I originally wrote this issue for v0.0.1. With v0.1.0, we now can access individual topics easier. It may make more sense to shut these down individually or the node as a whole. Here's an API proposal:
ros.types([
'std_msgs/String'
], function(String) {
var node = ros.node('talker');
node.topics([
{ topic: 'example', messageType: String }
], function(example) {
example.subscribe(function(message) { });
// Calls unregister subscriber on master
example.shutdown();
});
});
Right now, a node can only be shutdown using rosnodejs by killing the process. There should probably be a clean way to shutdown a node as well as query the state of being shutdown (see rospy's is_shutdown()) and handling a shutdown (handling a 'shutdown' event?).
