgoingMessage,
with a series of methods like those in Stream.Writable. So we cannot
use implements(this has made poeple feel puzzled because there are
still many methods we don't need or have), so inherits from Stream is enough,
due to some core reasons and performance told by mcollina from the ref
(See some latest discussions at Ref).

I would change There's an EventEmitter with the following events to It will emit the following events:

The There's an EventEmitter part looks like it is something different from the response.

OK, fixed. Thanks!

Please could whoever lands this correct the spelling of explanations in the commit message?

I'm confused by this. Does it implement all the methods of Writeable Stream? If so, then "with all methods of Writable Stream". But if that's the case, then "implements the interface" seems correct to me in the first place.

If it's not all the methods, can we say which methods it implements and which it does not?

ghost · 2018-08-15T00:47:08Z

@Trott：

Does it implement all the methods of Writeable Stream?

The answer is：No.

So you are also feeling confused by such sayings now :)

But don't worry. Let's compare the methods together in both Stream.Writable and Stream to make it more clear!

【Stream.Writable】
writable.cork()
writable.end([chunk][, encoding][, callback])
writable.setDefaultEncoding(encoding)
writable.uncork()
writable.writableHighWaterMark
writable.write(chunk[, encoding][, callback])
writable.destroy([error])

【ServerResponse】
response.addTrailers(headers)
response.connection
response.end([data][, encoding][, callback])
response.finished
response.getHeader(name)
response.getHeaderNames()
response.getHeaders()
response.hasHeader(name)
response.headersSent
response.removeHeader(name)
response.sendDate
response.setHeader(name, value)
response.setTimeout(msecs[, callback])
response.socket
response.statusCode
response.statusMessage
response.write(chunk[, encoding][, callback])
response.writeContinue()
response.writeHead(statusCode[, statusMessage][, headers])

ONLY the two in bold below are the same (similar but NOT FROM Stream.Writable). Other methods from Stream.Writable aren't implemented yet (Maybe we don't need them according to the real case).

ghost · 2018-08-15T01:22:34Z

@Trott：Add two diff methods as more clear. Thanks

+The response inherits from [Stream][], with two methods like what we have in

Is It will emit the following events: omission intentional?

I don't think we usually preface documented events with a sentence like that so I'm for removing it.

Can we just omit the two methods and the mention of Writable Stream? The methods are documented below and mentioning Writable Stream here seems to confuse more than enlighten.

The request inherits from [Stream][].

That's all that needs to be said. (Or is there a good reason to mention the other stuff?)

Consider we still have events' introductions below it, so what about saying this as a transitional one?

ghost · 2018-08-15T12:22:38Z

@Trott：
I agree with you on your 1st point：Remove useless and disturbing statements but just keep one, which makes it clearer.

However it would be nicer if we add some transitional statement to link the explainations with the events, I don't want to see that events' introduction suddenly occur without a brief transitional introduction. Something like this：

The request inherits from [Stream][], with some properties, events and methods below:

#Event 'connect'
……

If you insist your ideas and please still tell me, I'll do what you want :)

Trott · 2018-08-15T17:32:51Z

How about this?:

The request inherits from [Stream][], and additionally implements the following:

#Event 'connect'

An interesting thing I've noticed quite long：we landed the submitted changes and closed it, instead of merging it. How to do that? Is there anything benifits/diff for doing that, compared with "merging"?

Trott · 2018-08-16T03:24:00Z

@Maledong See https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md#technical-howto for our process. There's an optional step to get things merged rather than closed. Most of us skip that step.
