Node.js - process.disconnect() Method
When a Node.js process is spawned with an IPC channel, the process.disconnect() method will close that IPC channel to the parent process, allowing the child process to exit or finish gracefully. The process will exit once there are no other connections keeping it alive.
Syntax
process.disconnect()
Example 1
Create two files with the names "parent.js" and "child.js" and copy the following code snippets. After creating the file, use the command "node parent.js" to run parent.js.
parent.js
// process.channel Property Demo Example
// Importing the child_process modules
const fork = require('child_process').fork;
// Attaching the child process file
const child_file = 'child.js';
// Spawning/calling child process
const child = fork(child_file);child.js
console.log('In Child Process')
// Checking if channel is available
if (process.connected) {
// Check if its connected or not
if (process.connected == true) {
console.log("Child is connected.");
}
// Use process.disconnect() to disconnect with child
process.disconnect();
// Check if its connected or not
if (process.connected == false) {
console.log("Child is now disconnected.");
}
}Output
C:\home
ode>> node parent.js In Child Process Child is connected. Child is now disconnected.
Example 2
Let's take a look at one more example.
parent.js
// process.channel Property Demo Example
// Importing the child_process modules
const fork = require('child_process').fork;
// Attaching the child process file
const child_file = 'child.js';
// Spawning/calling child process
const child = fork(child_file);child.js
console.log('In Child Process')
// Checking if channel is available
if (process.connected) {
// Send multiple messages
setTimeout((function () {
if (process.connected == true) {
console.log("Process Running for: 1 second.");
}
}), 1000);
// Disconnect from channel after 2 seconds
setTimeout((function () {
if (process.connected == true) {
console.log("Process Running for: 2 seconds.");
}
}), 2000);
// Disconnect from channel after 2.5 seconds
setTimeout((function () {
process.disconnect();
}), 2500);
// Disconnect from channel after 3 seconds
setTimeout((function () {
if (process.connected == true) {
console.log("Process Running for: 3 seconds.");
}
}), 3000);
}Output
C:\home
ode>> node parent.js In Child Process Process Running for: 1 second. Process Running for: 2 seconds.
