isAbortError(error): boolean

Defined in: core/errors.ts:37

Different providers throw different error types when a request is aborted:

• Standard: AbortError (name) - from fetch/AbortController
• Anthropic SDK: APIConnectionAbortedError
• OpenAI SDK: APIUserAbortError
• Generic: errors with “abort”, “cancelled”, or “canceled” in the message

Parameters

error

unknown

The error to check

Returns

boolean

true if the error is an abort-related error, false otherwise

Example

import { isAbortError } from "@llmist/core/errors";

const controller = new AbortController();

try {
  for await (const chunk of client.stream({ signal: controller.signal, ... })) {
    // Process chunks...
  }
} catch (error) {
  if (isAbortError(error)) {
    console.log("Request was cancelled - this is expected");
    return; // Graceful exit
  }
  // Re-throw unexpected errors
  throw error;
}
