This npm package, `tls` at version `0.0.1`, appears to be an extremely old, unmaintained, and effectively abandoned placeholder or component related to the `js-utils` project by rolandpoulter. Its published description is merely a Travis CI build badge for `js-utils`, and its GitHub repository link also directs to `js-utils`. It is crucial to note that this package is *not* the built-in Node.js `tls` module, which provides core Transport Layer Security functionality and is accessed directly within Node.js environments without an npm install. There is no documented API, known symbols for import, or discernible purpose for this specific npm package. Consequently, there is no current stable version, no active release cadence, and no key differentiators as it offers no functional utility. Developers seeking TLS functionality should rely on Node.js's native `tls` module.

Verified usage

This quickstart illustrates the correct usage of the Node.js built-in `tls` module, as the npm package `tls@0.0.1` provides no functional API. It demonstrates setting up a basic TLS server.

// This package (npm:tls@0.0.1) provides no discernible API or functionality. // Attempting to import or use it is not recommended as it appears to be an abandoned placeholder. // The Node.js built-in 'tls' module is accessed directly: // ESM import for Node.js built-in 'tls' module (since Node.js v14.13.0) // import tls from 'node:tls'; // CommonJS require for Node.js built-in 'tls' module const tls = require('node:tls'); // Example of using the Node.js built-in 'tls' module to create a secure server const fs = require('fs'); const path = require('path'); const options = { key: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'server-key.pem')), cert: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'server-cert.pem')), // ca: [fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'ca-cert.pem'))], // Optional: for client authentication }; tls.createServer(options, (socket) => { console.log('client connected', socket.authorized ? 'authorized' : 'unauthorized'); socket.write('welcome!\n'); socket.setEncoding('utf8'); socket.on('data', (data) => { console.log('client data:', data); }); socket.on('end', () => { console.log('client disconnected'); }); socket.on('error', (err) => { console.error('TLS socket error:', err); }); }).listen(8000, () => { console.log('TLS server listening on port 8000'); }); // Note: 'server-key.pem' and 'server-cert.pem' would need to be generated // (e.g., using OpenSSL) for this example to run. // This quickstart demonstrates the *correct* way to use Node.js TLS, not the npm 'tls@0.0.1' package.
Debug
Known issues
breakingThis npm package (`tls@0.0.1`) is not the built-in Node.js `tls` module. Installing or attempting to use `tls@0.0.1` from npm will *not* provide Node.js core TLS functionality.
fix
Do not install `tls@0.0.1` for Node.js TLS functionality; the correct module is built-in and accessed via `require('node:tls')` or `import tls from 'node:tls'`.
affects: >=0.0.1
gotchaThe package's npm description and repository link directly to the `js-utils` project (github.com/rolandpoulter/js-utils), with no specific documentation or code related to TLS within this `tls` package itself. Its purpose is unclear and likely superseded or abandoned.
fix
Verify the actual content and intent of any npm package before attempting to use it, especially when metadata is mismatched.
affects: >=0.0.1
gotchaThis package is extremely old (version `0.0.1`) and appears to be unmaintained or abandoned. Using such old, undocumented code poses significant security risks and offers no functional utility.
fix
Avoid using abandoned packages. For TLS functionality, rely on the actively maintained and secure built-in Node.js `tls` module.
affects: >=0.0.1
