Cancelable Async Functions with Generators

Explore how to implement cancelable asynchronous functions in Node.js by using generators. Understand how the createAsyncCancelable() function wraps generator functions to provide cancellation capabilities without cluttering code, allowing you to manage async flows more cleanly and effectively.

We'll cover the following...

The cancelable wrapper function is a big step ahead compared to embedding the cancelation logic directly in our code. However, it’s still not ideal for two reasons: it’s error prone (what if we forget to wrap one function?) and it still affects the readability of our code, which makes it not ideal for implementing cancelable asynchronous operations that are ...
