unicorn/no-process-exit Restriction

🚧 An auto-fix is planned for this rule, but not implemented at this time.

Disallow all usage of process.exit().

process.exit() should generally only be used in command-line utilities. In all other types of applications, the code should throw an error instead.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript

if (problem) {
  process.exit(1);
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

javascript

if (problem) {
  throw new Error("message");
}

#!/usr/bin/env node
if (problem) {
  process.exit(1);
}
