Feature idea: Abort pending requests

See original GitHub issue

I saw that in the middleware the req object has a request object with operationName.

{query: Object, variables: Object, operationName: "Search"}

So I’m figuring out a way to cancel previous request with the same operationName.

Motivation

The motivation behind is to use this feature on search’s autocomplete/suggestions.

So when a new query is made we cancel the last request if it is not completed yet, so make it easy to treat the asynchronism in the frontend.

I think this feature is really needed. For example, lets say some private data is being fetched and user clicks logout. With a slow network, we could have a race condition, when private data would arrive after user logged out. Aborting a pending request in the case like this would prevent such a disaster.

The latest version of the fetch API is cancellable (implemented in Firefox and Edge, easy to polyfill): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController

Any plans to implement that?
