# node-portfinder [![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/http-party/node-portfinder.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/http-party/node-portfinder)
## Installation
``` bash
$ [sudo] npm install portfinder
```
## Usage
The `portfinder` module has a simple interface:
``` js
var portfinder = require('portfinder');
portfinder.getPort(function (err, port) {
//
// `port` is guaranteed to be a free port
// in this scope.
//
});
```
Or with promise (if Promise are supported) :
``` js
const 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.
//
});
```
If `portfinder.getPortPromise()` is called on a Node version without Promise (<4), it will throw an Error unless [Bluebird](http://bluebirdjs.com/docs/getting-started.html) or any Promise pollyfill is used.
### 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:
```js
portfinder.basePort = 3000; // default: 8000
portfinder.highestPort = 3333; // default: 65535
```
or by passing optional options object on each invocation:
```js
portfinder.getPort({
port: 3000, // minimum port
stopPort: 3333 // maximum port
}, callback);
```
## Run Tests
``` bash
$ npm test
```
