PHP's exit; in Javascript?

What is the equivalent of PHP's exit; in Javascript/jQuery?

I need to stop my script early depending on certain conditions... The only answers I could find from search was stopping forms from submitting...

From looking on your certain problem, and for everyone else. Please see this. This MIGHT help you.

Just put this one line

if(exit_condition!=true)

and also this requires your codes to be inside of

$(document).ready()

if(exit_condition!=true)
    $(document).ready(function() {
      // Your code
      // Your code
      // Your code
      // Your code
    });

I have also encountered this issue, @Jamesking56 has encountered. And this is my solution.

You could try:

throw "stop execution";

Using return you will skip the current function, that's why throwing is more similar to PHP exit();

I would finish a function early with a return statement: 

return;

A javascript function is terminated by calling return. Usually you will be in the context of a function or something. Also event handlers (like for onclick on an element) will behave like a function and accept return.
