import { EventEmitterAsyncResource, EventEmitter } from 'node:events';

// Async tracking tooling will identify this as 'Q'.
const ee1 = new EventEmitterAsyncResource({ name: 'Q' });

// 'foo' listeners will run in the EventEmitters async context.
ee1.on('foo', () => {

});

const ee2 = new EventEmitter();

// 'foo' listeners on ordinary EventEmitters that do not track async
// context, however, run in the same async context as the emit().
ee2.on('foo', () => {

Promise.resolve().then(() => {

The EventEmitterAsyncResource class has the same methods and takes the same options as EventEmitter and AsyncResource themselves.
