const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  // Setting headers
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');

  // Simulating some processing delay
  setTimeout(() => {
    // Sending the response
    res.statusCode = 200;
    res.end('Hello, world!');
  }, 1000);
});

// Start the server
server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});

cannot set headers after they are sent to the client nodejs

HTTP uses a cycle that requires one response per request. When the client sends a request (e.g. POST or GET) the server should only send one response back to it.

This error message:

Error: Can't set headers after they are sent.

usually happens when you send several responses for one request. Make sure the following functions are called only once per request:

res.json()
res.send()
res.redirect()
res.render()
(and a few more that are rarely used, check the accepted answer)

The route callback will not return when these res functions are called. It will continue running until it hits the end of the function or a return statement. If you want to return when sending a response you can do it like so: return res.send().

app.get('/a', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello World!');
  // ⛔️ Calling send method twice
  res.send('Hello World!');
});

app.get('/b', (req, res) => {
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
  res.send('Hello World!');
  // ⛔️ Setting headers after response has been sent
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
});

app.get('/c', (req, res) => {
  // ⛔️ Using both send and redirect in a single request
  res.send('Hello World!!!');
  res.redirect('/articles');
});

Error: can't set headers after they are sent.
this error happen when you send multiple response .

for example :-


var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
const Jwt= require('jsonwebtoken');
const jwtKey='e-comm'

/* GET login. */
let testName='test';
let testEmail='test@gmail.com';
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
    console.log("req",req.body)
const {name,email}=req.body;
    if(name==testName && email==testEmail){
        let token=Jwt.sign({name,email},jwtKey,{expiresIn:'1h'});
        res.json({										
            success:true,
            token
        })
    }
  res.send('login page');
});

module.exports = router;

in above example i send two types so i get error remove the last one response 


var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
const Jwt= require('jsonwebtoken');
const jwtKey='e-comm'

/* GET login. */
let testName='test';
let testEmail='test@gmail.com';
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
    console.log("req",req.body)
const {name,email}=req.body;
    if(name==testName && email==testEmail){
        let token=Jwt.sign({name,email},jwtKey,{expiresIn:'1h'});
        res.json({										
            success:true,
            token
        })
    }
  
});

module.exports = router;
