A simple libary for making Angular $http requests cancellable
Note: This library only applies for Angular v1. Testing only done on angular > 1.6.0.
- Removed Angular $q service to reduce potential conflicts with other libs/use cases
npm install --save angular-http-cancellable
Link to the file in the node_modules folder.node_modules/angular-http-cancellable/dist/angular-http-cancellable.min.js
Import the module into your angular application
varmyApp=angular.module('myApp',['http.cancellable']);Import and use$httpCancellable just like you would use$http.
myApp.factory('SomeFactory',function($httpCancellable){varfactory={};factory.someRequest=function(){varrequest=$httpCancellable({method:'GET',url:'http://example.org/hello'}).then(function(response){//handleResponse}).catch(function(error){//Cancel will trigger error here//Handle error}).finally(function(){//do something else});if(requestTakesTooLong()){request.cancel();}returnrequest;};returnfactory;});Testing made using karma + mocha + chai. To test, just runnpm test.** Will probably need to compile the dist file first by usinggulp **
