Since the last LTS version of Node.js that does not support AbortController
will be out of maintenance on April 30, 2023, I don't see a reason to add support for a request cancellation feature for Node.js v14 and older.
The only thing that needs to be taken care of is that DynamicsWebApi should still be usable in older versions of Node but without a cancellation feature. Which means, there needs to be a version check for Node.js and if that feature is attempted to be used in v14 and older throw an error message: "Request cancellation is not supported in your version of Node.js. Minimum version requirement is 15.0.0.".
Thus, AbortController
will be used to cancel active requests in Node.js and a Browser. Need to research Browser version limitations next.
Implement Abort Signal that cancels an active request. This is a crucial feature and will require changes in the core modules:
xhr
andhttp
.Main question: should the cancellation signal be implemented using the AbortController or should it be a custom one? Is it even possible to depend on
AbortController
in all cases?Another thing: inclusion of
AbortController
will require to have a minimum version of Node.js to be 15.0.0. Is it acceptable? How many environments have older versions of Node.js and if they do, why?
