How to exit the Deno process

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about two different ways to exit the deno process.

Manually exiting the process

If you want to exit the process manually in a command line, you can use the ctrl+c keyboard shortcut.

Programmatically exiting the process

If you want to exit the process from a deno program, you can use the Deno.exit() method.

Deno.exit(); // exits with success code 0

It also accepts exit code as an optional argument. If no code is provided then deno will exit with a success code 0. Failure is indicated with the non-zero exit codes.

Deno.exit(1); // exits with failure code 1
