abort-utils

Utility functions to use and combine AbortSignal and AbortController with Promises

Install

npm install abort-utils

import {
	onAbort,
	mergeSignals,
	linkControllers,
	promiseFromSignal,
	ReusableAbortController
} from 'abort-utils';

Usage

This package exports various utilities, just import what you need.

• onAbort: Add multiple callbacks, observers and other abort controllers to a single signal.
• mergeSignals: Create a new signal that aborts when any of the input signals aborts.
• linkControllers: Link multiple controllers so that when one aborts, they all abort with the same reason.
• signalFromEvent: Create an AbortSignal that is aborted when an event is dispatched.
• abortAllAndClear: Aborts all controllers in an Array/Set and empties it.
• signalFromPromise: Create an AbortSignal that is aborted when a Promise is resolved or rejected.
• promiseFromSignal: Create a Promise that resolves or rejects when the signal aborts.
• ReusableAbortController: Like AbortController, but it generates a new signal after it's aborted.

Demo

Here's a visual representation that might help understand how some of the methods differ and behave.
