how to use abort method of Advanced Http

[jamalkarami]

Hi everyone, I hope you are fine.

I have tried to use abort method for aborting a request as written in Readme file.

// start a request and get its requestId
var requestId = cordova.plugin.http.downloadFile("https://google.com/", {
  id: '12',
  message: 'test'
}, { Authorization: 'OAuth2: token' }, 'file:///somepicture.jpg', function(entry, response) {
  // prints the filename
  console.log(entry.name);

  // prints the filePath
  console.log(entry.fullPath);

  // prints the status code
  console.log(response.status);
}, function(response) {
  // if request was actually aborted, failure callback with status -8 will be invoked
  if(response.status === -8){
    console.log('download aborted');
  } else {
    console.error(response.error);
  }
});

//...

// abort request
cordova.plugin.http.abort(requestId, function(result) {
  // prints if request was aborted: true | false
  console.log(result.aborted);
}, function(response) {
  console.error(response.error);
});

But when I try the same code, It doesn't work, the requestId is underlined in red with this error : L'argument de type 'Promise' n'est pas attribuable au paramètre de type 'string'.

The request methods post|get|put|delete|patch|downloadFile|uploadFile| return a Promise not string id

Thanks for any help in how to get requestId ?

Assuming you're also using the @awesome-cordova-plugins wrapper, I found there's methods that end with *Sync that return a string requestId to use with abort, like

let requestId = this.http.sendRequestSync(url, options, (result: HTTPResponse) => console.log('Success!'), (error: any) => console.log('Failure!') );

this.http.abort(requestId);
