Stop other promises when Promise.all() rejects
Cancellation of promises is not included in the Promises/A+ specification.
However, some Promise libraries have such a cancellation extension. Take for example bluebird:
Promise.config({ cancellation: true }); // <-- enables this non-standard feature
const promise1 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(resolve, 1000, 'resolve1');
}).then(a => { console.log('then1'); return a; });
const promise2 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(reject, 2000, 'reject2');
}).then(a => { console.log('then2'); return a; });
const promise3 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(resolve, 3000, 'resolve3');
}).then(a => { console.log('then3'); return a; });
const promises = [promise1, promise2, promise3];
Promise.all(promises)
.then(values => {
console.log('then', values);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log('catch', err);
promises.forEach(p => p.cancel()); // <--- Does not work with standard promises
});<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/bluebird/latest/bluebird.core.min.js"></script>Note that even though promise3 is cancelled, its setTimeout callback will still be called. But it will not trigger the then or catch callbacks. It will be as if that promise never comes to a resolution ... ever.
If you want to also stop the timer event from triggering, then this is unrelated to promises, and can be done with clearTimeout. Bluebird exposes an onCancel callback function in the Promise constructor, which it will call when a promise is cancelled. So you can use that to remove the timer event:
Promise.config({ cancellation: true }); // <-- enables this non-standard feature
const promise1 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(resolve, 1000, 'resolve1');
}).then(a => { console.log('then1'); return a; });
const promise2 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(reject, 2000, 'reject2');
}).then(a => { console.log('then2'); return a; });
const promise3 = new Promise((resolve, reject, onCancel) => { // Third argument (non-standard)
var timer = setTimeout(resolve, 3000, 'resolve3');
onCancel(_ => {
clearTimeout(timer);
console.log('cancelled 3');
});
}).then(a => { console.log('then3'); return a; });
const promises = [promise1, promise2, promise3];
Promise.all(promises)
.then(values => {
console.log('then', values);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log('catch', err);
promises.forEach(p => p.cancel()); // <--- Does not work with standard promises
});<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/bluebird/latest/bluebird.core.min.js"></script>As stated in the comments promises cannot be canceled.
You would need to use a third party promise library or rxjs observables.
