| # `repl` classes DEP0185 | ||
|  | ||
| This recipe provides a guide for migrating from the deprecated instantiation of `node:repl` classes without `new` to proper class instantiation in Node.js. | ||
|  | ||
| See [DEP0185](https://nodejs.org/api/deprecations.html#DEP0185). | ||
|  | ||
| ## Example | ||
|  | ||
| **Before:** | ||
|  | ||
| ```js | ||
| const repl = require("node:repl"); | ||
| const { REPLServer, Recoverable } = require("node:repl"); | ||
| import { REPLServer } from "node:repl"; | ||
| const { REPLServer: REPL } = await import("node:repl"); | ||
|  | ||
| // Missing 'new' keyword | ||
| const server1 = repl.REPLServer(); | ||
| const server2 = REPLServer({ prompt: ">>> " }); | ||
| const server3 = repl.Recoverable(); | ||
| const error = Recoverable(new SyntaxError()); | ||
| const server4 = REPL({ prompt: ">>> " }); | ||
| ``` | ||
|  | ||
| **After:** | ||
|  | ||
| ```js | ||
| const repl = require("node:repl"); | ||
| const { REPLServer, Recoverable } = require("node:repl"); | ||
| import { REPLServer } from "node:repl"; | ||
| const { REPLServer: REPL } = await import("node:repl"); | ||
|  | ||
| // With 'new' keyword | ||
| const server1 = new repl.REPLServer(); | ||
| const server2 = new REPLServer({ prompt: ">>> " }); | ||
| const server3 = new repl.Recoverable(); | ||
| const error = new Recoverable(new SyntaxError()); | ||
| const server4 = new REPL({ prompt: ">>> " }); | ||
| ``` |
