addAbortListener
Listens once to the abort
event on the provided signal
.
Listening to the abort
event on abort signals is unsafe and may lead to resource leaks since another third party with the signal can call e.stopImmediatePropagation()
. Unfortunately Node.js cannot change this since it would violate the web standard.
Additionally, the original API makes it easy to forget to remove listeners.
This API allows safely using AbortSignals
in Node.js APIs by solving these two issues by listening to the event such that stopImmediatePropagation
does not prevent the listener from running.
Returns a disposable so that it may be unsubscribed from more easily.
