Section/Content To Improve

The examples folder currently lacks a clear, practical example demonstrating how to cancel ongoing HTTP requests using the modern AbortController API.

Suggested Improvement

I would like to propose adding a new example file /examples/abort-controller/index.html (or similar) that demonstrates:

1. How to cancel a single request using AbortController
2. How to cancel multiple concurrent requests
3. Proper cleanup and error handling when a request is aborted
4. Real-world use case: canceling a request when a user navigates away or performs a new search

Motivation

Request cancellation is a common requirement in modern web applications, especially for:

• Search-as-you-type functionality
• Preventing race conditions
• Improving performance by canceling unnecessary requests
• Better user experience when navigating between pages

While the documentation mentions AbortController support, a practical example would greatly help developers implement this feature correctly.

Additional Context

I'm happy to contribute a PR for this example if the maintainers agree it would be a valuable addition to the examples collection.

Suggested Improvement

Add a comprehensive example demonstrating request cancellation using AbortController API with practical use cases like search-as-you-type and handling race conditions.
