API reference > @kontsedal/olas-core > isAbortError

isAbortError() function โ€‹

True iff err looks like an AbortError. Matches the standard DOMException shape thrown by AbortController AND any object whose name === 'AbortError' โ€” that covers axios / msw / user-thrown plain Errors that signal abort.

Spec: ยง20.12. Node 17+ exposes a global DOMException, so the instanceof branch works server-side; the name-based branch is the portable fallback.

Signature:

typescript
export declare function isAbortError(err: unknown): boolean;

Parameters โ€‹
