abort (dom abort api)

The abort event of the Fetch API is fired when a fetch request is aborted, i.e. using FetchController.abort().

Examples

In the following snippet, we create a new AbortController object, and get its AbortSignal (available in the signal property). Later on we check whether or not it the signal has been aborted using the onabort property, and send an appropriate log to the console.

var controller = new AbortController();
var signal = controller.signal;

signal.onabort = function() {
  console.log('Request aborted');
};

Inheritance

The abort event implements the Event interface — it has available the properties and methods defined on this interface.
