I have created a server basic with NodeJs as below:
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('welcome!')
})
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server ready'))
Now I want to stop and exit this server when I want to.
How can I do it?

You can use to command below to stop your program:
process.exit()
Note:
processdoes not require a "require", it's automatically available. -

Call the global process object's exit method:
process.exit()
process.exit([exitcode])Ends the process with the specified code. If omitted, exit uses the 'success' code 0.
To exit with a 'failure' code:
process.exit(1);
The shell that executed the node should see the exit code as 1.
