@jeanniton-mnr/super-graceful-shutdown v1.0.2
Description
The super-graceful-shutdown npm package provides a super graceful way to shutdown an Express server application.
super-graceful-shutdown always make sure a response is sent to the client for any connections that were open before you send a super graceful "shutdown" message.
When you send the default shutdown message on default port 3000 to your node the Express app, super-graceful-shutdown will gracefully wait for all requests to close, ensuring a response is sent to the client; block any new connections; shutdown the server; then terminate node process.
Usage
To use the super-graceful-shutdown package, follow these steps:
- Import the package and initialize it using its constructor with an instance of your Express app and server:
const express = require('express');
const SGS = require('super-graceful-shutdown');
const app = express();
const router = express.Router();
const port = 80; // Set your desired port number
// ...
router.get('/api1', async function(req, res, next){
try {
setTimeout(() => { res.status(200).send(`<html> <body> <h1>${date()}</h1> </body> </html>`) }, 3000);
} catch (error) {
next(error);
}
});
const server = app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example Express app listening on port ${port}!`) );
// âšī¸ Before you initialize other routes, you need to initialize super-graceful-shutdown
new SGS(app, server);
// đ¨âđģ Then, you can initialize other routes
app.use('/', router);- Once your Express app is running, to super gracefully shutdown your Node.Js Express application through your host CLI, run this command:
echo "shutdown" | nc localhost 3000Notes
Do not expose port 3000 to prevent outsiders from shutting down your application. You can find an article on how to allow or block a port to the outside network in this link provided by DigitalOcean.

I have this npm package boilerplate to create this package.
