I like to put the main functionality of a script inside a main function. If I want to end the script early, I use a return statement inside the script.
await main()
async function main() {
// pseudo code for guard clause
if (no data) {
return;
}
// main script functionality
}
Almost all of my scripts have some sort of async call, so my main function almost always needs await/async. If your script doesn’t use any async calls, you can remove them.
This thread also has a discussion about using a “top-level” return, but it is not recommended.
