Events to listen to on NodeJS to exit gracefully

node-exit.js

// prevent the program to close instantly
process.stdin.resume();

function exitHandler(options, err) {
    if (options.cleanup) console.log('clean');
    if (err) console.log(err.stack);
    if (options.exit) process.exit();
}

// do something when app is closing
process.on('exit', exitHandler.bind(null,{cleanup:true}));

// catches ctrl+c event
process.on('SIGINT', exitHandler.bind(null, {exit:true}));

// catches "kill pid" (for example: nodemon restart)
process.on('SIGUSR1', exitHandler.bind(null, {exit:true}));
process.on('SIGUSR2', exitHandler.bind(null, {exit:true}));

// catches uncaught exceptions
process.on('uncaughtException', exitHandler.bind(null, {exit:true}));
