# @ava/get-port

AVA 4 plugin which works like [`get-port`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/get-port), but ensures the port is locked across all test files.

Install this as a development dependency alongside AVA itself:

```console
npm install --save-dev @ava/get-port
```

## Usage

```ts
import getPort from '@ava/get-port';

test.before('get port', async t => {
  t.context.port = await getPort();
});
```

`getPort()` reserves a port, such that no other concurrently executing test file also using `getPort()` will select that same port. To ensure the port is available it then (briefly) listens. You can [pass options used when listening](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/net.html#net_server_listen_options_callback). You can't pass `port` though.
