Install

$ npm install --save @devjskit/kill-port
# OR
$ yarn add @devjskit/kill-port

Usage

const kill = require("@devjskit/kill-port");
const http = require("http");
const port = 8080;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, {
    "Content-Type": "text/plain",
  });

  res.end("Hi!");
});

server.listen(port, () => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    // Currently you can kill ports running on TCP or UDP protocols
    kill(port, "tcp").then(console.log).catch(console.log);
  }, 1000);
});

API

The module exports a single function that takes a port number as argument. It returns a promise.

CLI

$ npm install --global @devjskit/kill-port
# OR
$ yarn global add @devjskit/kill-port

Then:

$ kill-port --port 8080
# OR
$ kill-port 9000
# OR you can use UDP
$ kill-port 9000 --method udp

You can also kill multiple ports:

$ kill-port --port 8080,5000,3000
# OR
$ kill-port 9000 3000 5000
