Aborting a request
editAborting a request
editWhen using the callback style API, the function will also return an object that allows you to abort the API request.
// calback API const request = client.search({ index: 'my-index', body: { query: { match: { hello: 'world' } } } }, { ignore: [404], maxRetries: 3 }, (err, { body }) => { if (err) console.log(err) }) request.abort()
Aborting a request with the promise style API is not supported, but you can easily achieve that with convenience wrapper.
function abortableRequest (params, options) { var request = null const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => { request = client.search(params, options, (err, result) => { err ? reject(err) : resolve(res) }) }) return { promise, abort: () => request.abort() } } const request = abortableRequest({ index: 'my-index', body: { query: { match: { hello: 'world' } } } }, { ignore: [404], maxRetries: 3 }) request.abort() // access the promise with `request.promise.[method]`
