I found it too easy for multiple requests.
step1: define a variable at top of page:
xhrPool = []; // no need to use **var**
step2: set beforeSend in all ajax requests:
$.ajax({
...
beforeSend: function (jqXHR, settings) {
xhrPool.push(jqXHR);
},
...
step3: use it whereever you required:
$.each(xhrPool, function(idx, jqXHR) {
jqXHR.abort();
});
Here's what I'm currently using to accomplish that.
$.xhrPool = [];
$.xhrPool.abortAll = function() {
_.each(this, function(jqXHR) {
jqXHR.abort();
});
};
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(jqXHR) {
$.xhrPool.push(jqXHR);
}
});
Note: _.each of underscore.js is present, but obviously not necessary. I'm just lazy and I don't want to change it to $.each(). 8P
Give each xhr request a unique id and store the object reference in an object before sending. Delete the reference after an xhr request completes.
To cancel all request any time:
$.ajaxQ.abortAll();
Returns the unique ids of canceled request. Only for testing purposes.
Working function:
$.ajaxQ = (function(){
var id = 0, Q = {};
$(document).ajaxSend(function(e, jqx){
jqx._id = ++id;
Q[jqx._id] = jqx;
});
$(document).ajaxComplete(function(e, jqx){
delete Q[jqx._id];
});
return {
abortAll: function(){
var r = [];
$.each(Q, function(i, jqx){
r.push(jqx._id);
jqx.abort();
});
return r;
}
};
})();
Returns an object with single function which can be used to add more functionality when required.
Here's how to hook this up on any click (useful if your page is placing many AJAX calls and you're trying to navigate away).
$ ->
$.xhrPool = [];
$(document).ajaxSend (e, jqXHR, options) ->
$.xhrPool.push(jqXHR)
$(document).ajaxComplete (e, jqXHR, options) ->
$.xhrPool = $.grep($.xhrPool, (x) -> return x != jqXHR);
$(document).delegate 'a', 'click', ->
while (request = $.xhrPool.pop())
request.abort()
I extended mkmurray and SpYk3HH answer above so that xhrPool.abortAll can abort all pending requests of a given url :
$.xhrPool = [];
$.xhrPool.abortAll = function(url) {
$(this).each(function(i, jqXHR) { // cycle through list of recorded connection
console.log('xhrPool.abortAll ' + jqXHR.requestURL);
if (!url || url === jqXHR.requestURL) {
jqXHR.abort(); // aborts connection
$.xhrPool.splice(i, 1); // removes from list by index
}
});
};
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(jqXHR) {
$.xhrPool.push(jqXHR); // add connection to list
},
complete: function(jqXHR) {
var i = $.xhrPool.indexOf(jqXHR); // get index for current connection completed
if (i > -1) $.xhrPool.splice(i, 1); // removes from list by index
}
});
$.ajaxPrefilter(function(options, originalOptions, jqXHR) {
console.log('ajaxPrefilter ' + options.url);
jqXHR.requestURL = options.url;
});
Usage is same except that abortAll can now optionally accept a url as a parameter and will cancel only pending calls to that url
Just as important: say you want to log off and you are generating new requests with timers: because session data is renewed with each new bootstrap (maybe you can tell I am talking Drupal, but this could be any site that uses sessions)... I had to go through all my scripts with a search and replace, cause I had a ton of stuff running in different cases: global variables at the top:
var ajReq = [];
var canAj = true;
function abort_all(){
for(x in ajReq){
ajReq[x].abort();
ajReq.splice(x, 1)
}
canAj = false;
}
function rmvReq(ranNum){
var temp = [];
var i = 0;
for(x in ajReq){
if(x == ranNum){
ajReq[x].abort();
ajReq.splice(x, 1);
}
i++;
}
}
function randReqIndx(){
if(!canAj){ return 0; }
return Math.random()*1000;
}
function getReqIndx(){
var ranNum;
if(ajReq.length){
while(!ranNum){
ranNum = randReqIndx();
for(x in ajReq){
if(x===ranNum){
ranNum = null;
}
}
}
return ranMum;
}
return randReqIndx();
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").each(function(){
if($(this).attr('href').indexOf('/logout')!=-1){
$(this).click(function(){
abort_all();
});
}
})
});
// Then in all of my scripts I wrapped my ajax calls... If anyone has a suggestion for a
// global way to do this, please post
var reqIndx = getReqIndx();
if(reqIndx!=0){
ajReq[reqIndx] = $.post(ajax, { 'action': 'update_quantities', iids:iidstr, qtys:qtystr },
function(data){
//..do stuff
rmvReq(reqIndx);
},'json');
}
var Request = {
List: [],
AbortAll: function () {
var _self = this;
$.each(_self.List, (i, v) => {
v.abort();
});
}
}
var settings = {
"url": "http://localhost",
success: function (resp) {
console.log(resp)
}
}
Request.List.push($.ajax(settings));
whenever you want to abort all the ajax request, you just need call this line
Request.AbortAll()
Make a pool of all ajax request and abort them.....
