Abortable promises ⚡
A module for node that lets you run complex sequence of async steps and:
- Use an external signal to stop the sequence of steps
const sleep = promisify((timeout: number, callback: (...args: any[]) => void) =>
setTimeout(callback, timeout)
);
const a = new AbortablePromise(async function* () {
yield await sleep(1000);
console.log("awaited 100");
yield await sleep(2000);
console.log("awaited 200");
yield await sleep(3000);
console.log("awaited 300");
});
setTimeout(() => a.abort(), 1500); // doesn't get to sleep(3000)
- Use an external signal to kill an already started asynchronous step
const b = new AbortablePromise(async function* (await_or_abort) {
const ping = await deferedSpawn("ping", ["8.8.8.8"]);
while (true) {
console.log(
await await_or_abort(ping.waitForNextData(), () => {
ping.kill();
})
);
yield;
}
});
setTimeout(() => b.abort(), 5000); // doesn't get to 5th ping
