## Usage

Install package:

```bash
npm i get-port-please
```

```js
// ESM
import {
  getPort,
  checkPort,
  getRandomPort,
  waitForPort,
} from "get-port-please";

// CommonJS
const {
  getPort,
  checkPort,
  getRandomPort,
  waitForPort,
} = require("get-port-please");
```

```ts
getPort(options?: GetPortOptions): Promise<number>
checkPort(port: number, host?: string): Promise<number | false>
waitForPort(port: number, options): Promise<number | false>
```

Try sequence is: port > ports > random

## Options

```ts
interface GetPortOptions {
  name?: string;

  random?: boolean;
  port?: number;
  portRange?: [fromInclusive: number, toInclusive: number];
  ports?: number[];
  host?: string;

  memoDir?: string;
  memoName?: string;
}
```

### `name`

Unique name for port memorizing. Default is `default`.

### `random`

If enabled, `port` and `ports` will be ignored. Default is `false`.

### `port`

First port to check. Default is `process.env.PORT || 3000`

### `ports`

Extended ports to check.

### `portRange`

Extended port range to check.

The range's start and end are **inclusive**, i.e. it is `[start, end]` in the mathematical notion.
Reversed port ranges are not supported. If `start > end`, then an empty range will be returned.

### `alternativePortRange`

Alternative port range to check as fallback when none of the ports are available.

The range's start and end are **inclusive**, i.e. it is `[start, end]` in the mathematical notion.
Reversed port ranges are not supported. If `start > end`, then an empty range will be returned.

The default range is `[3000, 3100]` (only when `port` is unspecified).

### `host`

The host to check. Default is `process.env.HOST` otherwise all available hosts will be checked.
