How to stop server to accept new connections in Express

In this tutorial, you will learn how you can stop your node server from accepting new connections in Node and Express

The server.close() method stops the server from accepting any new HTTP connections. However, all the existing connections are kept.

Example

  const express = require('express');
  const app = express();
  const port = 3000;

  const server = app.listen(port);

  server.close(()=>{
    console.log("Server closed for new connections")
  });
