Typically you want to cancel the previous ajax request and ignore it's coming response, only when a new ajax request of that instance is started, for this purpose, do the following:
Example: getting some comments from API:
// declare an ajax request's cancelToken (globally)
let ajaxRequest = null;
function getComments() {
// cancel previous ajax if exists
if (ajaxRequest ) {
ajaxRequest.cancel();
}
// creates a new token for upcomming ajax (overwrite the previous one)
ajaxRequest = axios.CancelToken.source();
return axios.get('/api/get-comments', { cancelToken: ajaxRequest.token }).then((response) => {
console.log(response.data)
}).catch(function(err) {
if (axios.isCancel(err)) {
console.log('Previous request canceled, new request is send', err.message);
} else {
// handle error
}
});
}
