# About

<!--

!IMPORTANT!

Everything in this README between "# About" and "# Install" is automatically
generated and will be overwritten the next time the doc generator is run.

To make changes to this section, please update the @packageDocumentation section
of src/index.js or src/index.ts

To experiment with formatting, please run "npm run docs" from the root of this
repo and examine the changes made.

-->

Similar to [AbortSignal.any](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortSignal/any_static)
except the returned promise has a `.clear` method that removes all event
listeners added to passed signals preventing memory leaks.

At the time of writing at least, `AbortSignal.any` leaks memory in Node.js
and Deno environments:

- <https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/54614>
- <https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/24842>

## Example

```js
import { anySignal } from 'any-signal'

const userController = new AbortController()

// Abort after 1 second
const timeoutSignal = AbortSignal.timeout(1000)

const combinedSignal = anySignal([userController.signal, timeoutSignal])
combinedSignal.addEventListener('abort', () => console.log('Abort!'))

try {
  // The user or the timeout can now abort the action
  await performSomeAction({ signal: combinedSignal })
} finally {
  // Clear will clean up internal event handlers
  combinedSignal.clear()
}
```

# Install

```console
$ npm i any-signal
```

## Browser `<script>` tag

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

```
