@nodelibraries/enhanced-abort-controllerEnhanced AbortController

Quick Start ​

npm install @nodelibraries/enhanced-abort-controller

import { EnhancedAbortController } from '@nodelibraries/enhanced-abort-controller';

const controller = new EnhancedAbortController();
controller.abortAfter(5000); // Abort after 5 seconds

// Use with fetch
fetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
  signal: controller.signal.signal,
}).catch((err) => {
  if (err.name === 'AbortError') {
    console.log('Request was cancelled');
  }
});

Why @nodelibraries/enhanced-abort-controller? ​

@nodelibraries/enhanced-abort-controller is an enhanced version of the native AbortController with additional features for modern Node.js and TypeScript applications. It provides timeout-based cancellation, linked controllers, and proper resource cleanup patterns.

Learn more about our features and design principles in the Introduction guide.

🎯 Clean & Simple ​

No decorators, no annotations, no framework lock-in. Your code remains pure and framework-agnostic.

// Clean, simple usage
const controller = new EnhancedAbortController();
controller.abortAfter(5000); // Auto-abort after 5 seconds

🔒 Type-Safe by Design ​

Built from the ground up for TypeScript. Full type inference, autocomplete, and compile-time safety.

// Full type safety with autocomplete
const controller = new EnhancedAbortController();
controller.signal.throwIfAborted(); // ✅ TypeScript knows this method exists

🚀 Production Ready ​

Battle-tested features including timeout management, linked controllers, and comprehensive error handling.

// Linked controllers for complex scenarios
const userController = new EnhancedAbortController();
const timeoutController = EnhancedAbortController.timeout(10000);

// Abort if user cancels OR timeout occurs
const linked = EnhancedAbortController.linkSignals(
  userController.signal,
  timeoutController.signal
);

🔄 Enhanced Features ​

Additional features beyond the native AbortController:

• Timeout Support - Automatic timeout-based cancellation
• Linked Controllers - Combine multiple abort signals
• TimeSpan - Precise time interval management
• Resource Cleanup - Automatic cleanup callbacks
• Promise Support - whenAborted promise for async workflows

🎨 Flexible Usage ​

Use with:

• Native fetch API - Direct integration with fetch
• Axios - Works seamlessly with Axios
• Custom async operations - Any async operation that supports AbortSignal
• Resource management - Automatic cleanup patterns
