Add exit support to repl #6457
Description
Activity
.exitdoes what you want, I think.Or use Ctrl+d
Reacted by Anna HenningsenAs noted, there are existing solutions to this. Simply supporting
exitwould not work because that would mean reserving that keyword which is not really ideal (and.exithas existed for a long time and it is only one more character).Closing!
Just a nice to have feature request. It would be nice, if one could simply type
exitand enter into the repl, and have itprocess.exit(0)This would match up with most command-line interface repls, from bash to cmd, etc... and is second nature to type in. I'm not sure if this has been debated, as I didn't see an issue regarding this. As it stands, I can type
exit\nfaster than I can press ctrl+c twice.Hopefully this feature is doable, and others can agree on the usefulness.
Alternatively to an immediate
process.exit(0)would beprocess.nextTick(() => process.exit(0))so that pending outputs can finish out.
