This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The cancel()
method of the ReadableStreamBYOBReader
interface cancels the stream, signaling a loss of interest in the stream by a consumer. The supplied reason
parameter will be given to the underlying source, which may or may not use it.
Note: If the reader is active, the cancel()
method behaves the same as that for the associated stream (ReadableStream.cancel()
).
Syntax
var promise = readableStreamBYOBReader.cancel(reason);
Parameters
- reason
- A
DOMString
providing a human-readable reason for the cancellation.
Return value
A Promise
, which fulfills with the value given in the reason
parameter.
Exceptions
- TypeError
- The source object is not a
ReadableStreamBYOBReader
, or the stream has no owner.
Examples
TBD.