var xhrQueue = [];
$(document).ajaxSend(function(event,jqxhr,settings){
xhrQueue.push(jqxhr); //alert(settings.url);
});
$(document).ajaxComplete(function(event,jqxhr,settings){
var i;
if((i=$.inArray(jqxhr,xhrQueue)) > -1){
xhrQueue.splice(i,1); //alert("C:"+settings.url);
}
});
ajaxAbort = function (){ //alert("abortStart");
var i=0;
while(xhrQueue.length){
xhrQueue[i++] .abort(); //alert(i+":"+xhrQueue[i++]);
}
};
Throwing my hat in. Offers abort and remove methods against the xhrPool array, and is not prone to issues with ajaxSetup overrides.

I have updated the code to make it works for me
$.xhrPool = [];
$.xhrPool.abortAll = function() {
$(this).each(function(idx, jqXHR) {
jqXHR.abort();
});
$(this).each(function(idx, jqXHR) {
var index = $.inArray(jqXHR, $.xhrPool);
if (index > -1) {
$.xhrPool.splice(index, 1);
}
});
};
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(jqXHR) {
$.xhrPool.push(jqXHR);
},
complete: function(jqXHR) {
var index = $.inArray(jqXHR, $.xhrPool);
if (index > -1) {
$.xhrPool.splice(index, 1);
}
}
});
There is a dummy solution I use it to abort all ajax requests. This solution is reload the whole page. This solution is good if you don't like to assign an ID to each ajax request, and if you make ajax requests inside for-loop. This will make sure all ajax requests are killed.
location.reload();
Better to use independent code.....
var xhrQueue = [];
$(document).ajaxSend(function(event,jqxhr,settings){
xhrQueue.push(jqxhr); //alert(settings.url);
});
$(document).ajaxComplete(function(event,jqxhr,settings){
var i;
if((i=$.inArray(jqxhr,xhrQueue)) > -1){
xhrQueue.splice(i,1); //alert("C:"+settings.url);
}
});
ajaxAbort = function (){ //alert("abortStart");
var i=0;
while(xhrQueue.length){
xhrQueue[i++] .abort(); //alert(i+":"+xhrQueue[i++]);
}
};
Using ajaxSetup is not correct, as is noted on its doc page. It only sets up defaults, and if some requests override them there will be a mess.
I am way late to the party, but just for future reference if someone is looking for a solution to the same problem, here is my go at it, inspired by and largely identical to the previous answers, but more complete
// Automatically cancel unfinished ajax requests
// when the user navigates elsewhere.
(function($) {
var xhrPool = [];
$(document).ajaxSend(function(e, jqXHR, options){
xhrPool.push(jqXHR);
});
$(document).ajaxComplete(function(e, jqXHR, options) {
xhrPool = $.grep(xhrPool, function(x){return x!=jqXHR});
});
var abort = function() {
$.each(xhrPool, function(idx, jqXHR) {
jqXHR.abort();
});
};
var oldbeforeunload = window.onbeforeunload;
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
var r = oldbeforeunload ? oldbeforeunload() : undefined;
if (r == undefined) {
// only cancel requests if there is no prompt to stay on the page
// if there is a prompt, it will likely give the requests enough time to finish
abort();
}
return r;
}
})(jQuery);
I had some problems with andy's code, but it gave me some great ideas. First problem was that we should pop off any jqXHR objects that successfully complete. I also had to modify the abortAll function. Here is my final working code:
$.xhrPool = [];
$.xhrPool.abortAll = function() {
$(this).each(function(idx, jqXHR) {
jqXHR.abort();
});
};
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(jqXHR) {
$.xhrPool.push(jqXHR);
}
});
$(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
$.xhrPool.pop();
});
I didn't like the ajaxComplete() way of doing things. No matter how I tried to configure .ajaxSetup it did not work.
The following snippet allows you to maintain a list (pool) of request and abort them all if needed. Best to place in the <HEAD> of your html, before any other AJAX calls are made.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$.xhrPool = [];
$.xhrPool.abortAll = function() {
$(this).each(function(i, jqXHR) { // cycle through list of recorded connection
jqXHR.abort(); // aborts connection
$.xhrPool.splice(i, 1); // removes from list by index
});
}
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(jqXHR) { $.xhrPool.push(jqXHR); }, // annd connection to list
complete: function(jqXHR) {
var i = $.xhrPool.indexOf(jqXHR); // get index for current connection completed
if (i > -1) $.xhrPool.splice(i, 1); // removes from list by index
}
});
})
</script>
