## Modules to Import

```js
import hiAppEvent from '@ohos.hiAppEvent';
```


## hiAppEvent.write

write(eventName: string, eventType: EventType, keyValues: object, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void

Writes event information to the event file of the current day. This API supports JSON parameters and uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.HiviewDFX.HiAppEvent

**Parameters**

| Name   | Type                     | Mandatory| Description                                                        |
| --------- | ------------------------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| eventName | string                    | Yes  | App event name.<br>You need to customize the event name. It can contain a maximum of 48 characters, including digits (0 to 9), letters (a to z), and underscores (\_). It must start with a letter.|
| eventType | [EventType](#eventtype)   | Yes  | Application event type.                                              |
| keyValues | object                    | Yes  | Parameter key-value pair. For a variable-length parameter, enter each pair of parameter name and value in sequence. For a JSON parameter, enter the parameter name as the key and parameter value as the value.<br>- A key must be a string, and a value must be a string, number, boolean, or Array (which can only be a string, number, or boolean).<br>- The number of event parameters must be less than or equal to 32.<br>- The parameter name can contain a maximum of 16 characters, including digits (0 to 9), letters (a to z), and underscores (\_). It must start with a letter and cannot end with an underscore (\_).<br>- A string value can contain a maximum of 8*1024 characters.<br>- An array value can contain a maximum of 100 elements. Excess elements will be truncated.|
| callback  | AsyncCallback&lt;void&gt; | No  | Callback used to process the received return value.<br>-&nbsp; Value **0** indicates that the event verification is successful, and the event will be written to the event file asynchronously. <br>-&nbsp; A value greater than **0** indicates that invalid parameters are present in the event, and the event will be written to the event file asynchronously after the invalid parameters are ignored. <br>-&nbsp; A value smaller than **0** indicates that the event verification fails, and the event will not be written to the event file.|

**Example**

```js
hiAppEvent.write("test_event", hiAppEvent.EventType.FAULT, {"int_data":100, "str_data":"strValue"}, (err, value) => {
    if (err) {
        // Event writing exception: Write the event to the event file after the invalid parameters in the event are ignored, or stop writing the event if the event verification fails.
        console.error(`failed to write event because ${err.code}`);
        return;
    }

    // Event writing succeeded.
    console.log(`success to write event: ${value}`);
});
```


## hiAppEvent.write

write(eventName: string, eventType: EventType, keyValues: object): Promise&lt;void&gt;

Writes event information to the event file of the current day. This API supports JSON parameters and uses a promise to return the result.

| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Promise&lt;void&gt; | Promise used to process the callback in the then() and catch() methods when event writing succeeded or failed.|
