A simple error class and options interface that seems to get copied from
project to project.

## Example - Using AbortError

```JavaScript
import { AbortError } from 'abort-error'

// a promise that will be settled later
const deferred = Promise.withResolvers()

const signal = AbortSignal.timeout(1000)
signal.addEventListener('abort', () => {
  deferred.reject(new AbortError())
})
```

## Example - Using AbortOptions

```TypeScript
import type { AbortOptions } from 'abort-error'

async function myFunction (options?: AbortOptions) {
  return fetch('https://example.com', {
    signal: options?.signal
  })
}
```

# Install

```console
$ npm i abort-error
```

## Browser `<script>` tag

Loading this module through a script tag will make its exports available as `AbortError` in the global namespace.

```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/abort-error/dist/index.min.js"></script>
```
