Examples

Listening to abort events

import { AbortController } from '@alessiofrittoli/abort-controller'

const controller  = new AbortController()
const { signal }  = controller

signal.addEventListener( 'abort', event => {
  console.log( 'Aborted at', event.timeStamp )
  console.log( signal.reason ) // `AbortSignal.reason` is now type of `AbortError`
} )

button.addEventListener( 'click', () => {
  controller.abort( 'User aborted the request.' )
} )

---

Using custom AbortError codes

import { AbortController } from '@alessiofrittoli/abort-controller'

enum CustomAbortErrorCode
{
  REASON_1 = 'ERR:ABORTREASON1',
  REASON_2 = 'ERR:ABORTREASON2',
}

const controller  = new AbortController()
const { signal }  = controller

signal.addEventListener( 'abort', () => {
  switch ( signal.reason.code ) {
    case CustomAbortErrorCode.REASON_1:
      console.log( 'User aborted the request due to button 1 click.' )
      break
    
    case CustomAbortErrorCode.REASON_2:
      console.log( 'User aborted the request due to button 2 click.' )
      break
  
    default:
      console.log( 'User aborted the request due to unknown reason.' )
      break
  }
} )
  
button.addEventListener( 'click', () => {
  controller.abort( 'User clicked button 1.', { code: CustomAbortErrorCode.REASON_1 } )
} )

button2.addEventListener( 'click', () => {
  controller.abort( 'User clicked button 2.', { code: CustomAbortErrorCode.REASON_2 } )
} )
