killable
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Keeps track of a server's open sockets so they can be destroyed at a
|
|
moment's notice. This way, the server connection can be killed very
|
|
fast.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install killable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example usage
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Using express:
|
|
('server' in the example is just an ``http.server``, so other frameworks
|
|
or pure Node should work just as well.)
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var killable = require('killable');
|
|
|
|
var app = require('express')();
|
|
var server;
|
|
|
|
app.route('/', function (req, res, next) {
|
|
res.send('Server is going down NOW!');
|
|
|
|
server.kill(function () {
|
|
//the server is down when this is called. That won't take long.
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
var server = app.listen(8080);
|
|
killable(server);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
API
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The ``killable`` module is callable. When you call it on a Node
|
|
``http.Server`` object, it will add a ``server.kill()`` method on it. It
|
|
returns the server object.
|
|
|
|
``server.kill([callback])`` closes all open sockets and calls
|
|
``server.close()``, to which the ``callback`` is passed on.
