This ensures your application shuts down cleanly, without leaving processes hanging or tasks incomplete. +This library is designed to facilitate graceful shutdowns in Node.js applications by allowing developers to easily perform cleanup operations (like closing database connections or stopping child processes) before the process exits. Below is a guide on integrating `@push.rocks/smartexit` using TypeScript. -### Setting Up `SmartExit` in a TypeScript Project +### Basic Setup -First, ensure you have TypeScript set up in your project. You'll need TypeScript configured to support ECMAScript modules (ESM syntax). - -#### Importing `SmartExit` - -Start by importing `SmartExit`: +First, import `SmartExit` from the package: ```typescript import { SmartExit } from '@push.rocks/smartexit'; ``` -#### Initialize `SmartExit` - -Create a new `SmartExit` instance to manage your cleanup tasks and child processes: +Create an instance of `SmartExit`: ```typescript const smartExit = new SmartExit(); ``` -### Managing Child Processes - -If your application spawns child processes, `SmartExit` can ensure they are cleanly terminated during application shutdown. - -#### Adding a Child Process - -```typescript -import { spawn } from 'child_process'; - -// Example child process -const exampleProcess = spawn('my-long-running-process'); - -// Add the process to SmartExit -smartExit.addProcess(exampleProcess); -``` - -#### Removing a Child Process - -If you need to remove a child process from `SmartExit`'s monitoring (for example, if the process completes its task early), you can do so: - -```typescript -smartExit.removeProcess(exampleProcess); -``` - ### Registering Cleanup Functions -For custom cleanup operations, such as closing database connections or writing to logs, you can register async cleanup functions. These functions are executed before the application exits. +`SmartExit` enables you to define custom cleanup functions that are executed before the process exits. These functions should return a promise to ensure all asynchronous cleanup operations complete successfully. ```typescript smartExit.addCleanupFunction(async () => { console.log("Performing custom cleanup..."); - await performCleanupAsync(); + // Your cleanup operations here }); ``` -### Handling Process Signals +### Managing Child Processes -`SmartExit` automatically listens for termination signals (`SIGINT`, `SIGTERM`, etc.) and begins the cleanup process when these are received. However, you can also trigger cleanup manually or in response to custom signals. +It's common for a Node.js application to spawn child processes. `SmartExit` can also manage these, ensuring all child processes cleanly exit before the parent process exits. -#### Triggering Cleanup Manually - -In some scenarios, you may wish to initiate the cleanup process manually: +To add a child process to the management list: ```typescript -async function initiateShutdown() { - await smartExit.killAll(); - process.exit(0); -} -``` - -This approach is useful in situations where you have a custom shutdown sequence or need to perform additional actions before exiting. - -### Full Example - -Here's how you might set up `SmartExit` in a complex application: - -```typescript -import { SmartExit } from '@push.rocks/smartexit'; import { spawn } from 'child_process'; -// Setup SmartExit -const smartExit = new SmartExit(); - -// Spawn and register a child process -const childProcess = spawn('path-to-my-script'); +const childProcess = spawn('your_child_process'); smartExit.addProcess(childProcess); +``` + +If necessary, you can remove a previously added child process: + +```typescript +smartExit.removeProcess(childProcess); +``` + +### Triggering Cleanup + +`SmartExit` automatically hooks into several process signal events (like `SIGTERM` and `SIGINT`) to start the cleanup procedure. However, you can manually trigger the cleanup and exit processes: + +```typescript +await smartExit.killAll(); +process.exit(0); // or process.exit(1) to indicate an error state if needed +``` + +### Advanced Usage + +In more complex scenarios, you might need to conditionally add or remove cleanup functions and child processes, or integrate `SmartExit` with other libraries and frameworks for more comprehensive process management and shutdown procedures. Here you can leverage the full flexibility of JavaScript and TypeScript to tailor the shutdown behavior to your application's specific needs. + +#### Example: Shutdown on Uncaught Exceptions + +```typescript +process.on('uncaughtException', async (error) => { + console.error("Uncaught Exception:", error); + await smartExit.killAll(); // Ensures all cleanup functions and child processes are managed + process.exit(1); // Exits with error +}); +``` + +#### Integrating with Express + +If your application uses Express, you might want to close the server gracefully: + +```typescript +const server = app.listen(port, () => { + console.log(`Server started on port ${port}`); +}); -// Register cleanup functions smartExit.addCleanupFunction(async () => { - console.log('Cleaning up resources...'); - await releaseResourcesAsync(); + console.log("Closing Express server..."); + await new Promise((resolve) => server.close(resolve)); }); - -// Optional: custom signal handling or manual shutdown trigger -process.on('someCustomSignal', async () => { - console.log('Custom signal received, initiating cleanup...'); - await smartExit.killAll(); - process.exit(0); -}); - -// Assuming this script is running in a long-lived process (e.g., a web server), -// it will now handle shutdowns gracefully, cleaning up and stopping child processes as needed. ``` --- -This template provides a structured approach to documenting the usage of `@push.rocks/smartexit` in Node.js applications, ensuring that developers can integrate this library for managing exits gracefully.
