doc: document deprecation of util.is* functions #2447

thefourtheye · 2015-08-19T20:45:13Z

This patch documents the deprecation of util.is* functions.

Previous Effort: #1301

Official deprecation policy states that, we need to start with documenting the deprecation first. Hence the attempt.

doc/api/util.markdown

@@ -399,6 +414,7 @@ Returns `true` if the given "object" is a `Buffer`. `false` otherwise.
    util.isBuffer(new Buffer('hello world'))
      // true

+_Note: This function is deprecated._

 ## util.inherits(constructor, superConstructor)


inherits is deprecated?
The entire planet uses it. What's the new preferred way (apart from ES6 classes)?

@ronkorving, this is util.isBuffer(), not util.inherits().

Ah, thank god :) Sorry

jasnell · 2015-08-22T05:25:21Z

While this is fine in general, it's a bit unfortunate that we define a "stability index" (https://iojs.org/api/documentation.html#documentation_stability_index) but do not appear to be using it consistently. Example: https://iojs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_exists_path_callback and https://iojs.org/api/util.html#util_util_debug_string

Given that util.markdown uses Stability: 0 elsewhere, can you update this to be consistent?

This patch documentes the deprecation of util.is* functions. [Official deprecation policy](nodejs/dev-policy/issues/49) states that, we need to start with documenting the deprecation first. So, this is the first step towards officially removing them.

thefourtheye · 2015-08-22T09:43:48Z

@jasnell Ah, my bad. I proposed #2450 and I forgot to update this PR. PTAL now.

jasnell · 2015-08-23T16:05:16Z

LGTM

rvagg · 2015-08-24T00:26:20Z

io.js TC agreed to deprecation here: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/tsc-meetings/io.js/2015-04-08.md#1301-utilis-deprecations

I'm +1 on documenting this so lgtm

Fishrock123 · 2015-08-24T00:42:37Z

Should probably include something pointing to replacements. @ljharb, did you have replacements for each one?

thefourtheye · 2015-08-24T00:51:20Z

You mean like core-util-is?

ljharb · 2015-08-24T00:54:45Z

I don't have a replacement for 100% of them but I certainly can provide them if you like. I've got modules for most all the hard ones, and the others are either built into the language or oneliners.

rvagg · 2015-08-24T00:56:05Z

I'm -1 on pointing to userland modules if that's what we're talking about, it's effectively blessing them and prematurely squashing competition, I don't believe we have a precedent for that in our docs yet and we shouldn't start one

thefourtheye · 2015-08-24T00:59:40Z

I agree with @rvagg.

ljharb · 2015-08-24T01:00:28Z

That's totally fine to not point to userland modules - but with ES6, the methods will quickly become broken, so they'll either need removal or repair.

Fishrock123 · 2015-08-24T01:11:51Z

or repair.

nope not doing that nuh-uh nope nope

LGTM then. In like 6.0 maybe we can warn on usage.

Fishrock123 · 2015-08-24T01:12:30Z

Actually, hold that thought.

Can we just remove the documentation altogether and only mention them under a deprecated heading?

rvagg · 2015-08-24T01:23:11Z

Can we just remove the documentation altogether and only mention them under a deprecated heading?

There may be existing links to those docs and users who expect to find them in that particular place, I'd go with just changing the stability label for now and escalating in v5, v6 and beyond

Fishrock123 · 2015-08-24T01:26:08Z

shrug LGTM

thefourtheye · 2015-08-24T01:39:04Z

So the plan is to issue warning in 5.0.0 and schedule for removal in 6.0.0, right?

rvagg · 2015-08-24T01:41:19Z

welll ... actual removal is another matter, let's get to the warning first, it's possible we'll put off removal for longer than that

ljharb · 2015-08-24T01:59:53Z

Just be aware that the instant you bring in a v8 that supports Symbol.toStringTag, they'll all be broken - I strongly recommend making that the one where you remove the methods.

thefourtheye · 2015-08-24T02:02:23Z

But then once that lands, there ll be no reliable way, right? If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, its a duck, right?

ljharb · 2015-08-24T02:27:06Z

No - there's still reliable ways. They just involve try/catch. See https://github.com/ljharb/is-string/blob/master/index.js#L3-L11 for an example.

This patch documentes the deprecation of util.is* functions. As per the deprecation policy dicussion, nodejs/dev-policy/issues/49, we need to start with documenting the deprecation. So, this is the first step towards officially removing them.

thefourtheye · 2015-08-24T02:51:42Z

@ljharb Thanks :-) But String.prototype.valueOf doesn't say anything about throwing an error, right?

ljharb · 2015-08-24T05:02:50Z

@thefourtheye http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-string.prototype.valueof points to http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-properties-of-the-string-prototype-object which throws if the object lacks a [[StringData]] internal slot.

