What is http-terminator?

The http-terminator npm package provides a reliable way to gracefully terminate HTTP and HTTPS servers. It ensures that all active connections are properly closed before the server shuts down, preventing potential data loss or corruption.

What are http-terminator's main functionalities?

Graceful Server Termination

This feature allows you to gracefully terminate an HTTP server, ensuring that all active connections are properly closed before the server shuts down.

const { createHttpTerminator } = require('http-terminator');
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.end('Hello, world!');
});

server.listen(3000);

const httpTerminator = createHttpTerminator({ server });

// To terminate the server gracefully
httpTerminator.terminate().then(() => {
  console.log('Server terminated');
});

Handling Long-Lived Connections

This feature demonstrates how http-terminator handles long-lived connections, ensuring they are properly closed before the server shuts down.

const { createHttpTerminator } = require('http-terminator');
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    res.end('Delayed response');
  }, 10000); // Simulate a long-lived connection
});

server.listen(3000);

const httpTerminator = createHttpTerminator({ server });

// To terminate the server gracefully
httpTerminator.terminate().then(() => {
  console.log('Server terminated');
});

Custom Termination Timeout

This feature allows you to set a custom timeout for graceful termination, giving you control over how long the server should wait before forcefully closing connections.

const { createHttpTerminator } = require('http-terminator');
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.end('Hello, world!');
});

server.listen(3000);

const httpTerminator = createHttpTerminator({
  server,
  gracefulTerminationTimeout: 5000 // Custom timeout in milliseconds
});

// To terminate the server gracefully
httpTerminator.terminate().then(() => {
  console.log('Server terminated');
});
