downloads.cancel()
The cancel() function of the downloads API cancels a download. The call will fail if the download is not active: for example, because it has completed downloading.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.
Syntax
js
let canceling = browser.downloads.cancel(
downloadId // integer
)
Parameters
downloadId-
integer. The id of the download to cancel.
Return value
A Promise. If the request was successful, the promise will be fulfilled with no arguments. If the request failed, the promise will be rejected with an error message.
Examples
js
let downloadId = 13;
function onCanceled() {
console.log(`Canceled download`);
}
function onError(error) {
console.log(`Error: ${error}`);
}
let canceling = browser.downloads.cancel(downloadId);
canceling.then(onCanceled, onError);
