[FEATURE REQUEST] Add method *Server.Shutdown

[zyxkad]

Then we can shutdown it gracefully

sigs := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(sigs, syscall.SIGHUP, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM, syscall.SIGQUIT)

select {
case <-sigs:
	timeoutCtx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 16 * time.Second)
	defer cancel()
	// do some thing
	server.Shutdown(timeoutCtx)
}

Yes, I need this shutdown function too.

This actually would be very handy.
Love the approach and would like to see it beeing implemented.

You do not need a shutdown function to close the server. You can use the following code to achieve graceful shutdown.

// Create your own listener
l, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":7777")
if err != nil {
  // handle err
}

// Start a goroutine to listen to a context and close your listener when context is done
go func() {
  select {
  case <-ctx.Done():
    l.Close()
  }
}()

if err := server.Serve(l); err != nil {
  // handle err
}

1. The shutdown method's context is created & passed when calling it, not before serve it
2. Shutdown method should detect if there are active connection, if not, it should close immediately, else it will wait until the context is done
