cancelation_token

This package provides an interface for cancelation tokens as well as various implementations:

• CancelableToken which can be canceled programmatically;
• CompositeToken which is canceled when any or all tokens are canceled;
• TimeoutToken which is canceled after a timeout period.

Example

Cancel a long-running execution after a timeout.

import 'package:cancelation_token/cancelation_token.dart';

void main() async {
  final timeout = Duration(seconds: 5);
  final errorOnTimeout = CanceledException.withStackTrace('Too long!');
  final token = TimeoutToken(timeout, errorOnTimeout);
  token.ensureStarted();

  try {
    await longProcess(token);
  } on CanceledException catch (ex, st) {
    print(ex.message);
    print(ex.stackTrace);
    print(st);
  }
}

Future<void> longProcess(CancelationToken token) async {
  // very long indeed!
  while (true) {
    token.throwIfCanceled();
    await Future.delayed(const Duration(milliseconds: 100));
  }
}
