Disposal

Problem

Implement disposal in a production-friendly way with @vielzeug/fetchit while keeping setup and cleanup explicit.

Runnable Example

The snippet below is copy-paste runnable in a TypeScript project with @vielzeug/fetchit installed.

ts
// Using declarations (TypeScript 5.2+)
{
  using api = createApi({ baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com' });
  using qc = createQuery();
  // Automatically disposed at end of block
}

// Manual disposal — good for singleton cleanup on logout
function cleanup() {
  api.dispose();
  qc.dispose();
}

Expected Output

  • The example runs without type errors in a standard TypeScript setup.
  • The main flow produces the behavior described in the recipe title.

Common Pitfalls

  • Forgetting cleanup/dispose calls can leak listeners or stale state.
  • Skipping explicit typing can hide integration issues until runtime.
  • Not handling error branches makes examples harder to adapt safely.
