You can abort $http
calls via the timeout
config property, which can be a Promise, that aborts the request when resolved.
So in restangular, you can do this like
var abort = $q.defer();
Restangular.one('foos', 12345).withHttpConfig({timeout: abort.promise}).get();
abort.resolve();
To integrate it with your usecase, for example, you could have this in your service:
var abortGet;
this.getRecords = function(params) {
...
if (abortGet) abortGet.resolve();
abortGet = $q.defer();
return Restangular
.all('/api/records')
.withHttpConfig({timeout: abortGet.promise})
.post(filters);
}
This way calling getRecords
always aborts the previous call if has not been resolved yet!