Any `'data'` listeners on the `net.Socket` will result in the data being "unconsumed" into JavaScript, thereby undoing any performance gains.

[#2507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2507) * Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1264). * Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/690) * `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/760). * Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/894) * `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1435). ### Commits * [[`1a531b4e44`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/1a531b4e44)] - **(SEMVER-MINOR)** Introduce --link-module to ./configure (Bradley Meck) [#2497](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2497) * [[`d2f314c190`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/d2f314c190)] - **build**: fix borked chmod call for release uploads (Rod Vagg) [#2645](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2645) * [[`3172e9c541`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/3172e9c541)] - **build**: set file permissions before uploading (Rod Vagg) [#2623](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2623) * [[`a860d7fae1`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/a860d7fae1)] - **build**: change staging directory on new server (Rod Vagg) [#2623](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2623) * [[`50c0baa8d7`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/50c0baa8d7)] - **build**: rename 'doc' directory to 'docs' for upload (Rod Vagg) [#2623](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2623) * [[`0a0577cf5f`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/0a0577cf5f)] - **build**: fix bad cherry-pick for vcbuild.bat build-release (Rod Vagg) [#2625](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2625) * [[`34de90194b`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/34de90194b)] - **build**: only define NODE_V8_OPTIONS if not empty (Evan Lucas) [#2532](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2532) * [[`944174b189`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/944174b189)] - **build**: make ci test addons in test/addons (Ben Noordhuis) [#2428](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2428) * [[`e955f9a1b0`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/e955f9a1b0)] - **crypto**: Use OPENSSL_cleanse to shred the data.

(Bradley Meck) [#2353](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2353) * **node**: Startup time is now about 5% faster when not passing V8 flags. (Evan Lucas) [#2483](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2483) * **repl**: Tab-completion now works better with arrays. (James M Snell) [#2409](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2409) * **string_bytes**: Fixed an unaligned write in the handling of UCS2 encoding. (Fedor Indutny) [#2480](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2480) * **tls**: Added a new `--tls-cipher-list` flag that can be used to override the built-in default cipher list. (James M Snell) [#2412](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2412) _Note: it is suggested you use the built-in cipher list as it has been carefully selected to reflect current security best practices and risk mitigation._ ### Known issues See https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues. * Some uses of computed object shorthand properties are not handled correctly by the current version of V8. e.g. `[{ [prop]: val }]` evaluates to `[{}]`. [#2507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2507) * Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1264). * Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/690) * `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/760). * Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/894) * `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1435). ### Commits * [[`1cd794f129`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/1cd794f129)] -

