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
```sh
$ npm install --global kill-port
# OR
$ yarn global add kill-port
```
Then:
```sh
$ kill-port --port 8080
# OR
$ kill-port 9000
# OR you can use UDP
$ kill-port 9000 --method udp
```
You can also kill multiple ports:
```sh
$ kill-port --port 8080,5000,3000
# OR
$ kill-port 9000 3000 5000
```
