Node Scripting Patterns
Exit Code Plan
Scripts can compute an exit decision before actually calling process.exit.
Exit Code Plan
exit_plan.ts
type CheckSummary = {
failed: number;
exitCode: number;
};
function planExit(failed: number): CheckSummary {
return {
failed,
exitCode: failed === 0 ? 0 : 1
};
}
const failedChecks: number = ;
const summary: CheckSummary = planExit(failedChecks);
console.log(`failed=${summary.failed};exit=${summary.exitCode}`);
type CheckSummary = {
failed: number;
exitCode: number;
};
function planExit(failed: number): CheckSummary {
return {
failed,
exitCode: failed === 0 ? 0 : 1
};
}
const failedChecks: number = ;
const summary: CheckSummary = planExit(failedChecks);
console.log(`failed=${summary.failed};exit=${summary.exitCode}`);
exit decision
Calculating an exit code as data keeps the core logic testable and easy to trace.
