native-abort-controller
Returns native AbortController/AbortSignal if available or the abort-controller module if not
An (almost) drop-in replacement for the abort-controller
module that returns the native AbortController if available or the polyfill if not.
Why?
Some environments such as the Electron Renderer process straddle the node/browser divide with features from both APIs available. In these cases the webpack approach of always using the browser
field in your package.json
to override requires is too heavy-handed as sometimes you want to use the node version of an API.
Instead we can check for the availability of a given API and return it, rather than the node-polyfill for that API.
This module may become unecessary if mysticatea/abort-controller#24 is resolved.
Install
You must install a version of abort-controller
alongside this module to be used if a native implementation is not available.
$ npm install --save native-abort-controller abort-controller
Usage
import { AbortController } from 'native-abort-controller'
const controller = new AbortController()
const signal = controller.signal
signal.addEventListener('abort', () => {
console.log('aborted!')
})
controller.abort()
