executionAsyncId

external fun executionAsyncId(): Double(source)

import { executionAsyncId } from 'node:async_hooks';
import fs from 'node:fs';

console.log(executionAsyncId());  // 1 - bootstrap
const path = '.';
fs.open(path, 'r', (err, fd) => {
  console.log(executionAsyncId());  // 6 - open()
});

The ID returned from executionAsyncId() is related to execution timing, not causality (which is covered by triggerAsyncId()):

const server = net.createServer((conn) => {
  // Returns the ID of the server, not of the new connection, because the
  // callback runs in the execution scope of the server's MakeCallback().
  async_hooks.executionAsyncId();

}).listen(port, () => {
  // Returns the ID of a TickObject (process.nextTick()) because all
  // callbacks passed to .listen() are wrapped in a nextTick().
  async_hooks.executionAsyncId();
});

Promise contexts may not get precise executionAsyncIds by default. See the section on promise execution tracking.

Since

v8.1.0

Return

The asyncId of the current execution context. Useful to track when something calls.
