Angular 9
I want to implement function to cancel api request when user click a button. I'm using "subscribe" so I thought "unsubscribe()" would work well, but not as I had expected.
this is a stackblitz sample code, which call/cancel api request, and response would be shown in console.

In this code, as below, I called "unsubscribe()" to cancel called request. Actually after calling "unsubscribe()", soon it reached to add(). but soon after, it received actual API response.
export class SearchService {
private foo: any = null;
constructor(private apiService: ApiService) { }
public getItemList() {
this.fetchData();
}
public cancel() {
if(this.foo != null) {
this.foo.unsubscribe();
console.log('unsubscribed');
}
}
private fetchData(){
const endPoint: string = 'https://www.mocky.io/v2/5c245ec630000072007a5f77?mocky-delay=2000ms';
this.foo = this.apiService.getData(endPoint).subscribe((resp)=>{
console.log(resp);
},(err)=>{
console.log(err);
}).add(() => {
this.foo = null;
console.log('complete');
});
}
}
output was
search clicked.
cancel clicked.
complete.
unsubscribed.
{status: true, statusMessage: "Items fetched successfully", data: Array[10]}.
After cancellation, I don't want to receive response because it's the purpose of "cancel". But I couldn't figure out how to do.
Thank you for your kind help, in advance.
