> Run some code when the process exits
|
|
|
|
The `process.on('exit')` event doesn't catch all the ways a process can exit. This module catches:
|
|
|
|
* process SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP, SIGBREAK signals
|
|
* process beforeExit and exit events
|
|
* PM2 clustering process shutdown message ([PM2 graceful reload](http://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/cluster-mode/#graceful-reload))
|
|
|
|
Useful for cleaning up. You can also include async handlers, and add custom events to hook and exit on.
|
|
|
|
Forked and pretty much rewritten from [exit-hook](https://npmjs.com/package/exit-hook).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install --save async-exit-hook
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Considerations and warning
|
|
#### On `process.exit()` and asynchronous code
|
|
**If you use asynchronous exit hooks, DO NOT use `process.exit()` to exit.
|
|
The `exit` event DOES NOT support asynchronous code.**
|
|
>['beforeExit' is not emitted for conditions causing explicit termination, such as process.exit()]
|
|
(https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_event_beforeexit)
|
|
|
|
#### Windows and `process.kill(signal)`
|
|
On windows `process.kill(signal)` immediately kills the process, and does not fire signal events,
|
|
and as such, cannot be used to gracefully exit. See *Clustering and child processes* for a
|
|
workaround when killing child processes. I'm planning to support gracefully exiting
|
|
with async support on windows soon.
|
|
|
|
### Clustering and child processes
|
|
If you use custom clustering / child processes, you can gracefully shutdown your child process
|
|
by sending a shutdown message (`childProc.send('shutdown')`).
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
```js
|
|
const exitHook = require('async-exit-hook');
|
|
|
|
exitHook(() => {
|
|
console.log('exiting');
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// you can add multiple hooks, even across files
|
|
exitHook(() => {
|
|
console.log('exiting 2');
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// you can add async hooks by accepting a callback
|
|
exitHook(callback => {
|
|
setTimeout(() => {
|
|
console.log('exiting 3');
|
|
callback();
|
|
}, 1000);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// You can hook uncaught errors with uncaughtExceptionHandler(), consequently adding
|
|
// async support to uncaught errors (normally uncaught errors result in a synchronous exit).
|
|
exitHook.uncaughtExceptionHandler(err => {
|
|
console.error(err);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// You can add multiple uncaught error handlers
|
|
// Add the second parameter (callback) to indicate async hooks
|
|
exitHook.uncaughtExceptionHandler((err, callback) => {
|
|
sendErrorToCloudOrWhatever(err) // Returns promise
|
|
.then(() => {
|
|
console.log('Sent err to cloud');
|
|
});
|
|
.catch(sendError => {
|
|
console.error('Error sending to cloud: ', err.stack));
|
|
})
|
|
.then(() => callback);
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Add exit hooks for a signal or custom message:
|
|
|
|
// Custom signal
|
|
// Arguments are `signal, exitCode` (SIGBREAK is already handled, this is an example)
|
|
exitHook.hookEvent('SIGBREAK', 21);
|
|
|
|
// process event: `message` with a filter
|
|
// filter gets all arguments passed to *handler*: `process.on(message, *handler*)`
|
|
// Exits on process event `message` with msg `customShutdownMessage` only
|
|
exitHook.hookEvent('message', 0, msg => msg !== 'customShutdownMessage');
|
|
|
|
// All async hooks will work with uncaught errors when you have specified an uncaughtExceptionHandler
|
|
throw new Error('awesome');
|
|
|
|
//=> // Sync uncaughtExcpetion hooks called and retun
|
|
//=> '[Error: awesome]'
|
|
//=> // Sync hooks called and retun
|
|
//=> 'exiting'
|
|
//=> 'exiting 2'
|
|
//=> // Async uncaughtException hooks return
|
|
//=> 'Sent error to cloud'
|
|
//=> // Sync uncaughtException hooks return
|
|
//=> 'exiting 3'
|
|
```
