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
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['http.cancellable']);Import and use $httpCancellable just like you would use $http.
myApp.factory('SomeFactory', function($httpCancellable){
var factory = {};
factory.someRequest = function() {
var request = $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();
}
return request;
};
return factory;
});
Testing made using karma + mocha + chai. To test, just run npm test.
** Will probably need to compile the dist file first by using gulp **
