June 6, 2025 - AbortController in Node.js: Canceling Async the Smart Way Ever started a fetch() request and wished you could cancel it? That's exactly what AbortController lets you do — and the good news is …

July 24, 2024 - This code demonstrates how to use AbortSignal.any() to combine multiple abort signals, allowing a network request to be cancelled either due to a timeout or user action. It sets a timeout of 5000 milliseconds and creates an AbortController for user-initiated aborts, combining these signals with AbortSignal.any().

January 26, 2023 - AbortController for Node based on EventEmitter. Latest version: 3.1.1, last published: 3 years ago. Start using node-abort-controller in your project by running `npm i node-abort-controller`. There are 399 other projects in the npm registry using node-abort-controller.

February 12, 2025 - This code snippet sets up a Fastify server with a single /upload endpoint that uses the @fastify/multipart plugin to handle file uploads. The request handler uses a write stream to save the uploaded file to disk and passes the signal from the AbortController so that the writing operation can be canceled if needed.

May 23, 2025 - Learn how AbortController can cancel fetch requests, event listeners, streams, child processes in JavaScript. Stop memory leaks and improve UX with examples

A utility class used to signal cancelation in selected Promise-based APIs. The API is based on the Web API <AbortController>.

September 17, 2025 - The AbortController interface represents a controller object that allows you to abort one or more Web requests as and when desired.

March 12, 2025 - An instance of the AbortController class exposes the abort method and the signal property. Invoking the abort method emits the abort event to notify the abortable API watching the controller about the cancellation.

August 21, 2024 - In 2017 they added a signal parameter to fetch. That could be used with an AbortController's AbortSignal.

You don't need this library! AbortController is now built into nodeJS .

September 14, 2024 - The AbortController API provides a standardized way to abort asynchronous operations.

March 30, 2019 - An implementation of WHATWG AbortController interface.. Latest version: 3.0.0, last published: 7 years ago. Start using abort-controller in your project by running `npm i abort-controller`. There are 1894 other projects in the npm registry using abort-controller.

A utility class used to signal cancelation in selected Promise-based APIs. The API is based on the Web API AbortController.

To use, launch Node.js using the --experimental-abortcontroller flag.

Now, it’s preferred to use AbortController that provides an abort() method that triggers the aborted state of the AbortSignal object obtained from signal property. API’s that support cancellation can take the AbortSignal object, listen to an abort event and stop the operation.

import AbortController from "abort-controller" const controller = new AbortController() const signal = controller.signal signal.addEventListener("abort", () => { console.log("aborted!") }) controller.abort()

July 22, 2021 - To correctly handle this pattern, we need a reliable mechanism for signalling across the two promises, canceling either the timer or the long-running task as appropriate and ensuring that once the timeout is triggered all resources are cleaned up as quickly as possible. Fortunately, Web Platform APIs provide a standard mechanism for this kind of signalling — the AbortController and AbortSignal APIs.

March 4, 2024 - Nothing new here in terms of the setTimeout function. We store a reference to it in a variable called timeout and schedule the function to be called after 2000 milliseconds(2 seconds) have passed. When the function is called, we call the abort function on the AbortController to abort the fetch request.

December 10, 2024 - Polyfill/ponyfill for the AbortController DOM API + optional patching of fetch (stub that calls catch, doesn't actually abort request).. Latest version: 1.7.8, last published: a year ago. Start using abortcontroller-polyfill in your project by running `npm i abortcontroller-polyfill`. There ...

let abortController = new AbortController(); start.addEventListener('click', async () => { const readable = await consumeAPI(abortController.signal); readable.pipeTo(appendToHTML(cards)); }); stop.addEventListener('click', () => { abortController.abort(); console.log('aborting...'); abortController = new AbortController(); })
