Question

How to cancel a HTTPRequest in Angular 2?

I know how to reject the request promise only.

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    this.currentLoading.set(url, {resolve, reject});

    this.http.get(url, {headers: reqHeaders})
        .subscribe(
            (res) => {
                res = res.json();

                this.currentLoading.delete(url);
                this.cache.set(url, res);

                resolve(res);
            }
        );
});

You can use the following simple solution:

if ( this.subscription ) {
   this.subscription.unsubscribe();
}
this.subscription = this.http.get( 'awesomeApi' )
 .subscribe((res)=> {
  // your awesome code..
})
