How can I cancel an Axios request in Node.js?

You can cancel an Axios request using the CancelToken feature. Here's a quick example.

Can you show me a code snippet for that?

Sure! Here's how you can implement it:

const axios = require('axios');
const CancelToken = axios.CancelToken;
let cancel;

axios.get('https://api.example.com/data', {
  cancelToken: new CancelToken(function executor(c) {
    cancel = c;
  })
}).then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
}).catch(function (thrown) {
  if (axios.isCancel(thrown)) {
    console.log('Request canceled', thrown.message);
  } else {
    // handle error
  }
});

// To cancel the request:
// cancel('Operation canceled by the user.');

What happens if I try to cancel a request that has already completed?

If you try to cancel a request that has already completed, the cancel function will not have any effect, and you'll just receive the response as usual.
