# signal

A signal object allowing you to cancel the request.

## Declaration

```data
signal?: AbortSignal;
```

## Discussion

Discussion Pass an AbortSignal from an AbortController to allow the controller to cancel a pending search or autocomplete request. When the controller aborts, the promise it returns rejects with a DOMException whose name is "AbortError". const controller = new AbortController(); const search = new mapkit.Search();

try {     const data = await search.search("coffee", { signal: controller.signal });     // Handle results. } catch (error) {     if (error.name === "AbortError") {         // The request was canceled.     } }

// Cancel the request at any time: controller.abort();
