abort-controller-es5
This package is based on abort-controller
. It did not contains an ES5 module. Importing the module directly or indirectly may break web apps running on ES5 browsers.
On npm install
, this package will transpile your version of abort-controller
to make it compatible with ES5 browsers. Then in your code, you use abort-controller-es5
instead of abort-controller
.
Package authors should consider importing this package instead of abort-controller
, so your packages will not break your users due to having abort-controller
as a transient dependency.
How to use
To install in your project, run:
npm install abort-controller abort-controller-es5
In your code:
const controller = new AbortController();
controller.signal.addEventListener('abort', event => {
// Handle abort signal
});
controller.abort();
You can also use it in HTML:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/abort-controller-es5/dist/abort-controller-es5.production.min.js"></script>
How it works
On postinstall
, this package will run esbuild
to bundle abort-controller
into a single file. Then run Babel to transpile it for ES5.
This package peer-depends on abort-controller
. Thus, you can select your own version of abort-controller
.
abort-controller
Updating When you update abort-controller
, re-run npm install abort-controller-es5
to get the latest package transpiled.
Alternatives
Instead of importing this package, there are alternative workarounds you can use.
Including the source code
You can copy the source code of abort-controller
into your web app and use your build pipeline transpile the original package.
Be sure to include the original license and continue to depends on the package to make sure npm audit
will scan for vulnerabilities.
Modify your bundler configuration
Some bundlers is configured not to transpile code under /node_modules/
unless specified explicitly. You can modify bundler configuration to include /node_modules/abort-controller/
and use Babel to transpile it while bundling.
