Aborting requests throws a ReferenceError in node.js

[solmsted]

Using node.js v8.11.1

Simple example to reproduce:

const PromiseThrottle = require('promise-throttle'),
    promiseThrottle = new PromiseThrottle({
        promiseImplementation: Promise,
        requestsPerSecond: 1
    });

promiseThrottle.add(() => Promise.resolve(), {
    signal: {
        aborted: true
    }
});

This results in an error: UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): ReferenceError: DOMException is not defined

You are right, @solmsted. As far as I know, AbortSignal and AbortController are not supported in Node.JS. One reason is that DOMException is not defined in Node.JS.

According to the spec:

APIs that rely upon AbortController are encouraged to respond to abort() by rejecting any unsettled promise with a new "AbortError" DOMException.

At this point, the library either triggers an early exception when trying to use a signal in node, or it throws a regular Exception when aborting in node.
