Influenced by Go's context.

Documentation

### context.Context([options])

Initialize a new context.

Options

• deadline (Date, optional): time when request expires
• timeout (Integer, optional): duration in milliseconds until request expires
• parent (Context, optional): parent context, inherits deadlines and cancelation signals

### Event: 'done'

Emitted when the request exceeds it's deadline or is canceled.

This is only emitted once.

### context.cancel()

Cancel request immediately.

This is safe to call multiple times.

### context.create([options])

Create and return a child context.

This accepts the same options as the context constructor and automatically sets the parent option.
