## Install

[npm][]:

```sh
npm install @ladjs/graceful
```

## Usage

See the [Express](#express), [Koa](#koa), [Fastify](#fastify), or [Other](#other) code snippet examples and [Instance Options](#instance-options) below.

**You can pass [Instance Options](#instance-options) to customize your graceful handler** (e.g. if you have more than one server, or wish to close both a Redis connection and a server at the same time).

```js
const Graceful = require('@ladjs/graceful');

//
// ...
//

//
// see Instance Options in the README below and examples for different projects (e.g. Koa or Express)
//
const graceful = new Graceful({
//
// http or net servers
// (this supports Express/Koa/Fastify/etc)
// (basically anything created with http.createServer or net.createServer)
//
//
//
//
servers: [],

// bree clients
//
brees: [],

// redis clients
//
//
redisClients: [],

// mongoose clients
//
mongooses: [],

// custom handlers to invoke upon shutdown
customHandlers: [],

// logger
logger: console,

// how long to wait in ms for exit to finish
timeoutMs: 5000,

// options to pass to `lil-http-terminator` to override defaults
lilHttpTerminator: {},

//
// appends a `true` boolean value to a property of this name in the logger meta object
// (this is useful for Cabin/Axe as it will prevent a log from being created in MongoDB)
// (and instead of having a DB log created upon graceful exit, it will simply log to console)
// (defer to the Forward Email codebase, specifically the logger helper)
//
// NOTE: if you set this to `false` then this will be ignored and no meta property will be populated
//
ignoreHook: 'ignore_hook',

//
// appends a `true` boolean value to a property of this name in the logger meta object
// (this is useful for Cabin/Axe as it will prevent the meta object from being outputted to the logger)
//
hideMeta: 'hide_meta'
});

//
// NOTE: YOU MUST INVOKE `graceful.listen()` IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK!
//
graceful.listen();
```

Using this package will bind process event listeners when `graceful.listen()` is called:

* `process.on('warning')` - will output via `config.logger.warn`
* `process.on('unhandledRejection')` - bubbles up to `uncaughtException` (will output via `config.logger.error` and `process.exit(1)` (*does not exit gracefully*)
* `process.once('uncaughtException')` - will output via `config.logger.error` and `process.exit(1)` (*does not exit gracefully*)
* `process.on('message')` - support Windows (e.g. signals not available) and listen for message of `shutdown` and then exit gracefully
* `process.once('SIGTERM')` - will exit gracefully
* `process.once('SIGHUP')` - will exit gracefully
* `process.once('SIGINT')` - will exit gracefully

This package also prevents multiple process/SIG events from triggering multiple graceful exits. Only one graceful exit can occur at a time.

For `servers` passed, we use [lil-http-terminator][] under the hood. Default configuration options can be overridden by passing a `lilHttpTerminator` configuration object. See [index.js](index.js) for more insight.

### Express

```js
const express = require('express');
const Graceful = require('@ladjs/graceful');

const app = express();
const server = app.listen();
const graceful = new Graceful({ servers: [server] });
graceful.listen();
```

### Koa

```js
const Koa = require('koa');
const Graceful = require('@ladjs/graceful');

const app = new Koa();
const server = app.listen();
const graceful = new Graceful({ servers: [server] });
graceful.listen();
```

### Fastify

```js
const fastify = require('fastify');
const Graceful = require('@ladjs/graceful');

const app = fastify();
app.listen();

//
// NOTE: @ladjs/graceful is smart and detects `app.server` automatically
//
const graceful = new Graceful({ servers: [app] });
graceful.listen();
```

### Other

This package works with any server created with `http.createServer` or `net.createServer` (Node's internal HTTP and Net packages).

**Please defer to the [test folder files](test/test.js) for example usage.**

## Instance Options

Here is the full list of options and their defaults. See [index.js](index.js) for more insight if necessary.

| Property | Type | Default Value | Description |
| ------------------- | ------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `servers` | Array | `[]` | An array of HTTP or NET servers to gracefully close on exit |
| `brees` | Array | `[]` | An array of [Bree][] instances to gracefully exit |
| `redisClients` | Array | `[]` | An array of Redis client instances to gracefully exit |
| `mongooses` | Array | `[]` | An array of Mongoose connections to gracefully exit |
| `customHandlers` | Array | `[]` | An array of functions (custom handlers) to invoke upon graceful exit |
| `logger` | Object | `console` | This is the default logger. **We recommend using [Cabin][cabin]** instead of using `console` as your default logger. Set this value to `false` to disable logging entirely (uses noop function) |
| `timeoutMs` | Number | `5000` | A number in milliseconds for how long to wait to gracefully exit |
| `lilHttpTerminator` | Object | `{}` | An object of options to pass to `lil-http-terminator` to override default options provided |
| `ignoreHook` | String or `false` Boolean | `"ignore_hook"` | Appends a `true` boolean property to a property with this value in logs, e.g. `console.log('graceful exiting', { ignore_hook: true });` which is useful for preventing logs from being written to a database in hooks (this is meant for usage with [Cabin][] and [Axe][] and made for [Forward Email][forward-email]). If you pass a `false` value then this property will not get populated. |
| `hideMeta` | String or `false` Boolean | `"hide_meta"` | Appends a `true` boolean property to a property with this value in logs, e.g. `console.log('graceful exiting', { hide_meta: true });` which is useful for preventing metadata object from being invoked as the second argument (this is meant for usage with [Cabin][] and [Axe][] and made for [Forward Email][forward-email]). If you pass a `false` value then this property will not get populated. |
