how to cancel abort ajax request in axios

Question

I use axios for ajax requests and reactJS   flux for render UI  In my app there is third side timeline  reactJS component   Timeline can be managed by mouse s scroll  App sends ajax request for the actual data after any scroll event  Problem that processing of request at server can be more slow than next scroll event  In this case app can have several  2-3 usually  requests that already is deprecated because user scrolls further  it is a problem because every time at receiving of new data timeline begins redraw   Because it s reactJS   flux  Because of this  the user sees the movement of the timeline back and forth several times  The easiest way to solve this problem  it just abort previous ajax request as in jQuery  For example         document  ready      var xhr       var fn   function            if xhr  amp  amp  xhr readyState    4               xhr abort                      xhr     ajax               url   ajax progress ftl               success  function data                      do something                                       var interval   setInterval fn  500        How to cancel abort requests in axios

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    gt            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

Axios does not support canceling requests at the moment  Please see this issue for details  UPDATE  Cancellation support was added in axios v0 15  EDIT  The axios cancel token API is based on the withdrawn cancelable promises proposal  Example  const cancelTokenSource   axios CancelToken source     axios get   user 12345       cancelToken  cancelTokenSource token         Cancel request cancelTokenSource cancel
