# on-exit-leak-free
|
|
|
|
This module helps dispose of an object gracefully when the Node.js process exits.
|
|
It executes a function with a given parameter
|
|
on [`'exit'`](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#event-exit) without leaking memory,
|
|
cleaning things up appropriately if the object is garbage collected.
|
|
|
|
Requires `WeakRef` and `FinalizationRegistry`, i.e. use Node v14+.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm i on-exit-leak-free
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
'use strict'
|
|
|
|
const { register, unregister } = require('on-exit-leak-free')
|
|
const assert = require('assert')
|
|
|
|
function setup () {
|
|
// This object can be safely garbage collected,
|
|
// and the resulting shutdown function will not be called.
|
|
// There are no leaks.
|
|
const obj = { foo: 'bar' }
|
|
register(obj, shutdown)
|
|
// use registerBeforeExit(obj, shutdown) to execute the function only
|
|
// on beforeExit
|
|
// call unregister(obj) to remove
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
let shutdownCalled = false
|
|
|
|
// Please make sure that the function passed to register()
|
|
// does not create a closure around unnecessary objects.
|
|
function shutdown (obj, eventName) {
|
|
console.log(eventName) // beforeExit
|
|
shutdownCalled = true
|
|
assert.strictEqual(obj.foo, 'bar')
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
setup()
|
|
|
|
process.on('exit', function () {
|
|
assert.strictEqual(shutdownCalled, true)
|
|
})
|
|
```
