hi! how can i handle a cancelled request? especially cancel coroutine methods called within a request?

[Dominaezzz]

Are you implementing an engine?

[cy]

Just launch your coroutines in a request coroutine scope. Once request get cancelled, the whole coroutine scope will be cancelled as well

[cy]

```

[cy]

get("/") {
    launch { 
        // this will be cancelled if failed
    }
}

i have this datasource which has it's own threadpool .. so in the datasource i have a method suspend getData() {withContext(pool.asDispacther()) { do something}} do i have to add the scope to withContext?

[bitkid]

getData will be called in get("/") {}

[cy]

No, you don't need anything

However, note that immediate cancellation is not possible during blocking operations such as reading from a socket
