Event Emitter
var events = require('events');
var eventEmitter = new events.EventEmitter();
Http Server Request
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res){})
Creating instance for new events.EventEmitter() not for http.createServer()
The http library exports the Server constructor so just like with eventEmitters, you can do:
let server = new http.Server(fn);
This, is exactly the same way that you do things with the events library.
http.createServer() is a factory function. It creates a Server object for you. It's not entirely obvious why they decided to also export a factory function, but you can use either the factory function or the constructor. If you look at the code for http.createServer(), you can see that this is all it does:
function createServer(requestListener) {
return new Server(requestListener);
}
where Server is the same thing as http.Server. So, the http library just offers two ways of creating a server, one of which works exactly like the events library.
