# Using setupNodeEvents with Cypress preset
The [`setupNodeEvents`](https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/configuration#setupNodeEvents) function in a Cypress configuration file allows you to tap into the internal behavior of Cypress using the `on` and `config` arguments.
```ts {% fileName="cypress.config.ts" %}
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';
export default defineConfig({
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
// e2e testing node events setup code
},
},
});
```
The Cypress preset that Nx provides (`@nx/cypress/plugins/cypress-preset`) uses `setupNodeEvents` to start the web server. Thus, if you provide your own function, then you must invoke the `setupNodeEvents` function that our preset provides.
```ts {% fileName="cypress.config.ts" highlightLines=[19] %}
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';
import { nxE2EPreset } from '@nx/cypress/plugins/cypress-preset';
const preset = nxE2EPreset(__filename, {
cypressDir: 'src',
bundler: 'vite',
webServerCommands: {
default: 'nx run my-project:serve',
production: 'nx run my-project:preview',
},
ciWebServerCommand: 'nx run my-project:serve-static',
});
export default defineConfig({
e2e: {
...preset,
async setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
// This line sets up the web server as provided via `webServerCommands` and `ciWebServerCommand`
await preset.setupNodeEvents(on, config);
// Register your listeners here
},
},
});
```
{% callout type="note" title="Note on async-await" %}
The `setupNodeEvents` function from our Cypress preset returns a promise, so make sure to await the result.
