Hi Thankyou for the video in this case for each render in useEffect you have created new AbortController instance ,Simple before making a fetch call can't we just call abort() method there ? Once we call that method it cancels the previous api request right ? Please correct me if I'm missing something Thanks

Great demonstration Colby, as always. The example project is on spot in terms of illustrating the issue and the solution. I have one question. As I understood, the AbortController cancels requests that are initiated but have not been completed yet. So, let's assume fetch returns responses pretty quickly in my connection. Does this mean that I have to type letters quickly for abortcontroller to cancel? And if I type slowly all the previous letters are going to get through. I know you mentioned throttling and stuff at the end, that's probably the solution. I was just wondering about AbortController
@colbyfayock Жыл бұрын
yeah - that's absolutely right. if there's no active request, we can't really cancel it. that's why i had to add the setTimeout inside of the API endpoint because it was too fast, though you could use the Network Tab throttling to potentially see this effect too when testing

Very useful! Previously I didn't know how to implement an AbortController in a handler function because of the reasons you listed, so I always just defaulted to using useEffect with the cleanup function being controller.abort LOL

This looks nice, however, in a real production envirionment, you'd never have a search function inside of your component, what if it is imported from utils? How do you handle the abort requests in it? Can you pass refs to an imported function?

Is it a good approach to create a custom hook for abortController and then use it in any component that we need it?
@colbyfayock5 күн бұрын
it probably would make sense for the whole request to be a custom hook as opposed to just the controller

Great video! What if I have an error boundary (Next.js), and I don't want it to be triggered by cancelled request? Should I check the type of the error catched in the catch block?
@colbyfayock5 ай бұрын
did the cancelled request trigger the error boundary? i dont remember having that issue in my code wrapped in a try/catch: github.com/colbyfayock/my-abort-requests/blob/main/src/components/Search/Search.tsx perhaps if you show me the code i can get a better idea to try to reproduce and see

which is better cleanup of useEffect or abort controller??

@@colbyfayock Well what's happening is, our web app is doing puts after every field of a form (no submit button :( ) and they're stacking up... and of course we have a race condition. I followed your example and set up an abort controller using a ref; then we're doing an await on a call that does an axios put to store the data and I'm passing in the abort controller to set the signal. I was expecting the first call to get cancelled, instead both complete with a 200 :(
@colbyfayock9 ай бұрын
@@terryellis333got it okay, im not familiar with how this works with Axios, potentially an issue there? but you might have some luck additionally adding throttling on the requests, to prevent the requests from occurring in the first place. that way you're avoiding sending too many requests, but if requests do trigger too quickly still due to differing factors, you have the abortcontroller to manage the cancellation

wow , thanks man, i was searching for something same but when user clicks multiple links to different pages, i want it to abort all others and just focus on the last one, also if person is fetching multiple apis data it should about all and only fetch the last one in react/nextjs app, i am unable to do that or simply logic how to do it in whole application at globa,l level

Couldn’t you use debounce so it’s only fired once when the user stops typing?
@colbyfayock Жыл бұрын
totally! i mention that in there. or maybe i mentioned throttle as opposed to denounce, but generally, yeah. being able to combine the two would likely be the best bet between having a responsive enough UI and still managing the async requests getting fired out