Due to changes in V8, it has been necessary to reimplement `Buffer` on top of V8's `Uint8Array`. Every effort has been made to minimize the performance impact, however `Buffer` instantiation is measurably slower. Access operations may be faster in some circumstances but the exact performance profile and difference over previous versions will depend on how `Buffer` is used within applications. (Trevor Norris) [#1825](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1825). - `Buffer` can now take `ArrayBuffer`s as a constructor argument (Trevor Norris) [#2002](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2002). - When a single buffer is passed to `Buffer.concat()`, a new, copied `Buffer` object will be returned; previous behavior was to return the original `Buffer` object (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#1937](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1937). * **build**: PPC support has been added to core to allow compiling on pLinux BE and LE (AIX support coming soon) (Michael Dawson) [#2124](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2124). * **dgram**: If an error occurs within `socket.send()` and a callback has been provided, the error is only passed as the first argument to the callback and not emitted on the `socket` object; previous behavior was to do both (Matteo Collina & Chris Dickinson) [#1796](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1796) * **freelist**: Deprecate the undocumented `freelist` core module (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) [#2176](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2176). * **http**: - Status codes now all use the official [IANA names](http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes) as per [RFC7231](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231), e.g. `http.STATUS_CODES[414]` now returns `'URI Too Long'` rather than `'Request-URI Too Large'` (jomo) [#1470](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1470). - Calling .getName() on an HTTP agent no longer returns a trailing colon, HTTPS agents will no longer return an extra colon near the middle of the string (Brendan Ashworth) [#1617](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/1617). * **node**: - `NODE_MODULE_VERSION` has been bumped to `45` to reflect the break in ABI (Rod Vagg) [#2096](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2096). - Introduce a new `process.release` object that contains a `name` property set to `'io.js'` and `sourceUrl`, `headersUrl` and `libUrl` (Windows only) properties containing URLs for the relevant resources; this is intended to be used by node-gyp (Rod Vagg) [#2154](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2154). - The version of node-gyp bundled with io.js now downloads and uses a tarball of header files from iojs.org rather than the full source for compiling native add-ons; it is hoped this is a temporary floating patch and the change will be upstreamed to node-gyp soon (Rod Vagg) [#2066](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2066). * **repl**: Persistent history is now enabled by default. The history file is located at ~/.node_repl_history, which can be overridden by the new environment variable `NODE_REPL_HISTORY`. This deprecates the previous `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_FILE` variable. Additionally, the format of the file has been changed to plain text to better handle file corruption. (Jeremiah Senkpiel) [#2224](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2224). * **smalloc**: The `smalloc` module has been removed as it is no longer possible to provide the API due to changes in V8 (Ben Noordhuis) [#2022](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2022). * **tls**: Add `server.getTicketKeys()` and `server.setTicketKeys()` methods for [TLS session key](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5077.txt) rotation (Fedor Indutny) [#2227](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2227). * **v8**: Upgraded to 4.4.63.26 - ES6: Enabled [computed property names](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Object_initializer#Computed_property_names) - ES6: `Array` can now be subclassed in strict mode - ES6: Implement [rest parameters](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/rest_parameters) in staging, use the `--harmony-rest-parameters` command line flag - ES6: Implement the [spread operator](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator) in staging, use the `--harmony-spreadcalls` command line flag - Removed `SetIndexedPropertiesToExternalArrayData` and related APIs, forcing a shift to `Buffer` to be reimplemented based on `Uint8Array` - Introduction of `Maybe` and `MaybeLocal` C++ API for objects which _may_ or _may not_ have a value. - Added support for PPC See also https://github.com/nodejs/node/wiki/Breaking-Changes#300-from-2x for a summary of the breaking changes (SEMVER-MAJOR). ### Known issues See https://github.com/nodejs/node/labels/confirmed-bug for complete and current list of known issues. * Some problems with unreferenced timers running during `beforeExit` are still to be resolved. See [#1264](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1264). * Surrogate pair in REPL can freeze terminal. [#690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/690) * `process.send()` is not synchronous as the docs suggest, a regression introduced in 1.0.2, see [#760](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/760). * Calling `dns.setServers()` while a DNS query is in progress can cause the process to crash on a failed assertion. [#894](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/894) * `url.resolve` may transfer the auth portion of the url when resolving between two full hosts, see [#1435](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1435). ### Commits * [[`60a974d200`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/60a974d200)] -

I'm -1 on pointing to userland modules if that's what we're talking about, it's effectively blessing them and prematurely squashing competition, I don't believe we have a precedent for that in our docs yet and we shouldn't start one

Totally agree, however the issue of leaving users stranded still remains, it would be good to make the process of finding suitable userland modules easier - for instance what do people search for? Perhaps we can just supply a link to the npm search page, that is filtered by a particular search or keyword that alternatives have in common or should provide.

ljharb · 2015-09-09T13:47:15Z

@balupton if https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=ljharb+is doesn't cover you, please contact me off-thread and i'll either build what you need or point you in the right direction.

@ljharb nifty, was saying this a user and as an alternative library owner.

maboiteaspam · 2015-12-02T12:40:07Z

Hi, as end user,

this documentation page is really disturbing.

https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_isfunction_object

What seems to be a core feature for many other language is deprecated.

And there s no documented alternative at all.

More over, the module has a stability=2, but the members are stability=0. What does it mean ?

And when i get to read the description of the module. Really, i wonder even more.

How about documenting a workable-plain-nodejs fashion to go with for any new/not-so-new user of the language ?

for any other user going through the same wonders

Fishrock123 · 2015-12-03T20:52:58Z

What seems to be a core feature for many other language is deprecated.

Node is not a language. It is a platform built on the JavaScript language, you can still type-check by doing what these functions were doing or using the core-util-is module on NPM.

And there s no documented alternative at all.

Correct, not yet. You can use either the above module, or replicate what the functions were doing, however, in a future version, those will not be 100% reliable.

More over, the module has a stability=2, but the members are stability=0. What does it mean ?

Everything else is stability=2 except for those.

maboiteaspam · 2015-12-04T03:39:36Z

hi, thanks for considerations!

Understood when you say nodes is not a language.

I d also like to add that i believe for many users, like me, working with node is a lesson which everyday teaches you something. For the good, no matter how hard it is.

Feel like abandoned when nodes team discard of this amazing value added which is to push/guide us doing it the right way.. Just leave us to some research on npm, so, ect.

Did not mean to be hard, sorry if i was, just tried to tell you know my feeling.

that s all.

Fishrock123 · 2015-12-04T17:16:22Z

Did not mean to be hard, sorry if i was, just tried to tell you know my feeling.

No problem, let us know if you have more questions. :) (https://github.com/nodejs/help is a good place for those too!)
