Aborting an Azure Function

[jmfirth-arkane]

I see no documentation for passing an AbortSignal through to a Node.js Azure Function for aborting a request. How is this achieved?

Hi @jmfirth-arkane, this isn't supported for Node.js right now, but we're happy to add it to the backlog.

I assume you're looking for something similar to cancellation token support in .NET? Docs on .NET support here with additional details here

A few related issues:

• Provide out-of-proc support for cancellation tokens azure-functions-host#2152
• Support for HttpContext.RequestAborted in the HttpTrigger cancellation token azure-functions-host#8903

Ejizba, thanks for your response! This feels like a great feature to have, thank you for adding it to the backlog.

It would be a great addition in terms of supporting graceful shutdown in functions with NodeJs on the top of app service plans
