javascript - How would I get the listener port from Opine as I would in Express?

Question

I'm trying to use this code I normally used in express, but in Opine with Deno and it doesn't work, is there any way that I can get the port from the listener function on Opine?

let listener = app.listen(randomPort, function(){
    console.log('Listening on port ' + listener.address().port);
});

Currently, the interfaces defined in the module won't show this, but after a bit of console logging, I see that when running your code:

let listener = app.listen(randomPort, function(){
    console.log('Listening on port ' + listener.address().port);
});

the value of listener.listener.addr is an object like this:

{ hostname: "0.0.0.0", port: 8000, transport: "tcp" }

Unfortunately, since this is not explicitly declared in the type, you'll get a linting error if you're using TypeScript. We can hack around this with a bit of type coercion:

const currentPort: number = (listener.listener.addr as { port: number }).port
