esc-exit

Exit the process when the <kbd>esc</kbd> key is pressed

Useful for CLI tools to let the user press <kbd>esc</kbd> or <kbd>control+c</kbd> to get out.

Usage

import escExit from 'esc-exit';

escExit();

API

Using this prevents the process from exiting normally.

There are multiple ways you can handle this:

• Call the unsubscribe method that escExit() returns when you're done listening. It will then let the process exit normally.

• Call process.exit() to exit the process directly.
