Module abortController

Example

// Creating a self-destruct sequence (that we can cancel!)
const controller = new AbortController();

async function selfDestruct() {
  try {
    for(let i = 10; i > 0; i--) {
      controller.signal.throwIfAborted();
      print(`Self-destruct in ${i}...`);
      await sleep(1000);
    }
    print("💥 BOOM!");
  } catch (e) {
    print("Self-destruct cancelled! Phew!");
  }
}

// Start the countdown
selfDestruct();

// Changed our mind? Just abort!
controller.abort("Never mind!");
