Modern Asynchronous JavaScript: displaying images as they're loaded (page 50)
In Aborting Multiple Fetch Requests with One Signal section, the code in abort/abort_ex09.js doesn’t show the downloaded images until Promise.all fulfills, which means you need to wait for all the image downloads before seeing them. Also, if you cancel after some downloads have finished, you won’t see those images.
I suggest a small change to make it display the images as the corresponding promise fulfills:
33c33,38
< const tasks = urls.map(url => fetch(url, {signal: controller.signal}));
---
> const tasks = urls.map(url => fetch(url, {signal: controller.signal}).then(async (r) => {
> const img = document.createElement('img');
> const blob = await r.blob();
> img.src = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
> gallery.appendChild(img);
> }));
36,43c41,43
< const response = await Promise.all(tasks);
< response.forEach(async (r) => {
< const img = document.createElement('img');
< const blob = await r.blob();
< img.src = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
< gallery.appendChild(img);
< });
< result.textContent = '';
---
> Promise.all(tasks).then(() => {
> result.textContent = '';
> });

Oh, my bad!
Thanks for clarifying that. We’re updating the code in the next version of the book.
