Class CancellablePromise<T>

This example shows off how TypeDoc handles

Complex method signatures
Static methods
A method with 10 overload signatures. Wow!
- Only the implementation signature has a doc comment. TypeDoc automatically copies the comment from the implementation signature to each of the visible signatures if they don't have one.

A promise with a cancel method. If canceled, the CancellablePromise will reject with a Cancellation object. Originally from real-cancellable-promise.

constructor

new CancellablePromise<T>(promise, cancel): CancellablePromise<T>
Type Parameters
- T
Parameters
- promise: PromiseLike<T>
  
  a normal promise or thenable
- cancel: ((reason?) => void)
  
  a function that cancels promise. Calling cancel after promise has resolved must be a no-op.
  - - (reason?): void
    - Parameters
      
      Optional reason: string
      
      Returns void
Returns CancellablePromise<T>
- Defined in example/src/classes/CancellablePromise.ts:70

Properties

`Protected` `Readonly` promise

promise: Promise<T>

As a consumer of the library, you shouldn't ever need to access CancellablePromise.promise directly.

If you are subclassing CancellablePromise for some reason, you can access this property.

`Readonly` cancel

cancel: ((reason?) => void)

Type declaration

- (reason?): void
- Cancel the CancellablePromise.
  Parameters
  - Optional reason: string
  Returns void

Methods

then

then<TResult1, TResult2>(onFulfilled?, onRejected?): CancellablePromise<TResult1 | TResult2>
Analogous to Promise.then.

onFulfilled on onRejected can return a value, a normal promise, or a CancellablePromise. So you can make a chain a CancellablePromises like this:
```
const overallPromise = cancellableAsyncFunction1()
    .then(cancellableAsyncFunction2)
    .then(cancellableAsyncFunction3)
    .then(cancellableAsyncFunction4)
```
Then if you call overallPromise.cancel, cancel is called on all CancellablePromises in the chain! In practice, this means that whichever async operation is in progress will be canceled.
Type Parameters
- TResult1 = T
- TResult2 = never
Parameters
- Optional onFulfilled: null | ((value) => TResult1 | PromiseLike<TResult1>)
- Optional onRejected: null | ((reason) => TResult2 | PromiseLike<TResult2>)
Returns CancellablePromise<TResult1 | TResult2>
a new CancellablePromise
- Defined in example/src/classes/CancellablePromise.ts:95

catch

catch<TResult>(onRejected?): CancellablePromise<T | TResult>
Analogous to Promise.catch.
Type Parameters
- TResult = never
Parameters
- Optional onRejected: null | ((reason) => TResult | PromiseLike<TResult>)
Returns CancellablePromise<T | TResult>
- Defined in example/src/classes/CancellablePromise.ts:146

finally

finally(onFinally?): CancellablePromise<T>
Attaches a callback that is invoked when the Promise is settled (fulfilled or rejected). The resolved value cannot be modified from the callback.
Parameters
- Optional onFinally: null | (() => void)
  
  The callback to execute when the Promise is settled (fulfilled or rejected).
Returns CancellablePromise<T>
A Promise for the completion of the callback.
- Defined in example/src/classes/CancellablePromise.ts:163

`Static` resolve

resolve(): CancellablePromise<void>
Analogous to Promise.resolve.

The returned promise should resolve even if it is canceled. The idea is that the promise is resolved instantaneously, so by the time the promise is canceled, it has already resolved.

Returns CancellablePromise<void>
- Defined in example/src/classes/CancellablePromise.ts:179
resolve<T>(value): CancellablePromise<T>
Type Parameters
- T
Parameters
- value: T
Returns CancellablePromise<T>
- Defined in example/src/classes/CancellablePromise.ts:181

`Static` reject

reject<T>(reason?): CancellablePromise<T>
Analogous to Promise.reject.

Like CancellablePromise.resolve, canceling the returned CancellablePromise is a no-op.
Type Parameters
- T
Parameters
- Optional reason: unknown
  
  this should probably be an Error object
Returns CancellablePromise<T>
- Defined in example/src/classes/CancellablePromise.ts:195
